Re: Annealing
I am using a propane torch and liquid Tempilaq. The 650 degree Temilaq turns to a black crisp in about 4 seconds. It started to change color slightly then just instantly turns to a black crisp. I'm guessing that my torch flame is hotter than your stove flame? It seems like my brass should be hot eno...

Re: Annealing
Ok so I took a piece of brass and intentionally ruined it. And just for my own reference I decided to do it in a dark room. The brass began to get a dull red glow at the 10-12 second mark. This is when I stopped and decided to do the squeeze test I've read about. I let the brass cool then I took a n...

Re: Annealing
Ok so here's where I'm at now. I got 650 degree Tempilaq. The Tempilaq never really liquifies, just turns to a black crisp in 4 seconds. I put some on the inside of the neck and the outside as well and they both turn black and crisp the same time. I am using a propane torch and I'm a little surprise...

Re: Annealing
ok I was trying to be cheap and not buy it but that could end up being more expensive. I'm ordering some. I'm assuming from what I've read the 650 degree stuff is the way to go? Is there any cleanup after using this product? Does it evaporate and go away or will I have to clean it up?

Annealing
I've recently started annealing my brass. I've read numerous articles and different ways of annealing. One article on Accurateshooter.com that I read really warned against over annealing. I'd love to see some pics of your annealed brass. How dark is the color after you are done? The brass that I've ...

Re: Savage Model 10 XP Preditor Hunter
I would buy them separately. They put really cheap scopes on those packages and you will end up spending more money for another scope later.

Re: Recommend a neck turning tool, please
I use K&Ms carbide tool. I have not used others, but it's simple and I like it. I didn't even wreck any brass in setting it up! I bought their chuck for a drill and it's works well. I use this for all my 6MM AI brass that I make from 7X57 brass.

Re: Bald Eagle
I shot a coyote from my porch yesterday morning at 380 yards with the .243. The coyote hide wasn't any good as the 75 grain vmax destroyed it. I left the coyote lie where it was and by evening there was a bald eagle sitting by it!! We dont have a lot of eagles here, but the last few years I've been ...

Re: hand loads vs factory loads for accuracy
Handloads have always been more accurate for me. If you use quality components and know how to tailor the brass and seating depth it will always be more accurate than factory ammo. Factory ammo is just too loose in the chamber and most likely is not the ideal seating depth for your gun.

Re: Reloading kits
buy Redding.....I tried cheaper and wasn't happy so I ended up with Redding anyway and had to buy twice. Bite the bullet and do it.

Re: Kit Fox
I'm with you Glen......I've let the foxes go the past few years. This year I've seen a few more so I allowed myself to take one. I've noticed that in the areas that I've been hitting the coyote population really hard with snares, bait piles, and calling for 3 years that the fox population is increas...
