Concentration and attention to detail are very important factors in producing quality reloaded pistol ammunition. A sturdy and organized table to mount your equipment will also make for a better end product. An updated reloading manual is needed to reference proper powder charge, bullet weight, and bullet seating depth. I will be using a single stage press on this how to. In later articles, I will go through using a progressive press.

After properly mounting your press and organizing work your table, you are ready to begin. I will start with the 45 ACP. It is a common and easy round to reload. If you had shot and saved your brass, often referred to as range brass or once fired brass, they will have to be processed. Reusing your once fired brass is a cost effective way of reloading that most reloaders will do. I highly recommend using your own fired brass because you can attest to the condition that they are in. If you picked up other people's brass, thoroughly check the condition that they are in. Processing brass is discussed later, which involves cleaning, deburing, sizing, de-priming and on occasion, trimming to length. Newly purchased brass, which can be quite expensive, is ready for powder, primer and a bullet.

Clean brass is important. You can clean them with a vibratory tumbler filled with crushed walnut shells or corncob. These can be found at your local gun stores or feed stores. Inspect each casing for damage, at the same time debur the neck. Lightly rotate the deburing tool inside and out of the neck of the casing. Damaged, questionable, inconsistent, or imperfect cases should be recycled at your local recycling center. These cases should NOT be used. It will cause injury, damage to your firearm, and is not worth the pennies that you will save.

Most die sets will combine sizing and de-priming in one step. Insert the proper shell holder and sizing die. If you are using a carbide sizing die no lubrication is needed. If not, roll the casings lightly across a lube pad and insert into the shell holder. Actuate the press one full cycle and you have now resized and de-primed. Next, measure the over all length of the casing with a caliper and compare it to the specifications in your reloading book. Trim the casing to the proper length with the case trimmer if needed.

Range brass will often times need their primer pockets cleaned. To do this, you need a primer pocket tool, a couple of rotations inside the pocket and its done. Inspect the flash hole for any obstructions. Sometimes cleaning media will lodge in the flash hole. Poke a small wire or tooth-pick to remove any obstruction. Since we are loading for the 45 ACP, you will need to use Large Pistol Primers (LPP). Smaller calibers will require Small Pistol Primers (SPP). Insert your brass into the shell holder, press firmly to seat the primer in the pocket. Run your finger across the bottom of the casing. A properly seated primer should be flush or deeper that the bottom rim.

Look in the reloading book for 45 ACP. Find the weight of the bullet, in lead or jacketed, that you will be using. Next look under the type of powder you are using and cross reference the two. You will notice powder charge listed in grains. The amount in grains will dictate the speed the bullet will travel and the pressure that your firearm will incur. Lead bullets will lead up your barrel if you push it too fast, where as jacketed bullets will produce lighter leading in the barrel. Use a powder measure to obtain the charge you want, check it with a scale or weigh each charge and pour the powder into each primed casing.

Before seating each bullet, look at the tray of charged casings. The powder level should all be the same. At the same time you are looking for missed or double charged casings. If this is done, just redo that charge. Now you are ready to seat the bullet. Install the bullet seating die. Set the bullet into the bell of the casing and slowly seat the bullet a little. Measure the total length and refer to the load manual for maximum bullet length. Make slow adjustment until the desired length is obtained.

After your tray of bullets are complete, inspect each round for over all length. This measurement should not exceed what is recommended in your reloading book. You will get faster the more you do and learn the short cuts. The main thing is to pay attention to what you are doing and you will enjoy shooting your own rounds.

Jaw-breaking Cars at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show

Geneva is not the capital of Switzerland however it did not divest the territory of the European and its cosmopolitan feel. But when Geneva Motor Show arrives, the territory radiates nothing short of breathtaking and the cars jaw-breaking. The said show showcases latest production vehicles, concept cars, supercars and sports cars.

An auto aficionado may not probably get enough of the offers of the Geneva Motor Show nonetheless there are few autos that could make him astonished for awhile. The anticipated show stars in the said show include the Saab Aero X concept, the Rinspeed zaZen, and the Porsche 911 GT3.

