  1. Anybody know how hot an oven gets on the self cleaning cycle? Hot enough to fire a clay piece?

     

    My daughter had a pottery class at h.s. Don't quote me but I think it's around 1800 to 2500 degs.

    I 'll ask my daughter, and get back to ya. ..Dave

  2. For ALL you "smoker wanna be's" the best stuff to inject into the exhaust just behind the cats is Dextron 111. Or use any TRANS fluid . The smoke is blinding white and they can't see for shitttes,not only that, it smells the same. Anyone ever stuff the spud in the tail pipe? Next time put a 3/4 " hole in the spud first. Relives the back pressure. When the tater is cooked it swellup then about 5 min later...Kapow..the"ll swear they blew something up....Just me yakkin...Dave

  3. I'm using a RCBS 2 at the present time. Was planning on getting a newer model or brand..I like the Q.D. design of the lock and load style. After counting up the QD rings I'd need, I think I'll stick with what I got. I did however get the Lee's 7mm/130gr cast mold w/handle. I was having problems with the bullets having lines in them. Do aluminum molds need to be seasoned..After about 250rds then most of the lines came out.

    I think for having nicer looking rds,the Lyman molds are a lot better. I'm just shooting paper at 50-100yds so the Lee mold will do. Today I just got through castin 600rd of the 7mm/130grs and 130rds of

    Lyman's 31141 mold of 30-30/173gr casts. Now to just sit back and prep them for loading. Thanks for all the input. Dave

  4. Hey folks. Just wondering if any of you use either Hornaday's lock & load or Lee's challenger presses. Was thinkng about upgrading..If so how do they rate. I know that Lee is alot cheaper, never seen them or used them..Any insite would be greatfull...Dave
