My Bone Head move of the day

[Eric Musgrove]

Thought I would share my mistake of the week. In case anyone else had dueling rock chucker's set up and using the lock rings on their dies. I apparently forgot that when I set the seating die up for OAL and locked the ring down that it was in the press on the right. Yesterday when I treaded it into the press on the left and seated the first bullet I got a new wiz bang cartridge that headspaces off the front disk! Reminds me of Aircraft photo's breaking the speed of sound. The newer (not as good) RC II is about 1.5 turns off on die adjustment from the older style. One more thing to mark down and document.

Youre good just use a mallet to hammer that bolt closed

 

[akdad]

A new Widlcat Cartridge with extreme shoulder.
Ackley Improved as got nothing on you!!!

We have about 5 RC presses that we use and use Whidden Lock Rings. Each press is used for a different function so I don't mix things up.

My rock chucker on the right sizes, one on the left is a bullet seater....my redneck method.

 

[Korhil78]

Haha it looks like it is shedding its former self to a sleeker newer design.

I wish I could say that I've never seen a cartridge emerge from a die looking like that but I can't...

Freshly annealed brass with a donut in the neck. Smashed my 280AI just like that seating a bullet.
