    I'm glad to see this! We will have some great discussions for sure! I must explain that my typing is limited as my wrists and fingers are pretty bad.
    Besides my firearms business, I was a chisel and mallet mural carver for 50 years and I was too aggressive. I had microsurgeries to save a bit of use from them, but typing for very long is difficult for me.
    All of what you read above is from my archives, written long ago. It's a basic, not meant for advanced reloaders. My Brass is RUAG Swissicon National Match brass. All of it. I'll post the explanation from the archives maybe tomorrow. I'm very solid on the points of disagreement, but that will take new typing, so it may take me a few days.

    The cartilage was all worn away so the surgeon shaved bone so I didn't lose all movement, but it's limited.

    Below is the last mural I carved. It took nearly a year and was the final nail in the coffin for my carving. It's 18' long and 5' tall by 6" thick. It hangs in Glacier Park International Airport here in Montana. I still have my Swiss firearms business. Swiss Products | swissproductsusa | Kalispell Montana

    The last carving I'll ever have done.













    Back when I can.
