I took Dave's advice and uploaded my posts starting January 22, 2017 to a blog website. I appreciate everyone's support (and the criticism too).

https://ronsreloading.wordpress.com

I'm able to categorize my posts to count how many references there are for each caliber.
AR-15: 28
300BLK: 24
AK-47: 22
MN 91/30: 21
6.5 CM: 18
1911-22: 9
Hey RK,

A few comments:

At the top it says something like “Reloading for Different Rifle Calibers”. Yet you list a 1911-22 as well. Not really important, just thought I would point it out.

When I click on the 1911-22 category it is hard to find the 1911-22 results because I had to dig through all the other calibers.

Overall it looks good. Congratulations!!!

Fixed. I haven't figured out yet how to change that text color so it's difficult to see. I guess they assume that I'll pick a bland Hawaii photo. ;)
Maybe I'll remove the 1911-22 category.

Looks great! See if you can change that color. 👍

Glad you were not hurt.

Check your chamber by trying to drop a live round into the chamber. If it drops all the way in without your having to push it in even a little, then no problem. If a round won’t drop in completely without help then there is some lead build up in the chamber. A good bronze brush should get it all out.

LMK if you find any lead build up.

I think there is lead build up. I noticed they weren’t going in easily so cleaned it thoroughly after the last two trips with Ed’s Red solvent and wire brush. Need to go to town on it this time, perhaps with more acetone...

My friend's 1911-22 had a ring of lead in the chamber that took him an hour or so to get all of it out. He didn't realize it was still in the chamber until I convinced him to try the round drop in test. He kept scrubbing and testing until it finally chambered correctly. I hope it comes out quicker and easier for you than it did for him.

It was a beautiful day, just like here. The wind is taking the vog straight south away from the islands.

Got a bunch of lead out, hopefully most of it. The Armscor is copper plated so the lead might be from the powder. Maybe...

What method/product worked best to get out the lead?

I use My own concoction of Ed’s Red with extra acetone which is supposed to melt the copper but hoped it worked with lead. Gloves and glasses are a must.

Also had Queen Night at the Opera and Fleetwood Mac Rumors on 8-track. Might switch someday. The music should be something you've listened to hundreds of time so your mind doesn't have to focus on the music.

Well, Pink Floyd certainly qualifies for me. Also, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath.  :shaka: :shaka: :shaka:

Speaking of Ozzy, I thought this was funny. Couldn't find the Comedy Central version so they may have taken it down.

Definitely enjoyed that thanks. Cat Stevens has a special meaning for me while I was growing up. When he converted to Islam he was banned from coming to the US. Also, he changed the words to some of his songs. That really disappointed me as the word changes also changed the meaning to his songs. I was surprised to see in this video that he is allowed to travel back to the US.
