Some real grungy brass turned to Bling
It's called Lemishine -- I get it at target -- usually in with the dishwashing detergent -- There is a liquid and a crystal lemishine -- you want the crystal

From bad to worse.....story of a squib and a plea for help!
How about picking at the wood dowel with a pair of forceps from the muzzle -- Get as much splintered wood out of there that you can. Maybe you could then get a screw into the dowel and pul it out. I would definitely work on that dowel before trying to push that bullet all the way thru the barrel -- NO liquid on the wood -- don't want it to soften and swell

No real reason too run it separate -- just run a normal load everything will get clean

OBRAMS December 21,2013 - Rimfire Tactical Precision Match
Right up my alley -- I'm in since this isn't run and gun do we have an age limit like the regular OBRAMS I guess I'm asking if Jake can shoot?

Out of season it's probably on sale too... Are the holes big enough to let the media fall thru easily?

Anyone know where to find CCI Large Pistol Primers
I'll switch if I'm forced -- Been with CCI for a long time -- never a compromised primer and all my loads are worked with cci primers Besides -- How much $$ are Tula and where are they available in Large Pistol -- I haven't seen much in LPP anywhere for realistic pricing

Anyone know where to find CCI Large Pistol Primers
Ken -- Cheyane is far for me -- especially to pay near $40 per K -- I'm meeting a guy at OBRPC on sunday who has an unopened case of 5000 Price isn't great but it's better than $40 per -- Now before this gets out of hand I don't blame the guy I'm buying from for the price -- He's right where everyone else is and it's probably near what they cost him I just hate the fact, as a reloader for over 20 years, that we are all forced to pay these silly prices for components -- I'll do it to keep going, but I don't like it

Osha to inspect ranges
Wow -- shouldn't be too hard to find lead -- question is what would be considered a toxic level

Just get an orange vest -- no need to invest in new hunting clothes -- Vest should be less that $10

What causes a squib?
I would doubt it was wet -- I was thinking the brass was tumbled a few days before loading -- Even then I've never taken more then 24 hours to dry I would have to think the wet, pasty powder would have been evident too Operator error -- sounds like it's this simple -- no need to over-think it
-
What causes a squib?
Interesting thought -- Does not apply here but still interesting -- Would a piece of nutshell or corncob be enough to stop the powder from igniting upon primer detonation? Reason it does not apply is Mike tumbles wet with stainless media -- no dry media to get stuck in the flash hole This does bring up another thought -- Mike Is it possible that the case was a little wet inside? Inside the case where it would just get to the powder and not affect the primer I would have to imagine that the wet, un-burt powder, would have been obvious between the case and the bullet -- The barrel became a sealed container -- powder would have been in there The primer had to detonate --- What else would push the bullet into the barrel?

1911 smith in Old Bridge, Marlboro area?
Shouldn't be that difficult -- I've got a book with the proper fitting instructions if you'd like to go at it yourself -- welcome to borrow it along with the files if you need
-
What causes a squib?
My point is there probably isn't a remedy -- He missed a powder charge while making a special run of bullets for the chrono This wasn't while he was making bulk ammo -- he knows he has to have powder in the case -- one got by -- The only real remedy is be more careful which he already knows Now, if he has a run of squibs then something needs fixing...
-
What causes a squib?
It's gonna be hard to tell what caused it -- Most likely a lack of powder -- The pulled bullet and empty case will still be black with residue even on just a primer Don't sweat it Mike -- use it as a learning experience and move on -- It really doesn't matter what caused it -- your still going to reload ammo and your still going to be careful -- just consider it operator error

Shotgun Shootout! November 17th at Clinton WMA
Anyone know what the Hunter Ed class hours are? I really need to sight in a slug gun and don't want to drive all the way out to OBRPC if I'm already going to be at Clinton--
