Some little tools for loading ammo
On Sun, 12 Aug 2007 02:47:16 -0500, with neither quill nor qualm, Don
Foreman quickly quoth: Metal content. http://users.goldengate.net/~dforeman/ammo_tools/ Cute! Whassa "Gander Mountain"? (Ah, googled it and found that it's like our Big5, BlackBird, or GI Joe's sporting goods stores) -- The ancient and curious thing called religion, as it shows itself in the modern world, is often so overladen with excrescences and irrelevancies that its fundamental nature tends to be obscured. --H.L. Mencken in "Treatise on the Gods" |

Makes it usable for more than one caliber , but then takes a hand to steady it while pouring . Just out of curiosity , why don't you use an adjustable powder measure ? Looking for that last tenth of a moa ? If that is the case , have you checked your case necks for uniform thickness and concentricity ? I have a sweet little outside neck turning tool that a friend made me years ago , has a replaceable pilot (to change calibers) and uses a 1/4" lathe bit as a cutter . -- Snag aka OSG #1 '90 Ultra , "Strider" The road goes on forever ... none to one to reply |

For handguns, I used to use a small powder measure with fixed brass rotors. After working up a load, I'd just drill or fill another rotor. This was with the Rockchucker, pre-Dillon. Pete Keillor |

Looking for that last tenth of a moa ? Let's just say I'm trying to give myself the best shot at 0.5 MOA and better without spending a fortune at it or making a fetish of it. I weigh each charge to 0.1 grain with a balance -- not an electronic scale. The measure is just to get within trickle distance without spending all day trickling. I do use a volumetric measure for handgun ammo, crank it out like jellybeans. I think DOA is a more reasonable measure of handgun proficiency, read that however you might. G If that is the case , have you checked your case necks for uniform thickness and concentricity ?

That may make my list of "shop season" projects. |

Mine's about 1X2X3 , with a notch across one short end --------- I I---- I I -------------- kinda like that , with the pilot protruding into the L from one side and the cutter at 90* . I quit chasing that elusive half a minute years ago . And with handguns , DOA works for me . The 'bangers in my hood don't wanna mess with the Harley Guy , he packs a big 'ol pistol . And knows how to use it . -- Snag aka OSG #1 '90 Ultra , "Strider" The road goes on forever ... none to one to reply |
