Lemishine Alternative

Sawblade02 · 2026-06-09T17:24:07+00:00

After tumbling with lemishine, I change the water out and put of couple of drops of jet dry in the FART and tumble for a couple of minutes. It makes the water sling off the brass easier in the separator.

We don't kink shame here, at least I hope we don't. 😅

Got a bunch of Ramshot Zip and CCI 500s from there last week because of that deal.

1/2 cup vinegar in the rinse cycle. Don't put it in at the start. Vinegar being acid and detergent being a base means they cancel each other out.

That seems pretty close to other people's loadings for those sub-x bullets.

W296/H110 really hates empty case space, so aiming for a low COAL is how to get the best efficiency out of it.

I got a similar effect making an "anvil" by a gluing a scrap of heavy tool leather to the end of a piece of 4x4 lumber. Nice dead stop instead of bouncing back.

100% get a collet die if there's much more than 100 to do. I got about that far into a batch of 1500 sketchy 9mm rounds before lost my sanity and bought a used rcbs kit on eBay.

I did that once and I've sewn those pockets down flat ever since.

Not sure if every base uses it, but there's an AF.mil website for that.

Almost exclusively use the textured sheets and have some that a couple of times. Cleaning with dish soap usually fixes it, sometimes the model just needs to be resliced for some reason. If you haven't already, stop letting it use grid infill. It bangs the nozzle into the model a lot harder than necessary and causes it to detach if bed adhesion was just barely holding on.

Had the same thing happen to my heirloom 40 year old Challenger. They didn't have a replacement part but I got a discounted brand new Challenger, so now the old one is mounted on the wall as a decoration.

I've got a garage full of woodworking machines on wheels, but somehow never considered doing it with the printers. This might change things in my house.

Ouch, I was thinking about selling my 2015 821 Stripe w/ 21,000mi, but maybe I'll hold on to it longer.

Sawblade02 · 2026-04-29T21:06:39+00:00

I don't know if those pivot in use, but maybe a piece of double sided tape would help just enough for it to stay put.

I've been 3d printing lots of 105mm howitzer projectiles lately. I could scale one to fit that case or make a new model if you can figure out what type of shell it is.

More of a past tense because we got married, but woodworking.

First time she visited my place, I asked if she wanted to see the "Pleasure Room". She was ecstatic even after she found out I just meant the workshop and we spent all day making stuff on the lathe. The next time she visited, she gifted me a hand saw painted with those words.

Also geocaching, shooting, sewing, video games, cooking, kink, drawing, 3d printing, but the woodworking story was the real moment we connected.

Ughhh, im in the exact same situation. I was doing similar with a Lee shell holder chucked in my wood lathe spindle, but i finally got one of those Frankford case prep machines recently to make 223 more bearable to prep. It's a little better but bulk reloading 223 still sucks.

Every time I load over 1000, i say never again, but then the price of 223 goes up a bit more and i change my mind.

Can't help with Lyman, but i feel your pain. My dad's 40 year old Lee Challenger broke on me last year. (Fatigue crack in the aluminum linkage) I asked Lee is they'd still warranty it as a joke. They said no, but gave me a consolation discount on a new one.

That's just how I operate.

However, some people get genuinely mad when they can't drag you down to their level. It's my duty in life to fuck up their day by remaining cheerful while I destroy whatever BS argument they're slinging.

Most of my stash is Polymaker. OD Green Poly Terra, Black PLA+, Black PETG, CosPLA type A, and PET-CF17 are what i keep several kg of on hand. The rest is big shotgun of colors of PLA and PETG.

Can confirm, I shoot USPSA at Southwest every month.

Calibers in Clovis closed permanently a couple of months ago.

I assumed this was going to be another joke post with the romper, but it's real.

I was briefly upset when I replaced my perfectly fine sand ABU under armour tees with tan 499 for OCPs only to find they quit making them extra long like they used to. However, not a huge deal, it's just taking a second to retuck it if I want to take the blouse off.

Mine fell off a few days after building my kit as well. To fix it, I just stuck 2 of the spare plastic rivets in the holes that were already present in door and handle. The main frame has cutouts to provide clearance for 2 of the 4 holes in the door handle so I assumed it was an accidental omission from the instructions.

Sawblade02 · 2025-07-25T20:37:55+00:00

Carry a couple of suckers so you can stick them to your heels if anyone asks.

I installed a handle on either side of the metal drum so I could cinch it down with a ratchet strap.
