ad closed Two Boxes of 16 Gauge Shotgun Ammo - Sold
DeepSouth replied to The Legion's topic in Gear Classifieds
Thanking about this. Can use components in loading 410. May get you to include in Tuesday's deal. I'll let you know beforehand. -
AE Ammo has good ammo prices. 410 loads $14 per box.

Checking the order from ebay, it hasn't been processed through the warehouse yet. Can't do anything about it until Saturday. Looks like I'm stuck with that vendor. Got the primer seating tool finished yesterday. It's a 3/8X4" pipe, start primer into pocket with fingers, stand the hull on a flat surface (I'll use oak), place pipe on hull and strike it with a hammer.

Got the trimmer parts and a package of 303 Britt brass. Dang, need a 44spl pilot. One is $17 or a pack of different sizes for $25.

Good prices on everything I looked at.

Got a virus warning on my laptop yesterday. Checked with neighbor, her son wasn't busy so I carried it over while I went shopping. Neighbor across the street is moving out so I got a load of metal from their pile. Got notice that the shot was delivered to Sportsman's Warehouse in Southaven. A stop at walmart, couldn't find Cutter's mosquito spray. Got a message, laptop ready. 2 more stops then back home. He added a malware and Lenox. I gave him $20.

I checked on bamboo a week or so ago for tomato stakes. I like mine 8 or 9 ft long. Wasn't able to cut when it was cold as in the past. The patch is overgrown with poison ivy so I won't be cutting. My neighbor gave me a few 2X4 studs that I ripped in halves. He's changing his house from a 3 bedroom to a 2 and making the living room larger. Got a little smoke from the table saw motor. Oh no, not another one.

Doing ok with breakfast and drugs. Can't get very much dinner down before gagging starts. Settle for what I've ate and take the pills. Seems everything is doing fine except fingertips are numb.

I've looked at Hibid a few times for local stuff. They have a warehouse/showroom in Hernando, MS. I don't like having a card in hands that I know very little about that charge 4% on sales. All my auction items are bought with cash.

I spent the morning on the phone locating my pills. Had to drive to the Germantown office for the chemo drug. Southaven office for another and my Horn Lake drugstore for one more. Start this morning as soon as I figure what I want to eat. Most likely will be sick so thinking about what I want to lose a bit later.

Changed my mind about drilling, didn't want the holes off center. Stopped by a machine shop with the bearing block and collar. They would need the 14mm drill bit I have ordered for the job. They want $60 for their work. I called Forester, special order over the phone for the bearing and added the collar, along with shipping $35. Got them ordered and canceled the drill bit order. Got the tire tread gauge yesterday to measure depth of the primer pockets, it's in MM, 2 pocket's centers 4mm, must be the few that the rifle primers were below the head. Guessing with this bedside lamp most are 3.8, must be the ones that the primers were flush with head. About 10 are 3.6, must be the ones I had to reprime with pistol primers. After trimming they will be drilled a bit deeper to 3.8mm.

It's been a week since last visit and no drugs yet. Got the yard mowed and looking good. After the rain moves out I'll apply fertilize. Got the kitchen cleaned. Got caught up on reloading for now. Replaced parts on my wife's electric recliner.
-
Got the Forester trimmer cutter yesterday. It's for the classic model. The shaft of the old one measures .489, this one is .551 or 14mm. Looks like I get 2 14mm drill bits from amazon for $17. Hope my drill press centers well. Wish I had a lathe. I've got lots of different colored, different brands of short brass 12 ga hulls if anyone wants some for shipping only.

Returned to West clinic yesterday for a checkup. Lab work looked great and I'm in high spirits. Scrips were ordered, I'll be taking 3 pills for 2 weeks, 3 of 1 in morning and evening, 1 of the other 2 at the same time. Suppose to kill off cancer if it moves to other areas of the body. I can get sick, can't do work like using a screwdriver. Guess reloading will be out of the question for a while. Can't have hands in hot water very long at a time, no dishwashing for a few weeks. The one pill taken 3 at a time is a chemo drug, can't touch it use a spoon and wash it after. Can't flush unused pills, have to be returned to office if not taken.

