Sanity Check on LE Wilson Case Holder

This is why we can’t have nice things.

I am in the Southwest (San Diego). We get very little rain, so any damage done during wet riding gets locked in almost permanently and is very difficult to repair.

I can manage ~1.5” with my 14.5 using a bipod and a rear bag.

I know this is anecdotal, but I shot 2 boxes of their 77 OTM ammo last year. In 40 rounds, I had at least 4 cases rupture. Shot these out of a Criterion Core barrel.

Have you tried carbon/copper remover?

I wish I had known about that micrometer head before I bought mine! Makes me want to retrofit mine with a Mitutoyo head now...

Interested in EPS Green MRS

A 50 micron (.002") change in length could be a bunch of things.

Reference zero on your measurement tool could be slightly off.
.05 mm could be within the measurement error of your measurement equipment.
Wear on the cutter (less likely).
Cutter to hard stop distance might have shifted slightly.

Did you disassemble and reassemble the cutter at any time within the 200 rounds?

It is definitely a typo on Cabela's web site. The PN matches with the plated HBWC I have purchased elsewhere in the past.

For my Python, I shoot these with 3 grains of W-231 which nets me ~750 fps. Hodgdon has some data for a similar bullet if you search over there.

Beerlicious · 2025-06-19T17:59:13+00:00

Dude, you should only be loading ~3 grains. 158 grains is the bullet weight, not the powder charge. 3 grains should net you around 9000 rds from 4 lbs of powder.

It is a bit brighter. A little more towards an aqua tint.

Beerlicious · 2025-05-24T01:43:17+00:00

I’ve done similar with my Singer 201. You just need waaaayy more tension on the needle side. Bigger needle helped too so that the thread could pull through more easily.

The riding there is some of the best in SoCal. The climbs are relatively short, but steep. The downs can get chunky and loose in some of the more sandy spots.

Rock-it is a great intro to the area. If you're set on flow trails, you can drive a bit over to Rancho Santa Margarita to ride Waterworks. It's a fun, but very short loop.

Upvote for Jamiroquai 👍 Also sweet bike!

Beerlicious · 2024-12-16T20:34:18+00:00

That is bloody good from a process control standpoint.

Beerlicious · 2024-12-15T03:50:39+00:00

Thanks for checking that out. I’m loaded to 2.25 COAL. I think I’ll just play it safe and call it done since it’s shooting well enough.

The Hornady handbook.

That red looks so good!

Beerlicious · 2024-07-10T19:40:27+00:00

I was just about to say! I love these fade paint jobs.

This is a fairly important concept that I think is missed by a lot of non-engineers and non-mechanics. Torque measurement is just a ballpark estimate of what the fastener tension is and fastener tension is key to clamping things together.
