    OK all you'se HSS hand-grinding goofballs.....

    What really works well, is................ a grinder with a built-in speed control, you can turn it down 'til it doesn't generate sparks when you touch it with scrap. It takes a little longer, but does a better job, smoother, too..... You could also use a mill, like a Bridgeport w/dial-a-speed...

    Accidently mixed two different powders

    Well, you can always............. try to sieve it, if the powders are dissimilar enough in appearance. I did that once when I dumped ball into extruded. Then again, since its less than 40%, and if they're close enough in burn rate and type (ball, extruded, etc.), why not mix them thoroughly and...

    Remington 6 1/2 small rifle primers

    Because the Hornet doesn't.......... need that high a primer pressure, to ignite that small a charge. :eek: That primer, the 6-1/2, will also work very nicely in many of the .222-based cartridges, where one is using a slow cast bullet or a reduced velocity jacketed bullet load, that likes a...

    can't see the blue

    Its difficult to see blue............ on new American cases, because most of the mfgrs. polish it off. I guess that may have come along when they first started offering cases as a component, and at that time, I bet many didn't do any annealing at all; and most who'd see it would probably have...

    Winchester 52D International Match small bore target rifle

    I remember seeing photos........... in the late 60s, (Winchester advertisements) of a laminate stock 52 International, as a matter of fact, that was the last and only 52 available at that time. Sorry I never ordered one at the shop I worked in, but I just wasn't "in" to that at the point in time.

    UH-OH, Here c-c-comes that (B-B-BRRR) C-C-CR-Cryo word again........

    No, Boyd.............. No, I didn't read the article, because It was gone before I'd found out about it. But, I did the next best thing, I went to the source, Mr. Thomas, not that he'd remember the conversation. As far as rude and condescending that was exactly the initial impression I got of...

    UH-OH, Here c-c-comes that (B-B-BRRR) C-C-CR-Cryo word again........

    As another poster would say, Welp............. I think Kevin Thomas said he performed excruciating research on barrels 'til they were almost dead, and they didn't last longer/were more accurate/easier to clean/make him more sexy, etc., because he was probably told, "Hey Kev, looka these'n try...

    UH-OH, Here c-c-comes that (B-B-BRRR) C-C-CR-Cryo word again........

    Well, I only pointed to aluminum bats.......... as a method of illustration (brand new vs. previously used) and that there are some phenomena that are being revealed all the time. That's why grant writers are regarding this as an, "Emerging Technology", even though Rick Diekman has been doing...

    Well, Butch.............. Using liquid helium these machines can run close to -450 which I'm told is helium's temp in liquid form, However, since they use a heat exchanger, they run closer to -400. W/liquid nitrogen, they typically run around -300, but some profiles have been found to be...

    PMC Brass

    About 5-8 yrs ago a friend bought 10 boxes of PMC 6.5 X 55 Mauser ammo, and it shot MOA at 200 w/the military sights. I bedded the rifle, floated the barrel, and relieved the handguard under the bands, and had it cryoed, it then had three touching and one bad shot I called, for an inch and an...
