Default Pigs powder lab




Little Dandy is handy...but the #7 rotor says it throws 4.5 grains of 231..actually throws 4.6-4.8. And the #8 rotor is supposed to throw 5 grains..actually throws 5.2-5.4. Time to engineer the #8 rotor. Anyone notice the high tech spent primer catcher?

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Update. Bought some JB Weld Steelstick today. Going to degrease and rough up the cavity on the #8 rotor, apply some steelstick to the bottom, let it set up, then work it with a drill so it throws 5 grains consistently..or 4.9-50 then trickle as needed. I don't own a dremel But I do have steel rasp and file drill bits for my Dewalt..just gotta remember not to put it on hammer.......Also bought more insulation..90 today..welcome to spring in the Deep South

Same up here Mike. 90 the last couple days.

Dehumidifier went out in my garage reloading shop and I don't have AC in there.

Off to get a new dehumidifier. They seem to last a couple of years. Been through four or five by now.

Nice to see the bench is working!
