I was hoping for some fun reads this morning, but nada. I'm disappointed in you hos. [Shake]
On the flip side, weather is no longer affecting my delivery today, hope its early enough so I can pick it up today too and not wait until Monday!
The wif and I are heading to the range tomorrow, she's been super stressed at work and needs to let off some steam. I was telling her earlier this week of recoil therapy, and she said it sounded like fun plus we haven't been in a while.
[WooHoo]
We're also borrowing a friends' S&W Shield 9 for her to try out. She loves my M&P40c but wants something smaller for EDC. She loved someones XDS when she took the class, but we don't remember which model (or if it was even the xds).
In trade for that Shield 9, I'm goign to teach my friend how to reload. He just bought a Lee Turret press, 6 calibers worth of dies, a scale, a reloading manual and 4 turrets (meant to get 5).
He also told me about a store in a nearby town that does ammo reloading while you wait, and they sell their powder/primers to customers. He said they have lots of stuff, not sure on their prices but he said its more than the LGS which has very little powder/primers still.
I was too busy ignoring the trains @ 3:26 this a.m.Quote:

I'm not sure which he got, but he did say that he read a lot online about how that press has play in it, so when you setup your dies, you need to turn them in another 1/4-1/2 a turn. He said his didn't seem to have that much play so [Dunno]
Play in the turret head means that it tilts away from the ram as he pushes and tries to form a case. It also means that bullet concentricity issues may arise with loaded ammo.
So does this issue arise from the steel/aluminum press being weaker and therefore less rigid, due to a tolerance issue with the die plates, or something else entirely different?Quote:

Tolerance issues with the play of the turret on its mounting point.Quote:

the Lee presses CAN auto index, but I wouldn't. You can just take that lever out.
Awesome, thanks for the info Belly, I'll pass it along to him when we get together to set his stuff up.
Dude the restaurant is different but they still taste like heaven!Quote:

Either has a tiny bit of play in the turret, in fact, I measured .008 front and .002 rear on a press in the FL RCBS sizing/decapping die I have in the Classic for a combined .006 deviation.Quote:

Put o-rings on the die between the turret and lockring - Lee dies already have this - and/or A little blue tape on the back edge of the turret head to even things out. The o-ring on the die seems to be a well known trick for any die set to allow the die to float a bit in the head and align itself to the shellplate. Others have reported (on any press) a half seat on the bullet, twist 180 and then full seat to reduce run-out.
If you're that twisted up about loading precision benchrest loads, the Lee turret press is not for you as you're likely to have an arsenal of concentricity gauges, precision benchrest dies, and other precision instruments and unlikely to have purchased a Lee turret press to begin with. :D
I auto-index with the Lee and it works fine. One of them did require a little tweaking of the nut on the rod to properly index. Instructions are included.
Someday I'll grow up and get a Dillon 550B for bulk and probably pick up a Rock Chucker for handloads. For now, the Lee presses fill both roles.

I seriously despise Alex Jones, but some of the links in this one (like this:http://info.publicintelligence.net/U...urbanceOps.pdf) make me scratch my head a bit...

The bells will toll for you!
Deceided to go with a smoked turkey leg and some green beans instead....maybe a sliced apple with peanut butter.
What type of smoke on the leg? Tai, Maui, Indica, sativa...................[ROFL3]Quote:

My rock chucker is what I no longer use. It had some of the runout issues requiring the twist and reseat method you described.Quote:
