There are many reasons not to and few reasons to go this way. I realize with all the shortages we sometime need to substitute but in this case as mentioned, changes in primer pocket alterations may render the cases unusable if you need to go back to regular pistol primers. Also pistol primer...

I saw this video and thought I would share because over the years I have seen what happens when primers are not stored correctly or when using a priming magazine or tube and a primer goes off with multiple primers In the path of another If one goes off. I realize that most of these accidents...

When neck turning, I like to use the carbide mandrels to turn on because they will fit best and still turn when they are very tight. (Not to tight) for sizing the necks the nitride ones do fine and don't cost as much. I have not found any wearing down of these mandrels ether. The ones I make...

.001 thousandths. If i need one with less than .001 I just make my own. J E CUSTOM

I went through 2 lathes before I finally bough one that could do the job and whished I had bought a good one in the first place. The one I bought has been a good one and didn't cost an arm and a leg. at the time the grizzly's cost more than I could afford or I would have bought the one I...

If I have a load that would be compressed, I like/prefer to use it instead of breaking the granules. It also helps when certain powders that are used should not be compressed. Many of the straight wall cases can bulge if compressed very much and not chamber well. I got in touch with Harrell's...

This has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen, PLEASE DON"T TRY THINGS LIKE THIS !!!! I Once witnessed something almost as stupid as this when a man said that he could hit the primer on a 12 gauge shotgun shell with a BB gun at 10 yards. After giving him plenty of room and many warnings...

There will always be different opinions on barrel wall thickness and the minimum I recommend is .150 thickness for each barrel wall. the easy way to find out is to add bore diameter to barrel diameter and if the barrel diameter is less than .300 thousandths larger than the bore diameter then it...

First time I have ever seen a hog get struck by a rattle snake. Interesting . J E CUSTOM

The only time I have weighed a canister of powder was to see If I could complete a load batch rather than run out during loading. If you have an empty container of the same brand you can weigh it and subtract the weight from the one you want to weigh. It should weigh 7,000 grains + the...

I have bought 28" AR barrels from Krieger threaded and/or chambered with the gas port drilled and located. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call to see if 30 + is possible. The 28'' that I have is very long overall because of the action length so Keep that In mind. I would also recommend a heavy...
