Lee won't take a Cerrosafe casting? I've done fireforming with 10 grains of fast powder, topped off with cornmeal, and sealed with paraffin (actually, I jammed the case mouth into an old bar of soap and "broke" it off). I've seen Unique, Red Dot, Bullseye, W231, and just about every fast burning powder as recommended. You're not building much pressure. I will note that case shoulders tend to be very rounded.

Looks to me like a small parts holder for filing or grinding (the parts). Could be useful for final hand-fitting of smaller rifle parts.

I like Gigabyte; they seem to last a while. I currently run an earlier version of this board: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B079GRXBDJ?th=1 Foxxcon, ASRock, Asus, and MSI have worked well for me in the past. I'm not too fussy... My concerns are 4 RAM slots, a PCIe video card slot, reasonable RAM expandability (to at least 16 GB), SATA2 or greater, and NO INTEGRATED NVIDIA. AMD offers great graphics support to the open source community, and if no video card is to be added, integrated AMD is the way to go. I did add a video card, choosing an AMD R7 240-based version; it wasn't a "screamer", but it sipped power from the power supply. My sole considerations were to beat the integrated graphics as efficiently as possible, reduce memory consumption, and reduce the CPU load

CH4D is a good company to work with. It's a good future reference. That trim/file die still might be needed, unless you ordered that.

CH4D: https://www.ch4d.com/products/dies/groups Group E,. FL die set: $96.10. Trim die, $56.45.

My current machine is an AM3/AM3+ MB with a Phenom II (dual core) and 16 GB of RAM. I'm very happy, and it does all I need it to. I'd recommend getting a MB with SATA 2; the SSD I have flies with that combo. For Fedora or Linux, only the "/boot" and "/" partitions need to be on the SSD; everything else can be on platter drives. You could get by with a 32 GB drive between the two.

.303 British has the same base, or really close: https://forums.gunboards.com/showthreadphp?9661-RELOAD-Re-forming-303-brass-for-6-5x53R Heck even the 6.5x53R Wikipedia page says to reform from .303. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.5×53mmR

http://txmicro.com/desktop-parts/processors/ I've dealt with TX Micro.... Good service. 64-bit Core 2 Duos for under $10 is a good buy. Verify your MB FSB before you order anything.

"The product in unaltered condition has a limited lifetime warranty for materials and workmanship. At our option, product will be repaired or replaced. This warranty covers the stock and is to the original purchaser. Finishes are warranted for one year." Maybe a call to B&C and some sweet talkin'?

I appreciate your feedback, and I'll look into it. This is generally what I've found: https://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=1177 http://www.avsforum.com/forum/25-hdtv-technical/939550-can-i-combine-antennas.html Again, I'm partway done with my 180 degree project, and if everything works right I'll just need one antenna. My locale has no surviving VHF (OK, the one VHF PBS channel has a UHF counterpart), so I only need to worry about UHF.

I've had it beat in my head that you can't do that; you'd need a rectifier for that. I could do it with an A/B switchbox, though. You can combine antennas on the same cable with a splitter, provided the antennas don't overlap on frequencies; a VHF-only and a UHF-only would be fine together. I'm in the process of building a GH0, element-only antenna. With no reflectors, I can get 180 degrees. It'll be a larger version of the flat wall antennas that are in vogue right now.

Yagi antennas are very directional with a narrow beam width. Great for sources in a single direction. I have two banks of antennas 180 degrees apart. I'll need something different.

Would love to see the solid rear bridge conversion.

Which model? Did you "aim" it?

Another interesting link: http://www.hdtvexpert.com/tag/walltenna/ For indoor and local, that old "rabbit-ears" bowtie works fairly-well. Many folks have them tucked-away. A friend had a couple. Took one and added a $1.28 "matching transformer" from Menards. An example of what I'm talking about here: https://www.amazon.com/RCA-VH54R-Matching-Transformer-VH54R/dp/B00005T3EY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499918393&sr=8-1&keywords=matching+transformer drilled a 1/4" hole in a scrap 2X4 and bough 1/4" wooden dowel stock. I think I have about $3 in a fully-functional indoor UHF antenna.

