I ordered the annealer and the case trimmer today. I also odered all the adapters I would need to do all the calibers I reload. There is a 12 week wait from Geraud. That SUCKS! I will wait though. Ill let everyone know how it all works out when I get it. Thanks Ken

The hydraulic fan is not unique to dodge. I would not try to use an electric fan in its place for the simple reason that there is no electric fan that can move as much air as the hydraulic one. That solenoid can be tested with a simple volt ohm meter. It is just an electromagnet that pulls a plunger inside a steel stem to let fluid flow. You could probably find all the info you need by looking up "electric over hydraulic control" on Google. The stem under the solenoid can fail by getting stuck. I am not 100 percent positive about Dodge but on hydraulic equipment when they get stuck in the middle the overpressure releif valve will stop lines from blowing. You can probably take the stem out and verify that the piston in it moves. If it appears to be jammed up start looking for hydraulic shops and you may be able to find one. Ken

I think throwing it over the wall only works with a live round. There is only one sure way to find out though! Ken

He does not even live in NJ anymore. His beef is with one particular individual, not the forum as a whole. Because of a riffle caliber reference he is guilty? You of all people should know better than to pass judgement based on what you think you know. Ken

My experience with the aquila ammo is mixed at best. The super high velocity (1500fps) rounds are crap. Their standard 22lr is decent but does have a weird smell to it. I can say that every round chambered, extracted, and went bang wich is more than I can say about golden bullets. Personally, I am just going to keep shopping around for CCI's and Winchester Super X. I collect ammo for a few weeks and then take a break so that I always have a brick to take to the range. Ken

Dam.. I must be tired! HAHA! I totally took that wrong. My Bad! Ken

OK, just posting FAIL with no comment is not really making your case. Ken

Its obviously not that simple. You got the wrong guy. I was just talking to urban grunt Ken

I just went through every ammo source I have and came up with nothing... It looks like its gonna be a roll your own or buy another rifle type of thing here. Best of Luck Ken

Here is the post about online retailers. Hope ya find what you need. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/23968-online-ammunition-retailers-that-will-ship-to-new-jersey/ Ken

I have learned a few tricks alredy from searching the net. I ordered a complete second cutter head so I can set one up for 22 cal and the other for 30 cal. If you had to re-set the cutter between calibers you will spend a lot of time and wreck a lot of brass. One thing a few people on a few forums suggested is using Hornady locking die rings on the cartridge adapter so that once it is set properly it stays set when removed. I think a caliber changeover can be done in a matter of minutes this way once they are all set up properly for the first time. Ken

I have come to like my Chrony F1. I honestly have not tried any others because this one does what I need it to. Good Luck Ken

I absolutely love your name! as the parent if a three year old I have come to love despicable me! I contemplated using the Dillon trimmer with my single stage setup. The only reason I went with Giraud is that I load a lot of flat bottom bullets in .223. The chamfer is important here and Giraud does it all in one step. If that was not as important, I probably would have gone with the Dillon unit. Ken

I absolutely love this whole album. They did a good job with the cover. Ken

..

Thats the plan! Kenny

I cant find it a home rite now. If I see someone have a need for the oven Ill shoot you a PM Ken

What I think Im going to do is get the machine setup for 223 and then get a 308 insert and a second blade setup for 30cal. I cant do 2 trimmers because I think I am also going to buy the case anealing machine. I am getting a lot of soot on cartridge necks and a lot of splitting case necks. I have concluded thaqt this is due to work hardening. I also do every step on a rock chucker for the same reasons mentioned above. Thanks Ken

Anyone use one of these? http://www.giraudtool.com/prod02.htm They are expensive but fast. I have tried almost every trimmer there s now and I have probably spent more than the asking price for the Giruad. Im basically looking for someone who has one to tell me if its a pain in the butt to change from 22 cal to 30 cal. There is no way ill buy 2 of these! Ken

A red right turn arrow is a dirty trick. You are not allowed to make the right against the red arrow. I work on traffic lights and have seen this only a couple of times. The proper way to do it is to install a "no turn on red" blackout sign (the type you cant read when its not on). Typically these would only exist on a complicated intersection or a five pointed intersection so they are often overlooked in day to day driving. You can go to court to plea the ticket down to a non point violation but I really dont think you can beat it. Good Luck Ken

Thats the exact same reason I stopped using it. Ken

Im with you PB. I am a step more untrusting even. I wont order from anyone that wants to see only my FID either. I am also running out of people that I can order from too. I may have to reevaluate my position soon, Ken

When in doubt, go light. But not so light as to cause a bore obstruction! Ken

LMFAO! Now I gotta go back and re read that thread. Oh the stupidity! Ken

Thats only because nobody can afford to shoot rite now! I have noticed that it has been quiet around there lately. It will pick up a little now that summer is over and then die off altogether until spring. If you want to see really weird/quiet go to the indoor range at 2am. Its almost creepy. Ken
