Pneumatic slaughter gun / stun gun used in slaughter-houses. But 1" stroke for a 1" jacket is a tad on the long side ...

Gentlemen, Thank you for all the above information and your patience in understanding my poor English. I fairly understand what I would call a "final result" in your explanation about irrelevant measurements and cored jacket staying in the die and all the "classics". I will be a beginner in...

Thank you Mr. Ulrich, I understand there is no absolute accurate answer, too many variables here. But once the right core seating punch is selected, just to have an idea about it, is it close to 1/10" or close to 1/25" or what ?

OK Gents, please forgive my poor English. Gonna try to ask in other words. So, considering core seating , Place a jacket fitted with a core on the punch. Gently pull the press lever until you feel a first contact, aka jacket base on one side and un-seated core on the other side are making...

Considering a .30 cal bullet in the 118 / 124 grains range built on a J4 1" jacket, what is your ram stroke in between : - just making contact on the uncompressed core, - core properly seated. I understand that stroke will change depending on core OD, jacket mouth angle, lead bleed, but I...

I agree with the idea of some necessary tuning-up when I change primer lot (most usually FederalMatch). Let me explain something I am doing at case prep, in relation to primer variation. Maybe I will appear totally wrong to experts here, but please teach me. To keep the effect of a change in...

Thanks Bill.

Glenn, Thanks for the link. In center and northern of France, we have a very few people hunting boars with spears. They use plenty of dogs to cap the boar, and then they come to kill it with the spear. But they have no wolves over there. Here we have them for some years now, and the boar...

Hi Glenn, I am located a litttle North-East from Marseille in between Sainte-Victoire and Sainte-Baume mountains. Here I hunt, on Mont-Aurelien. Regarding Texas and "flying contractors", I think they are more on feral pigs culling than what we are calling Wild Boar here. The latin name of our...

I use to hunt big trophy wild boars in the 200 pounds in south of France. This is silent stalking, puffing flour to check wind direction, with .308W shot taken from 5 to 150 yards. Those beast are heavily armored with thick skin and 2" of very hard fat from neck to mid chest (often found 00...

I agree with Steve on that one. Under this angle of view, primers appear full flat, and furthermore, it seems to me that some bolt face machining got inprinted onto the case head. (or primer pocket cleaning tool imprint ???) Before going to bushing I would : check the inprints on case head...

Considering new brass and tight neck chamber, My first step is to push the shoulder down min 0.5 mm MAX 1mm (sorry, I am metric 0.019" - 0.039") Rough cut or rough trim to length if needed. Deburr. Mandrel the neck with the mandrel that will be use to neck turn later. This will push any...

graphite "IN" it ??? I was in the ammunition business from 1989 to 1992. As a manufacturer, we were working closely with a French powder manufacturer named SNPE and purchasing powders by tons each year to load from .25 ACP to .50 Browning. Flakes, spherical, compressed spherical, tubular...

change in the cap = > cap tightening problem => damaged powder Got a problem a few month ago with a N140 1 kg bottle with the new cap size (and color). It appears that powder granules at the top of the content were not grey but more or less marroon / brownish. 1" deeper in the bottle, no brown...
