    I thought this machine would be tied to my toe and dragging me to the bottom of a lake when I go to meet my maker but life throws some awesome curveballs sometimes and I have decided to move this on.
    South Bend Heavy 10
    In great shape. L-00 spindle. Pics tell the story better than I ever will so be sure to look them over.
    Machine includes:
    Metric change gears
    5hp rotary phase converter
    6” 4 jaw and 10” 3 jaw chucks
    Taper attachment
    Steady and follow rest
    Backplates
    2 collet systems
    Tool post grinder
    Micrometer carriage stop
    Metric change gears

    Machine is located in Bergen County, NJ by Paramus.

    Will supervise loading if it needs to be transported. Will happily razz you if you decide to move it on your own. I did it and it’s not horrible. Weight is 1100 pounds +/-.

    SOLD
    Drop a line if interested and have questions. I will entertain partial trade offers but am looking primarily for cash.
    All offers via PM please.

    PM with a cell phone number or email if you are seriously interested and would like pics.  Can demonstrate under power.

    has...well had......xs sights on it. front sight is dovetailed into a bit of a riser on the barrel. it fell off. picked up a trijicon front sight for it. i know how to put it in.....sorta. but....how do i put it in and ensure that it won't fall off again? is there a way to stake these when installed? or possibly locktite?

    Red loctite will serve you well.

    So, I cast about 500 rounds of 45ACP LSWC from a H&G #68 Mold on Sat AM.

    Now I would typically put these through a Star Lube Sizer - and when I shoot them - it would be smoky and messy due to the lube shoot off and the pistol would be more dirty than normal (i.e.: Ball)

    This time, I powder coated them - toaster oven 350 15 min - they came out very nice.

    All I can say, is after putting about 150 rounds through the pistol, I noticed no ill affects using the power coated bullets, no noticeable accuracy degradation etc. - however, the shots - clean, no 'lube smoke' - minor fouling - literally bore snake and crystal clean bore, other fouling chamber and other areas - minor.  If this was shot with standard old school cast and lubed, the gun would have been a mess and needing an immediate detail cleaning....

    Essentially, I may never go back to standard lube and will look to shoot PC Heads.....

     

    YMMV

     

    I'm a fan.  I shoot from a local company.  Great product and reasonable pricing.  

    They work great.

    Good for you.  And welcome aboard.  

    I started out wanting just one pistol.  I'm now in the middle of redoing my garage so I can continue playing with firearms on my lathe and milling machine.  So yeah, it goes that way.

    Btw.  There is no way to get a squib load at 5 grs even if you’re .1 gr off.  Sorry buddy.  Bad advice.  You could have 1 gr and it would def clear the barrel. Fyi

    Gee, thanks for clearing that up.  I hope you feel really good about yourself.  

    So smart.

     

    GFY.

    That is a really neat method, I'll have to try it when I start reloading for my bolt action. Is there a way to translate that method to a semi auto action?   The video above it about die size was pretty interesting too.

    Yeah man.
    Pop the bolt out of the BCG.  Pull the extractor/ejector.  Git'er done.  Easier with the barrel pulled as well but I'm sure it can be done in the receiver as well, with some cussing.

    I've been down this rabbit hole along with a couple of my friends, despite my warnings.  

    Unless you're shooting competitively or are very knowledgeable about reloading I would warn you away from things like the Ogive Comparator.  It introduces a variable that is just not that important to guys that are simply shooting paper, casually, at 300 yards.  There are plenty of ways to find out if your ammo is gonna fit with the most important being; it chambers.  

    It's kind of like getting a borescope.  You want to find a good deal on a perfectly fine used barrel?  Find a guy that just bought a borescope.   It's information overload.

    I had all the tools and have since sold them off as they were taking the enjoyment of simply reloading ammo that shoots well and works away from me.  I have a press, a Chargemaster, and the necessary components.  Nothing more as it's just not necessary to what I do.  If I was to get back in to competitive shooting, I'd probably try to get the FX auto trickler.  That's about as far as I'd go.  

    Good luck with whatever you decide to work up.
