We have them pretty bad this year and our normal hunting, driving them off for a couple weeks and keeping them in the woods isn’t working. The 4x4x8 ft traps don’t cut it anymore either. I decided on a double gate corral trap that I could put on their trail, connecting the two gates with...

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 don’t see...

I added the primer sort part to the auto decap machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJgU3-OXuUU

I didn’t get to do anything neat this winter and another thread on another forum had me thinking about an auto decap machine that could cull SPP 45 ACP from LPP 45. I have the decap and feed part working. Maybe next week I’ll have some time to add the cull part right before the exit...

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...

I had an ammo load stepped 9mm case somehow get by and into the machine, the powder check found it. I wired into this particular PC die as it is an input for the PLC that normally runs this machine but it is otherwise as it came from Dillon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EU9deSKm48

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...

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 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. How it works...

There have been a few times I have wished I had a simple little concentricity gauge dedicated to the reloading room for measuring runout in cases and to see how well bullets are being seated, so I built this one today. There is a slot machined into the base plate that the bearing holders ride...

380 shot shells. First step is to turn the .223 case back and I built a little fixture to trim them to .980" Once locked into the fixture I rough cut them long then hit it on a disk sander that gets it to .980" I used Winchester SPP to ignite the N310 under a cardboard wad with 60 grains...

Working up some loads and needed a quick brass catcher so I knew what brass was fired from each round. Lucky for me, I had to clean the pool earlier and that gave me an idea. A few 1/8" straps, and a section of tubing and two bolts and I was ready to go.

After looking for "uppers" for one of my TC contenders for my Daughter and not liking the prices I decided to build them. Started with the .22 blank and turned it down and threaded it for a suppressor. While I was at it, I went ahead and machined a thread protector if it ever didn't have...

Found a deal on a NIB pro 2000 and received a shell plate for 9mm Tuesday and had a case feed working today. Still need to cut the locator plate and finish out the feed tube and collator interface but this is a video of how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hObNbSATBOE Thanks to GWS...

The case feed, Hornady bullet feed and the latest primer system came in and I made some adapters for my collators so they would work. I also added a counter, light and mirror, so I could know how many primers I went through and so I could see the powder throw as I couldn't also run a PC die...

So I had a dream about a solution to a problem I don't have but read about often. People always complain about the primer shoot and how the 650 delivers a primer no matter if there is a case or not. So in envisioned a stamped part the would go between the station 2 locator tab bushing and hold...

I had a 9" section of a 9mm barrel left over from another project I had sitting around for awhile and finally did something with it. Turned it down to fit the 20ga chamber of one of my 24's. After a fellow tinkerer loaned me a reamer I shot some groups with it today and managed a 1.5" 5 shot...

I have posted videos of the different steps before but never one of all the operations at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8tWaN5PrTY

Put more in it. Not really reloading per se but I always wanted a remote rifle and finished one this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxXv1je6yr8