I have 5 of the Lee round hopper Auto Prime tools. Bought them when they were cheap mostly from ebay. Looking there now 1 worn out 1 will cost as much as all 5 of mine. Got the EZ Auto Prime with square hopper and the new Auto Prime free with other purchases. Don't care for either. Got the Auto Bench Prime that I don't like loading primers in the new triangle safety hopper. But when set up it loads fast. I had 1 problem while fire forming. I'd fire a round and the gun would breech open. Reading up on as much as I could find the rim of a 303 is thicker than a 410 case/hull. Others have sanded the head stamp to reduce the thickness. Letters can barely be seen on some and none on others. They are using federal large pistol primers mostly/ in those. Some having luck using CCI LP primers. Primers have different heights, Fed .117, CCI .118, Rem .119, Win .121. Wish I could find the height of other brands.

I got a pack of 20 moto bits from ebay, one was the right size to remove the crimp on small primers. Searching for them now. It's a mix of headstamps on these cases. It doesn't matter which ones I try to primer with Winchester large rifle primers. One primer may seat below the head and the next hangs in the shell holder, same brand case. Only have 210 Winchester and 300 Remington large rifle primers left, planned to use them up resizing this brass. Move to CCI and Federal large pistol primers for reloading, they are shorter.

Oh no, my Forester case trimmer isn't large enough. Can't find replacement part.
-
Primers aren't crimped. A mill end is more than I wish to pay. I'm looking at drill bits.

Fire formed 100 303 Britt brass to 410 today. Gun got to hot to form all 190 cases. None will have to be sized a second time. On the bottom of the barrel side all cases are now longer and have a crack or chunk missing. To remove the small cracks 1/32-1 /16" should be trimmed off. Some as much as 3/16-1/4". Had a few that needed a few strikes, might be the firing pin.

I left my son a voice mail since he didn't answer. Haven't got a reply yet. Rained last night and more this afternoon. Might be Wednesday before I can get there.

Feeling great getting outdoors as much as I can. I work until I'm tired. 2 weeks of cleaning the front yard, 21 55 gallon bags of leaves and limbs to the curb for trash pick up. I couldn't pick them up, used the 2 wheeler to move them. Seems some of my tomato plants are dying. May have a trip to Homestead Nursery today for more. Slugs are eating other plants in the garden. Between rains they get lots of slug bait and Sevin dust. Took 2 days to cover the garden with card stock, finished with a cover of sawdust/shavings and composted leaves. Checked at Sportsman's Warehouse for recoil pads, $35 and up. I put one on my 12 ga in mid 70's for $8 from walmart. Searched for it, got 2 from ebay for $20. Delivery today or Monday. I glued 2 pizza boxes together, tops, bottoms and sides 5 days ago and have been under weight to set glue thinner. Punched almost half the sheet last night while watching the online auction. Before punching they measured 5/16" thick, 3/8" diameter. Got about half a sandwich bag. See what their thickness is soon. Only thing I bought was a walmart 10X10 screened canopy for $35. Will check to see what my son is doing today. Maybe a trip there to fire the shotgun and fire form the 303 brass. I've got 6 buckets of dirt for his gully.

The hulls I looked at that had been expanded closed up some. Think I'll grind the shaft of the align pin so it will go deeper into the hull. Expand the crimped neck a bit more, let sit on the pin longer to see what happens. See if I can rig up something on my Lee O frame. Hands are still sore from the other night. Grandson and I went pawn shop hunting yesterday. Byhalia, Holly Springs with no luck. New Albany pawn shop had a Stevens Mod 940A, 410, 3" chamber, choke not on barrel, stock had been shortened, no butt plate, $120 on the tag. I found a bulge 2" from end of barrel, most likely from a slug. I said $60 for it's shape, got it for $70. Full choke, Springfield Savage Stevens by internet search.
