After seeing Norbs007's video I really wish I had taken the time to get some video shot. I brought my camera but totally forgot about it sitting in the bottom of my bag on match day

Did you shoot the match Raymond? I didn't see you there, I wanted to bend your ear a little about shotgun reloading after having seen your youtube vids on it. You get any video of yourself?

[RaymondMillbrae]

No, Greg...I was not able to make the match that Sunday. (Other committments).

But I was there until 1730-hours on Saturday setting everything up for yall.

I will be shooting the Golden Bullet at the end of July, and I am frequently there on Saturdays.

If I make a match, rest assured there is a 95% probability that I am taping myself...and will share the videos with yall.

Yup, sure will be nice to see more action shooting videos here. Nice to have one of those HD camcorders, I'm just glad the iPhone can take decent enough videos. The video link under my signature were from the iPhone.

@Raymond, dude you seem very handy with tools. I've been wanting to install a rear sight on my Benelli. Willing to do some gunsmithing work? Thanks

[RaymondMillbrae]

Norbs007,

I'm no gunsmith, but I am pretty decent with my hands.

Drop me a line sometime, and we can go from there.

I am working tonight, Wednesday night - but then I will be on vacation until Tuesday the 6th of July. (A whole 6 days of doing nothing)!

Woke up this morning and finished reloading a few thousand rounds of .223 and .45...so I am currently a happy camper. Gonna tackle some 10mm and .357 later today...or possibly Thursday.

In Christ: Raymond

Sweet! I need to do some .223 for BARC myself. Just hate to change my reloader right now. Thanks man.
Those bottles and cans looks exactly what I have on my bench, I'm out of One Shot though Even that Emerson knife?

Oh, sorry for the thread drift... back on topic.

[RaymondMillbrae]

The One Shot has been sitting there for a few years now. I tried it when I was on my serach for a better lube.

I am pretty much an IMPERIAL SIZING DIE WAX guy now.

I swear by the stuff, and have never had a "bubble crunch" on a .223 shell, nor have I ever had a case stuck in the sizing die. (Pistol or rifle).

As for the knife, someone gave it to me. I believe it is a Smith & Wesson knife. Personally, there are only a few knives that I feel comfortable carrying for EDC. (Every Day Carry). COLD STEEL is one brand (only Tanto tips!), and the CRKT RINGED RAZEL is the other.




Both manufacturers blades are great, and both will hold a good edge. I like keeping my knives sharp, and those puppies can both "POP" a hair off your arm when freshly sharpened. Not "shave hair"...but POP hair.

I use and trash the heck out of my EDC knives. For the money, the quality is great for an every day trasher.

I have other fixed blades, but the above three are always with me. Catch me at the range sometime, and see which one I have on hand.

And now back to our regularly scheduled SHOTGUN MATCH THREAD.

Dillons lanolin based spray lube is the shiznit for sizing rifle brass in bulk. Works just as well as Imperial wax and is way, way faster to use. Never had a stuck or dented case with it unlike the Hornady one-shot (which was a total one-shot for me too, lol).

[RaymondMillbrae]

...unlike the Hornady one-shot (which was a total one-shot for me too, lol).

Ha ha ha.

One shot is good for pistol brass.. I like to use it for 40 and 9 mm brass loading, for the 38 spl, I don't need it since the cases are Nickel plated..

[michaels]

I got tired of paying around 9 bucks for the one shot spray...setup a new tumbler, filled with rice hulls and added some spray on car wax from walley world, about 4 bucks for 26oz bottle. Let it spin for 20 minutes and brass is so slippery you have a hard time holding it in a handful. So far the batch of rice hulls in the tumbler has lasted for about 4k of brass and the hulls look like they'll go another 4k before it's time to toss them. I'm going to run all the already clean brass back through this as time permits. I've noticed the brass glides in and out of the dies much better now. The rice hulls are really cheap and if the BP oil spill makes it to my place, I'm covered for the clean up...

Shooting at a Polish plate rack leaning back on your weak side behind a barricade is no small feat.

Stage 1

Forgot that the black plates were hard covers... tsk tsk tsk.
