Cactus Jack: When I was welding for a living, I used duel segment lenses, bifocal on the top and on the bottom, as I did a lot of close overhead work. I’m sure you you could get the bifocal on just the top if you thought that would work.

I haven’t seen one since I was a kid. I is an alcohol blow torch. They worked fair if you didn’t need a lot of heat. The cotton absorbed the alcohol like a cigarette lighter and heated the pipe with the small orffice causing pressurized air to carburtate (?)the flame off the larger burner tube...

I worked in a factory where steel pipe was used for primary air line. Not good! Rust was a real problem, and it plugged offices and solenoids. The air was compressed with a screw 35 hp compressor and refrigeration dryer. SS pipe is probably best if you can find it reasonably priced.

One might try A little Mystic Metal Mover. It work well for me on bound up fittings.

Maybe because that is the first wear point the copper on the bullet contacts. As the bullet goes down the barrel the contact points have worn the copper off from the hard contact at the beginning of its trip down the barrel. Make sense? Some people use a nylon brush and scrub back and forth at...

We have a guy here that uses a cargo trailer as his range reloading location. I on the other hand do my loads at home and drive the 4-4 miles each time. Outdoor reloading I think puts too many uncontrolled variables in the picture.

I started with a LEE single stage kit years ago, and served me well. I added a vibrator cleaner. So, at todays prices, just look up these two items and containers foe finished cartridges. I would think $500 would cover all equipment. I was making reloads far cheaper than purchased ammo. I now...

I dry with a large sieve and a hair drier. I takes about 2 minutes for 50-100 rounds. They get hot, so careful. I then spread them out on a towel or in the case of bottle necks, put them in a media separator (tumbler) to get any pins held inside by the water to fall out. Sure cut my time down.

I have a .22LR Savage about 6 months old and it has about a 1000 rounds on it. The trigger is 1 1/4 lb and breaks well. I hope yours was an isolated issue😉.

I also have a Savage .22LR and really like the Accu-trigger, with a 1 1/4 lb break. Probably 1000+ rounds.

Looking at a Savage 110 precision. What discouraged you with your buddies purchase?

From my research, the fire rating is: X degrees for X amount of time until paper will combust inside the safe. Same information from several safe manufactures. The rating should be posted somewhere on the door.