The Saab Aero X concept is one of the biggest surprises in the auto show. Inspired by the aviation heritage of the automaker, the concept car features an enormous canopy encircling the front windscreen, roof and doors that tilts and rotates forward. The style is resorted to by Saab to allow access to the cabin. To some, the concept car from Saab is deemed an extraordinary supercar.

Under the bonnet of the supercar is a twin-turbo V6 engine that runs on 100 percent bioethanol fuel and produces 400bhp. The fuel is sustainable energy source that diminishes CO2 emissions. If the supercar is produced, it will be engineered to showcase four-wheel drive and hit 62mph from rest in 4.9 seconds. Nevertheless, an enthusiast could not think anymore about the car figures, its stunning look could capture just anybody’s attention at once or without them even knowing about it.

Another arresting car is the Rinspeed zaZen. The extraordinary concept car from Rinspeed needs no further description. With its single piece transparent teardrop Porsche 911-based roof design, no one would doubt its potentials for a head-turner car.

The innovative roof of the zaZen was developed by Bayer Material Science using high tech plastics. The roof of the concept car could have stolen the headlines these past few days but seeing it up close is more than stunning. Rinspeed calls the roof of the vehicle a 'crystal skin' for this is where millions of tiny Swarovski crystals are embedded in the surface. The Swarovski crystals are also featured on the front and rear lights, as well as the side indicators. The use of crystals is one of zaZen’s factors that made it dazzling. Inside the concept car are transparent sports seats and a delicious mango orange finish.

Many jaws will definitely be slackened by the Porsche 911 GT3. The car is equipped with neater nose and more stunning. The Porsche 911 GT3 is a high performance version of the 911. The car is based on the automaker’s GT3 race car.

Other cars that may turn show stars include the Audi A5, BMW M3, Dodge Demon concept, Fiat 500, Ford Mondeo, Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept, Kia ex_cee'd concept, Maserati GranTurismo, Mazda Hakaze concept, MINI Clubman, Toyota Hybrid X and the Vauxhall Corsa VXR.

At the said motor show, Nissan will be unveiling equally-gorgeous updated version of the 350Z. The thrilling sports car from the automaker features the next generation 3.5 V6 engine. About 80 percent of major engine parts are new. To improve responsiveness and acceleration, Nissan brake caliper is integrated to the car’s system.

With cars like these, no passionate aficionado would dare miss this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

1981 Camaro rear disc brake conversion?

I want to convert my 81 Camaro rear brakes to a good disc brake set-up, but I want to have parking brake activation on both sides. Is it possible even with the notorious STAGGER SHOCKS? I want to keep my 15 Inch rear rims too. I've looked at some companies like SSBC and IN LINE BRAKES, but I don't get enough info from the web stuff to understand if they have provisions for brakes on both wheels because of the unusual staggered shock placement on the F-Body GM cars. I also was told that the FIREBIRD from 1980 (WS) was a solid disc brake set-up that had an entire backing plate for a caliper mount but was it a single side brake for parking ONLY? Also I don't want to run anything that will require me to go with C-CLIP ELIMINATORS.

there is very little in rear disc brakes converson or oriignal equipt that has good park brake the rear park brake on 1st gen camero was not good new ones ok if you use auto trans you can have drive shaft mount from motorhome hard to mount on 5 and 6 sp nowhere to mount most park brake on disc use expanding shoes very small 4 or 5 in by 1.5 wide look at new vette you will need to use front and rear to match and master and boaster etc or lincoln mk8 has ok park set up just remember fornt has to be bigger or car unstable when braking the ws firebird park brake is ok will not hold on hill unless adj is spot on have had good result with useing cross fileing rear shoes at 30 degee angle and haveing shoes of harder and maxed out lineing along with harder front pads and cross drilling rotors on my 502 6 sp street car idid go disc on rear and higher pressure

Current International Cycling Union road World Champion Cadel Evans' famously extreme time trial position hasn't always been the easiest to accommodate – not only is his base bar placed below the top tube, but the straight extensions and even the armrests are as well.
