    Lapua Brass problem?

    Talked with Kevin Thomas Talked with Kevin Thomas a little while ago. I send him a few pictures in an email and here is his reply: In looking at these photos, I’m quite certain that the discolorations on these cases are the result of handling, fumes from chemicals stored nearby, or some other...

    Lapua Brass problem?

    I just opened a new box of Lapua 7-08 brass and noticed a few pieces have been burnished from the annealing process at the base and head. Have any of you noticed this before? I have not seen this on any other than this box. I am not sure if it has softened the brass more than can be used or not...

    Interesting note while making 30 BR cases

    Yesterday I made 80 new 30 BR cases from 6 BR Lapua brass. I turned the necks in a new fashion to me as I have always turned them in a Lathe I used a new PMA turner. I did notice since doing this by hand (in a cordless drill) rather than in the Lathe with a 5 HP motor, that it took a little more...

    Lathe remorse

    Thanks for all the replies I have order a PMA neck turner hopefully this will get me past this dilemma. I would really like to get a 10" with a 1.5" spindle bore but I do not think my little work shop will support it. It truly is a huge disadvantage to be without a Lathe!

    Lathe remorse

    Rob that is a very cool setup the Optimum appears to have enough power to do small jobs with tool steel and must have very tight tolerances. Did your conversion give it the power and the tight tolerances? Was it capable out of the box to hold tolerances and have enough power for small jobs manually?

    Lathe remorse

    I recently sold my lathe and mill. Since doing so I cannot believe how many times I wish I had a lathe for anything from turning necks to just making a bushing. Does anyone have any experience with one of the small bench lathes say 7" X 10"? Would one I be able to for instance cut threads to...

    Where are the shooters?

    I have relocated from the midwest to SE Florida. Since here I have been to many gun shops, indoor, and outdoor ranges trying to find other people that have interest in benchrest shooting. I have been pretty unsuccessful so far. There are many people interested in shooting just not in Benchrest...

    My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.' She sighed and went to get the...
