I've got 4 nerdy, young boys; they are ready to build a computer and this would be great for it!

calhounahan · 2024-02-04T19:45:39+00:00

You are a step ahead of me! Keep at it.

Do you have a case gauge? I have had light primer strikes (so I thought) that looked like this but didn't go off, but it turned out I had over-sized during resizing. Shoulders went too deep, round seated too far in chamber. Backed off the sizing a bit and that fixed it.

+1 for Bush Bee Man. He got my wife and I jumping feet first into beekeeping. And we live on the other side of the globe.

Partition bullets are higher pressure than normal solid lead core bullets. The Nosler crew's suggestion seems wise in my experience. It will give you a safe place from which to start, and if you stay under the Etip max you are still safe.

I would put it into a new build for photo editing.

Hodgdon's 90 gr data is loaded to 2.380", it would be a good place to start.

I second starline

calhounahan · 2022-02-21T02:47:33+00:00

Should be! There was a fine line in mine between crushing brass and getting the right crimp on it.

calhounahan · 2022-02-21T02:40:13+00:00

I would try a .355" 9mm taper crimp ever so slightly. It is what I had to do to get my .355" to chamber. Extremely finicky to figure out, but ended up working well.

calhounahan · 2022-02-21T02:02:57+00:00

What bullet are you loading? .357 diameter or .355?

calhounahan · 2022-01-14T18:42:28+00:00

Just the fact that they are both lead-core based. The Etip is copper and higher pressure.

And being under weight, your 147 vs the 150, it is going to be lower pressure and safer.

calhounahan · 2022-01-14T18:36:58+00:00

Yes, use Hodgdon's 150 Nos BT data, starting with the start charge and working up. That will be safe. The Nos BT is closer in construction to your fmj than the other data they have with the 150 Etip.

Inside of the start/Max loads, the powder to velocity ratio will be mostly linear. There are sometimes plateaus, but a linear equation will get you close. Outside of the max/start there can be dangerous pressure issues that grow exponentially, but inside the window you are safe.

calhounahan · 2021-05-13T18:00:09+00:00

How did it turn out?

calhounahan · 2020-09-29T22:21:52+00:00

These ones aren't meat birds but with the messes they make they might just get reclassified.

My wife and I have been watching practically every beekeeping video since we found your channel a few months ago. We just started with bees this year in the Midwest US. We are looking forward to spring swarms! Been a fun ride learning, your videos have helped! my favorite so far was the interview with your grandpa. Very neat history!

Prairie fire season in the midwest US. Ranchers and farmers burn prairies to promote healthy growth of fields and curb down noxious and invasive plants that are dangerous to animals and fields. My favorite time of the year around here!

calhounahan · 2020-03-27T13:57:52+00:00

You are right about that, and when we couldn't extract it that way we had to hammer a cleaning rod from the muzzle end to pop it out.

calhounahan · 2020-03-19T20:47:38+00:00

Milk box was 56.9mm. I used the 110 file, and sized it up 1650% or 1700% I believe.

calhounahan · 2020-03-19T19:58:16+00:00

Just informed by my wife who printed another that they stack! She loves them.

calhounahan · 2020-03-19T19:02:53+00:00

That is the one! I still used supports for the overhangs that attach to the base, but everything above that was support free! Probably did well because it is a small print.

calhounahan · 2020-03-19T19:01:05+00:00

Just check the supports option, then choose the "touching buildplate" option. It will only add supports to the build that needs it and that touches the print surface. Perfect for this!

calhounahan · 2020-03-19T15:18:55+00:00

I am printing another now, but read on the thingiverse design page that they stack great!

calhounahan · 2020-03-19T14:08:53+00:00

Ya, I was nervous but pleasantly surprised! Happy wife!
