I haven’t had much time to play with this, built the electronics part, did the programming and threw together the mechanical parts months ago. It’s still a long way from being a finished product but it’s also one of those projects that can get lost do to “life getting in the way” if I...

I built a machine that will decap and sort 45 ACP by primer pocket size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJgU3-OXuUU

I have never ordered from them but would now. I cast and coat my own and don't treat myself that well.

In use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssw-AbNH7N4

There are reasons to own various dies but if being able to simply accurately set and adjust depth from one position to another you can save a lot of money making a "beginners level" tool vs buying a special die. All it does is hold an indicator off a surface, as long as you don't move it it...

Shooting with a buddy awhile back I was reviewing data on my old shooting chrony and he wanted to know what "hack" I had done in order to make it give high, low, average, ES, SD and review all the shots. He was kind of upset that is was just a plug and momentary push button away, all the years...

The one a week and a half ago?

Well, the doctors didn't kill me last week and I got tired of laying and sitting so I did a few minutes of resting out in the shop today. Not a big project but an easy one I had been intending to do when I had a few min. It's just a 3/16 rod with a .100" bearing embedded into one end that can...

In their first life the aluminum blocks were used along with a fixture to duplicate the FIA approved roll cages in F430's but with materials that were SCCA approved. I almost never throw anything away that I could "recycle" including the left side cage shim, in this case.

I think I am about there. The best 10 second, 10 shot 100yd group I have fired so far and with a .22 none the less.

I also use the bulk Hornady 55gn FMJ with good results. Not sure where Berry's gets theirs from but they are not all the same.

I had a little time today and built an H&H style gauge too.

Runout = circularity + concentricity

I built a media separator for a bank of cement mixer size tumblers. It is on casters to roll from one to the next and doesn't have the normal crevices that trap and hold media. Not a lot to explain on this one so I'll get to the photos and video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScrYaUscDe8

Depends where you are actually measuring from but .002 is common.
