    Wow. I wonder if the employee got fired. It would have been the only way for the management to save face. You've got a good woman. Without a second set of eyes the dishonest would have cheated you

    Went coyote hunting, didn't see a damm thing. Tried the call. No luck. So I took the cmr30 for a walk. Walked about 5-8 miles. The CMR30 is a very good woods walker. Compact and light. I have to put a bird cage on the CMR30, paranoid about jamming dirt into the barrel and having a kaboom!.

    Broke out the old reloading equip box and took over the dining room table (wife not happy)...... I got my new press in today - will be setting it up this weekend - then posting 2 Lee Turret presses and lots of goodies to go with next week.....
    Added new shelving in the "storage closet" to hold all the stuff I ordred a while back that is now coming in.....so the Ms stays happy.

    Modified the table I got from @Little Jack's Guns (Thank you sir - this thing is perfect for me) and will be mounting my plates once they show up (hopefully tomorrow sometime) so I can swap presses out easily.

    Missed a sale on the M16 - but at least a buddy got it, so I might get a chance to shoot it - or at least hold it....LOL

    Took a chance on an old Lyman 45 bullet lube/sizer I got from Pappasmurf at a good price. It was froze up. Turns out one of the guide rods was slightly bent and had some surface rust on some of the moving parts. Took about 2 hours total, but got it apart and successfully bent back the guide rod. Then using my wife's hairdryer, I got the old lube melted out and off the threaded parts and got the .459" sizer die out that was froze in it from old lube and cleaned out. Cleaned up the guide rods with a file. It works now. All that is left is to fill with fresh bullet lube and install the sizing die and top punch I want to use in it.

    Not a real pain, just a project to complete that I was willing to undertake. I’ve cleaned up another Lyman 45 before that had even more dried lube to melt out. The most pain was dropping two small nuts in the grass. The happy part was finding both. Once through the old lube and mild rust, I found the parts fit together well and had very little wear for such an old sizer.

    You were smart to not try to force the parts to move...the handle and/or linkage would have broken.

    I knew it didn't move and I wasn't gonna make it. Especially knowing that you could possibly use it. Im glad you got some use out if it
