I agree. It sucks to check every piece of brass though, every time. So if I do trim my cases, I trim to the middle of the salami spec. For 357 sig the max is .865”. So only a few are actually over length. I’m going to run an experiment to find out how much they grow each firing, if any. 357 sig max pressure I believe is 40ksi so it’s getting into rifle pressures.

The lee press should work. Not all 6.5 brass will work. Make sure to use hornady 6.5 or winchester 308. You’ll have to bottom out the die on the shell holder. It will be just at the Sheridan’s max using lee shell holders and lee dies. After fire forming it will be easier. Make sure to use imperial wax or lee lube. Sorry for being so late

Thanks for watching and lee should be able to fix ur die for 15 or u can drill and tap the case out. Sorry to hear about the press. we all do it and have to learn the hard way 🙁

What load are you trying to use? For 330gr cast hollow points, like in this video, I like a light charge of Imr 4227. I’ve switched to buying Boudreas bullets. 405gr cast. They are cheap and currently in stock, .32c/piece . Imr 4227, 27gr, 2.04” (for info only, please work up your own load to ensure safety)

Yea, i spent all day one day reading the forums to find out that. And q’s loads are a little hot. Ppl also recommended certain trimmers, i already forget. Dont know if it was km? Reamers. And kissing the shoulder. Carbide pilot on the trimmer. I also saw some ppl got away with pushing the speer hot cor 225s to max loads, bit im weary bc these tech arent bonded and would ruin my linear comp/ brake. I ended up bluing a cart for contact and the bullet is seated too far out. I bumped back and they fit the gauge. I might try these for fire forming bc i dont have a neck trimmer or reamer yet. Thanks for the tips and happy loading

@@allthingsconsidered3211 I only use copper monolithic bullets. I'm primarily interested in hunting though, so have specific needs. I'm looking at standardizing on either Barnes 210 grain TTSX or Hornady CX 225 grain. I have subsonic for home defense though. Pity an intruder...If the suppressor law is overturned I would hunt with subsonic using a suppressor.

Quickloads is a program that can calculate the pressure at the muzzle for you for any given cartridge. This will give you a general idea of how loud a certain cartridge/load is.

I have heard that too. Also lead gasses can come back too. Shooting a cmmg 22 conversion kit in a 556 could do the same thing bc most 22 are lubed lead. I however have never had an issue or heard of someones tube getting clogged.

Yeah, ive found most 308 have too thick of a neck after forming onto 8.6. But found win brand, win308 is just thin enough to not req neck turning. The brass usually gets thicker from the neck to shoulder to web to case head. With 308 your “new” neck is formed lower on the case where the brass wall is thicker.

@@allthingsconsidered3211 I broke an RCBS summit press handle resizing Lake City 308 Match brass. XLNT brass, but I was laying into it with full weight...SNAP, the small thread popped off. RCBS sent me a replacement, to their credit.

I must be doing something wrong. I can not even get the Hornady brass to reform to 8.6. Using Lee press and dies. Shoulder will not compress

Yes 308 win by winchester has a thin enough wall to req no neck turning. If you dont anneal or size twice, any case is gunna be a tight fit. Maybe bc the brass is stiff and springs back

Winchester 308 brass worked but only about 50% of them worked without neck turning. Going to grab some hornady 6.5 brass to continue making some more 8.6 brass.

Yes. Ive tried federal, fiocci, and barnes 308 The only 308 case that ive seen that doesnt need neck turning is winchester win 308

Bew and old hornady 308 does not fit the case guage either

@@allthingsconsidered3211 I tried resizing some Lake City 308 Match brass and couldn't press it down, the neck was too thick. Currently I cut Hornady 6.5cm down close to the shoulder and push the expander through the neck before pressing.

So sounds like LC 308 is a no go? Thanks. The hornady 6.5 and winchester brand 308 win function with Speer hot cors 225s loaded deep to 2.5”

Hey sammy, the 9 and 40 kit shpild be the same bc the xd 9 and xd 40 frame are the same. i still have my advantage arms 940 conversion kit. I think they call if the 940 because it is for the 9mm and 40sw models. I still shoot it on occasion. It is picky with ammo and likes high velocity. 1250 fps+. It doesnt like too much oil or being dirty after 200 rounds. But overall a great conversion kit

Thats what its for. This video was a while ago, i dont remember the load, so if you have questions feel free to ask. The cast 300+gr hollow point loads i have still run the action. But werent the most accurate so ill be redoing them.

Of course. Any press works. A note tho: I think the cast bullets is a lot of work for plinkers now that berrys came out with some.

You are right. I misspeak multiple times calling it 20 30 thousands in this video. Thanks for catching. For others: Invisible/scotch Tape is about 2 thou or .002” per layer. Most headspace specs allow for .010” from min to max. (You should look it up for the caliber in use) Min is “go gauge” + .000” “No go guage” @ +.004” “Field gauge” @+.010” You can stack the layers of tape and measure the overall increase in length. 2-3 layers on a go gauge usually makes a no go gauge. I like using a go gauge to measure headspace as well. I recommend removing the ejector and extractor and using a blue sharpie/bluing on the shoulder, not top, of the go gauge. By Adding layers, and checking for rubb off marks/interference. Hopefully this helps ppl out and save money. Hope you have a great day.

Thanks for such kind words! Beautiful roo in ur profile pic

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWGZhKCHmr-Sfa8 This is part of modifying an ac unit into a walk in fridge or wine cellar These are just resistors and a switch. Check the video out if youd like to learn more! Thanks for watching and commenting

It is a dewalt drill model dw995 and a portercable battery pack model pcc680L . If you look into the bottom of your drill where the batter pack is inserted, You want to look for the blade connectors, there should be 2. If there are more than 2, you can run into issues with electronics and it wont work without further mods. (Over temp sensor, balancing)

Sorry for the late reply

brother you are great and humble thaaaaaaank @@allthingsconsidered3211

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks @@allthingsconsidered3211

I agree thanks for mentioning it, i usually wear one or my respirator

Wow thats alot. You could teach me some things with 80. I just got my first roo. Hes coming up on a year old now. 12 hens. Do you add any supplements like alphaha cubes, flock raiser, dog food? Mine free range prob 5 days/week and are cooped with a run for the other 2 or more. What about feeding treats/scratch? Meal worms? I just have one hen who used to love the crumble, kids used call her fat fat, but now she refuses the whole grain feed and is thin and stopped laying. (Swtiched to a mix of flock raiser and the whole grain 50/50, cleaned the coop spotless and added a small light, laying again now) So what do you think it was, she just being picky(others slowed too), artificial light, or dirty coop? Thx. Only had my chickens for 2 years now and the pullets laid well throughout everything. Thx for commenting and watching the vid!