Loaded question and many variables.... Indoor or outdoor? UHF-only or some VHF too? (ch2-13 VHF, 14+ UHF; real, not virtual) Distance to sources? Look here for some cool designs: http://clients.teksavvy.com/~nickm/gh_u/gh0_10u45.html For UHF-only, the Gray-Hooverman is hard to beat. Even the simple GHO as linked above (elements only) has a dbi over 8. A roll of 1/8 copper wire would do on a thin sheet of plywood. Elements-only has the advantage of 180 degrees. Fun project. Just do a search for Gray Hooverman for design ideas. Indoor doesn't need fancy frames. Have you looked at tvfool.com to get an idea of directions?

I think an Vegas-style wedding chapel would fit the bill. An Elvis costume would pay dividends....

Microsoft supposedly pushed a patch for this in March to Vista, Win 7, 8.1, & 10. For 8.1 and 10 users, I'm at a complete loss as to how any machine got infected. Users need to enable security updates frequently. Patches are listed as available via this link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/17/05/13/1745241/as-world-reacts-to-wanadecrypt0r-microsoft-issues-patch-for-old-windows-systems I won't work on XP, Vista, and Win 7 machines anymore. I point the user to the Walmart ad with the $299 HP laptop, or I offer to install Fedora 25 Linux.

You'll have plenty of seating if company comes by.... Heh. Another bad one.... if you decide to get "aromatic", your wife can make you sit in your own pew. You can take a couple of those pews and convert them into "deacon's benches". That would be a nice thing for an entry way or perhaps a covered patio. Is that a bad suggestion? You might even be able to turn a profit on the remainder if the conversion is done well.

What I find amazing is the focus on Trump. Sour grapes? Sure, but.... Recently, the Democrats have lost the Presidency, the Senate, the Supreme Court, a slew of Governorships, and thousands of state legislators. Local victories in special elections and mayoral races since the General Election aren't faring-well for Democrats either. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442474/democratic-party-lost-governors-state-legislature-seats-2016-elecion I say let them focus on Trump. They're clearly missing the message, and certainly out-of-touch; their apparent view is that whoever can scream the loudest and carry the biggest protest-signs wins. And if screaming, rioting, and stomping don't work.... therapy animals and cry-rooms can make-up the difference.

As it's based-on "Breaking Bad", I wouldn't expect a comedy. Is it similar to the "Breaking Bad" series? Dark, with much character analysis? Sometimes these shows just take themselves much too seriously. Daredevil, Sherlock, Dr. Morell and Mr. Strange, Wallander (Kenneth Brannaugh version), and Stranger Things are all top-notch.

Saw "Five Came Back" on Netflix over the last couple of days. Wow! It's very humbling learning of the WWII experiences of five of our nation's beloved directors. It's tough covering as much material as the series was able to do in its allotted time; it would have been interesting to see more. Stevens and Ford were both there on D-Day. Ford was at the Battle of Midway, and he was peppered with shrapnel during events. Stevens, a director of humorous musicals, was in for the long-haul to include to Battle of the Bulge, liberation of Paris, and filming of Dachau. Wyler's experiences and courage were especially touching. Houston's frustration at the limited showing and the censorship of his films is evident. All I can do is recommend watching this great series.

Puppy Linux installs nicely on a USB stick.

Is that a slot for a Pederson device on the left raceway?

http://m1903.com/03rcvrfail/ "The change in heat treating was instituted between serial number 750,00 and 800,000 at Springfield and by serial number 285,506 at Rock Island Arsenal. Rifles manufactured after these serial numbers are referred to as "high numbered" receivers and are commonly stated to be safe to shoot." At 815k and per generally accepted serial number ranges, you have a double heat treated 03 and it's in the "high" range. You should be fine.
