That’s unfortunate. A machine shop has leftover material from a bullet trap. It’s why the deal is so good.

I have an opportunity to make a steel target from AR400 3/8 plate. The price can’t be beat or I’d go thicker. We won’t be shooting anything bigger than a 338 Lapua at it. Any thoughts how far my minimum distance to target should be to avoid a very expensive sieve? I know little about this...

The replacement showed up in the mail today. The new plate is a little bit harder based on running a file across the edge but still not as hard as the ones that are made of spring steel with a blue on them. The thickness of the one I replaced and the one I got from eBay are one thousandth of an...

Just an update. I have yet to hear back with an email, tracking number, or anything from Forster. I called this evening and was prompted to leave a voice mail. On a side note, I received the new one I ordered from a seller on ebay and it is blued spring steel. Very hard and rigid. The one that...

I'm glad to hear your boy scored on one. I met him Saturday between setups. Sure was foggy Monday. It's nice living close to the heard.

The guy I spoke with said they were made by stamping, in a past tense, which makes me think they may not be such now. It measures .034" on the micrometer which is kind of an odd number but its uniform on all four corners about 3/8" in from the edge.

Just got off the phone with Forster. The gentleman is sending me a new one with a return envelop to send the damaged one back for evaluation. I asked for feedback once they receive it and know what may have happened and he agreed to do a follow up. He said they have been unable to get the...

I run an expander mandrel in all of my casings and seating is typically easy. This plate is very malliable which i also find upsetting. I can easily twist and bend it with my fingers. I was playing with it a moment ago since I've concluded it is ruined at this point. Also I don't crimp.

yeah they are $6 but I can only find them at Grafs and they charge $13 S&H which is awesome when buying bullets, but sucks for this purpose.

I plan to reach out to them tomorrow. I'm pretty disappointed in this after all the hype and waiting to get my hands on one of these.

I’m referring to the plate under that. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1022410657?pid=673456

I adjust my die down only enough to bump the shoulder .001-.0015” so that shouldn’t be a factor I would think.

I bought a new Co-Ax about 6 months ago and the wear plate under the shell holder is all buggered up with indentations from sizing. Is this a normal thing with only 1500 or so rounds? I didn't think much of it until I smashed a case neck into the end of the expander because the case was leaning...

I have the Hornady Lock N Load powder measure and I like it, but I'm tired of having to double charge my bigger cartridges. I know I can buy the High Cap kit but it's almost $100 so I am leaning towards a new (not auto charging) measure that comes able to run charges from handgun size charges to...
