Really enjoyed the video. I have an A, A2 and a 2A (2 over the A). All three cleaned up and repainted. According to RCBS there is no 2A, my reply was I have one and will send you a picture of it, they never responded. Don't know if it was a casting error or what. Have 8 Rock Chucker's , earliest is a '69, started reloading in the early 70's. Why so many, sometimes one needs to go backwards and redo, having to change dies etc. One thing lead to another. So, the 3 die set up, one is set up for depriming only, with universal depriming die, the next is for resizing and small primers, then next is the expander die and large primers, the next one is pre-seater, next is final seating and last is crimping. Paint, I found that the ACE brand Safety Green ACE1010099 was a good choice. One can paint it any color they choose, even pink. Don't remember which one (maybe the A) the bushing was like a 1-5/8 double start thread.
After seeing this press on RU-vid I always wanted to pick one up. I've seen several on eBay but they were very expensive. After watching your video, I'm glad I never pulled the trigger. I no longer want a Green Machine. Thank you for saving me money and a bunch of headaches. Excellent video.
Hello sir, just ran into this video 9 months late. I have the original B14R, thinking on building another, in your opinion, is it any advantage over the original one? We do precision bench rest 50-200 yards. Thank you.
@@darrondb Rhank for the fast response. I really enjoy your videos, there are always educational to me. Enjoy your coolness and sincerity. Keep them coming, I am subscribed to your channel but I am not getting any notifications, so I am going to double check in a minute.
@JoDel-qam4u I've not been able to make any new ones for some time now as life got crazy busy. Thanks for watching and I'll try to get some new stuff up soon!
Seems to use the lyman 310 dies, or as old as it is, the ideal dies, which are the original 310 dies. Uses a handle to reload. I believe the original ideals would seat and crimp at the same time, though it would use a specific bullet mold to accomplish this. They also had some with an adjustable bullet seater like the lyman 310's. They use the same thread, but all 310's are the final iteration with all having adjustable bullet seaters.
This series is such a cool idea. I stumbled onto it because I was looking for old CH Super C info. I learned on one of these and I still have it, still use it. I have a nice modern Hornady Progressive now. I mainly use the old single as part of my depriming/sizing steps. Then I do the rest of the case prep. I rigged up a primer catcher from an aerosol lid. Otherwise primers are thrown everywhere. I'm starting to see a lot more reloading equipment at gun shows, vintage stuff and it's selling for quite a bit. Maybe I'm reading into it too much but it seems like there's an overall surge in interest in this stuff. Guys like myself have never known any different. I'm delighted to see it but I'm like, "Where you all been?" What you're doing is showing everyone what all this stuff is, whether it's still viable, what are the pros and cons, how things have evolved, etc. It's super interesting to a guy like me who has been into reloading all his life.
@@darrondb I hope you do. I like your dry sense of humor, thorough research, and dedication. I really wish my dad was still alive. I could see us watching your stuff together.
My dad was like this. And when I'm gone, no one will know what he did. I can *really* feel what you're saying. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who cares. It's nice to see some appreciation for something truly special.
Awesome Mod. I have a Dan & Wesson Bruin (1911 w/ 6.3" Barrel). Any chance you have a compatible pistol that you can advise on the fitment with this Marsupial Gear?
Hey darron i have a couple of these now and every one has threaded hole on the bottom of the handle linkage and my handle spud screws right in it and itll cam like backwards. Do you know what this threaded hole is for? I cant find anything about it anywhere
I have a B-14 R I am trying to to get it balance what would you suggest? It is the steel version. I really enjoy your video, lots of helpful information
I've got a Carbon BMR in .22 mag and absolutely love it! Dime size 10 shot groups at 50 yards with CCI TNT. Im sure the B14 is a shooter as well. Bergara is great quality.
Nice looking RPR, I'm thinking about finally doing something with mine (got it in 2018) I need to push it's range out further for a start, I have 1.25" MDT rings & a Vortex Diamondback 4-16x44 FFP EBR 2C Reticle but can only get to around 180/5 meters fully dialed & around 210/15 meters using drops on scope. Any suggestions on the best way to getting it shooting further would be great for a start and any upgrades you think I could look at? Cheers from Australia, p.s, I'm limited with budget.
@@darrondb thanks, watching your part 3 now and waiting on delivery of my own BMR. I actually use the same riser on another stock and ordered it again for the BMR.
Great footage, I like the top of hat GoPro angle. I really like the simple way you were running with just a bag plate and a bag. You have good, efficient movement between positions and are a credit for us oldish guys that like to run around shooting in the woods. If I could give a little constructive criticism (and bear in mind this is coming from a nobody who has never done nothin), when you call for time, you wait for the response. The RO is watching you, not the timer, so it takes a while to tell you the time. So you are sitting there for 3 to 5 seconds waiting to find out how many seconds you have left. By all means, ask for time. I'm just saying keep going after you ask, they will tell you when they tell you. I just got to the part where you asked the RO to tell you at 30 seconds, which is how I like to roll. I know some people like to use the talking timers or smart watches, but I have enough electronic things yelling at me in my life. I mean, if I wanted that much feedback I would bring my wife to matches and she could tell me what I'm doing wrong as I'm doing it. I can't load a dishwasher properly, how could I be expected to operate a firearm? Anyway, I appreciate the time and effort it took to record videos while competing in a national championship. I'll go back to watching the rest of your backlog now.
Great video Darron and happy new year. Like the suggestion regarding the hammer head and hockey puck ! Im now off to the hardware shop and sports store 👍🇦🇺
Really enjoy your videos! Getting myself & son into NRL22 this year. Looking at the BMR carbon w/ Argos BTR gen2 6-24x50 or BMR steel w/ Argos BTR gen2 8-34x56. What’s your thoughts for solid base class starter rig?
Greetings! Thanks for the kind words! You will want the steel barrel for better balance. I would suggest the 6-24 for a couple of reasons. The 6x will be useful for stages with real close targets (30 yds). You won't ever need to go above 24x. With the 8-34 version, you lose some clarity above 24x. I would also suggest getting one in mil as that is what the majority of competitors use and it is helpful to speak a common language
Is that the same bag that had all the goodies to help a visiting overseas shooter last year? That bag had mags, ammo, printed cof with dope and a barricade bag - was truly appreciated!
