explains a lot 😁

I guessed that from the likely dimensions but in what world does 'fow' get used instead of 'thou' . I've been in engineering for all my working life and that's a new one on me ! 😁

what's 'fow' ?

I had this with .338 cases and followed your advice to make a tool to measure precisely up from the head. Small base die sorted it.

It would seem to me that each increment of bumping has had the effect of turning the shoulder without reshaping the taper and work hardened the shoulder area. If it was my brass I'd be inclined to anneal and fire form it back to the correct shape, I can't see a hazard from doing that. Maybe your annealing process isn't actually doing enough to de-stress the brass at the shoulder and it's become work hardened so springing back?

I've been made aware that Pyrodex has been reclassified as UN0499/UN0501 and therefore can only be sold to, and kept by, someone with the properly endorsed Explosives License. I'm in the process of getting the codes added to my EL for black powder (UN0027/UN0028) It is unclear as to whether its category as H3 has been changed to H1 so the need for special storage (as per black powder) is not yet clear. I'm waiting on advice from our FEO in Staffs. It's a pity that such changes get made without seemingly any attempt by the manufacturer or importer to advise RFD or consumers.

I saw them in the brief "Hawklord" days at the Victoria Hall in Stoke. SO LOUD! I couldn't here anything for two days. Still enjoy a sneaky listen to "In Search of Space".....

Greeny - Utterly brilliant. It needs to be remembered that a lot of early electric blues was played without the advantages of many electronic gizmos available for the last +30 years. The guitar sustain on "The Super-Natural" is just pure managed feedback, fabulous. BB King thought Peter Green the best British blues guitarist of all - better than Slow-hand Clapton. I concur 😊

Settings>units ?

Can we have some pictures of it please?

It's meant to be like that, normal for a turning tool. May I ask why you feel the need for turned necks ? Do you use variable brass as I've always found Lapua to be nominal across a batch

plus one for cheese board, my one is marble

I'd say the most important thing is a good reloading manual and/or attend a course. The Lyman manual is excellent.

EGR & Carb Cleaner - it works to decoke engines and muzzle brakes

CLR is lactic acid plus another ingredient. That's correct, Zep is phosphoric acid - same as in rust converter. I've used Holts de-coke spray, it attacks the carbon so you can just wipe it off
