I’m guarding the clean but wet brass from bombers as it bakes dry in the afternoon Arizona sun.

Start with two buckets for brass. Label them #1 and #2.

What happens if a case of ammo is dropped 65 feet, struck by a fired shot, exposed to the detonation of a blasting cap, ground under the tread of a bulldozer or torched in a fire?

Calipers are an instrument for taking an inside or an outside measurement, having either two bowed legs or a sliding jaw.

Measuring the crimp is arguably one of the most difficult measurements to take when reloading ammunition.
