Obsessive Compulsive

[Floridawally]

Doh! I collapsed the shoulder with my Lee collet neck sizing die, now I can’t stand to look at the reloading tray. These are from the same box of Peterson brass that I shot and reloaded twice. I’m thinking of pitching the whole lot! Burns my ass!

Now isn't that a bitch. I'd sell the sonabitch to me and be done with a Lee...

[0utlaw]

I think that'll polish out

Not only a diplomat, but a humanitarian to boot!

I love Lee collet dies, they provide very consistent neck tension. I wish Redding or RCBS would copy it. I think the patent has run.

[mapper]

Hmm...that's a bummer.


Now was this the only sacrifice of brass in the load block?

If so it could be difference in brass hardness between neck and shoulder.

[Floridawally]

Hmm...

I *may* want to practice with that collet neck die before I use my Uber good brass in it, incase it requires sacrificial brass.

I’ve used the die for a while now and have done it before on range pickup brass. Problem is the petals on the collet stick together every now and then. Common problem with the dies. It is easy to prevent and fix, I was just lax with maintenance. I should have checked the petals before running it. Also, I could feel the tension when I was pushing the case into the die, but my dumb self said “wow that’s a tight primer.”

Really not a big deal, just hard to look at 49. If I have a good day at the range, what am I going to come home and tell JR? “Son, I was in the zone - put 49 in the 10 ring.”

I truly don't understand throwing a bunch of cases away because one is fubar. Am I missing something important?

Because I’m OC it bugs me looking at 49 not 50. I’m really not going to pitch them.

I always account for a few toss outs, if I want 100 rounds I tend to make 110. But yeah, I have a little ACD about symmetry as well.

I wouldn't loose sleep, but it would bother the shit outta me..

49, that's a lot of fingers and toes. You SURE you can go that high?

You know you can count toes more than once, right....

[Cattle/Horses]

:nope: How does that work?

[BWest]

use the toes as the 10s place and you can count to 110

or count in binary with fingers and toes and you can count every piece of brass for every cartridge you load and more :headslap:

[Cattle/Horses]

^^^ HUH?

[BWest]

each finger would represent a power of two, and you just "select" if it's on/off or included in the total to represent a number.

so on your right hand:

thumb - 1
index - 2
middle - 4
ring - 8
pinky - 16

to show 'one', just show the thumb
to show 'two', just show the index
to show 'three', show the thumb and index because 1+2=3
to show 'four', just the middle finger

on one hand you can count to anything that is a combination of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16

add more hands and feet and you can add larger powers of two, so 32, 64, 128 and so on, and can count even higher.

:redhothate:
(132)

[dave]

use binary left to right and you'll get 1,023 on just your hands.

[0utlaw]

Ya'll have put entirely too much thought into counting on your fingers and toes.

Aww man, I bet BWest was going to suggest hex next. But 32 still looks a lot better than 31:)

[Floridawally]

Now I can’t figure out what to do with this. I guess I could post it in for sale/trade:chinscratch:

[BWest]

I'll start the bidding.

I can count to 20 and 1/2.......with my shoes off and zipper open
