With the talk about reloading lately and sizing brass, making sure you size the shoulders correctly as well as the overall case.
I thought I would post a couple pics of some of my tools. All of them are for a full size press and not the smaller Lee press. One of the tools is a case gauge, works like any other case gauge for checking the brass to be sure it will fit in your chamber. Plus it has a window that you can see the neck and shoulder area. Let see if I can post these.

Well, the pics came out so here's the run down on them.
First pic is of the 50 BMG case gauge and dedicated primer punch tool. The rings on the rod were made so that when you contacted the primer, primer is at the bottom of the shell and then out of the shell. If any of you were ever on Biggerhammer you would remember GEO.AZ. He made some cool stuff that was more for function then anything else. His son in law still has these made on a limited basis. Second pic is of CH4D's FL sizing die with replaceable bushings to match the neck to the chamber. Very nice to have, if you have a couple different rifles with different chambers, this tool comes in handy. |

Here is a photo of George the Old Turkey. I miss him. He made beautiful tools. I was using his case gauge yesterday to sort out resized 50 BMG brass I am selling. http://www.fototime.com/8C6CAB4C0A5FBC8/orig.jpg Wow, that looks like a suppressed 50 useing a ar50 reciever |

If I remember correctly George used a State Arms receiver and a barrel that was turned just enough to knock off the junk.
Made it look huge and heavy to absorb all the recoil forces. I think he had quite a few rifles chambered in 50 BMG. That mount he has it on probably weighs 50+ pounds. Hey F4E, did you ever sell your .50? |

Hey F4E, did you ever sell your .50? The guy who contacted me and asked me to sell my 82A1 to him did not respond to me for a week after I made preparations to sell it. Then he finally responded and stated that his offer was a big misunderstanding and he was no longer interested. This is the first time I have had this experience. Everyone I have dealt with over the years has been honest. My Barrett 82A1 is still available for sale, but I have not had time to put an add together for Gunbroker I would still like to go to Coalinga with you to shoot my 82A1 one last time, but I have been too busy to make the journey. I invited Aaron, but he is slammed with work too. BTW, someone named Ben contacted me last week and he bought all my resized 50 BMG brass. I thought he might be your friend Ben, but this shooter from Southern CA did not know you.

Mr Chase no longer makes the gage for Jerry Hazlett. Jerry gave the Manufacturing Rights to Martin List. Martin has stated he no longer has interest in making any more. I may contact him for the "rights" to make them. I made about 30 pieces of depriming rods very similar to GE,AZ without knowing his design existed. If desired, I could be convinced to make more. |
