Thanks for the Hornady brass tip. I tried a 5/32" drill bit with some success and various picks/reamers/whatever looked like it would work. After working on 5 or 6, I used a few to set up my Little Crow trimmer and threw the rest in the trash.
Hi, 6.5 Grendel is a new caliber for me to reload. I bought some range brass and was prepping it tonight. About 10% of the 150 Hornady cases had this primer inner ring (case on the right). I don't know what you call it. Can it be easily removed?
Thanks in advance for your knowledge.

My son bought a Taurus Judge that shoots 410 and 45 Colt. I couldn't find any ammo for it so I was going to reload some (new caliber to me).
Of course the reloading dies were out of stock and the brass couldn't be found. I finally found some ammo from LAX ammo at, including shipping...
The bit is hard. I said I "filed" the end. More like, I tried to file the end, and when I made no progress, I ground it down with the edge of a dremel cut-off wheel.
I never thought I'd be able to get threads on it either. It was a little tricky to get it started. I first put them on...

The Lyman Case Prep Center is great. The reamer tool is a must when decrimping cases like LC. But, they're $10 each and I find they wear down quickly.
So I got some 4.4 mm drill bits from Amazon. A 5-pack was $6.89. I filed the point flat so they wouldn't...
Thanks for all the info so far. I missed the 3rd barrel. Trying to get better pictures of that and hopefully some markings on the underside of the barrel after disassembly. I'll post. Thanks again.
Friend of mine got this in his father's estate. He has no knowledge of when or where it's from. Greatly appreciate any input on the age, type or value.
Thank you.
I have an Aero 308 that liked to stick at first. How many rounds are through it? Clean it good, oil it up, rack it about 25 times a day for a week, clean and oil well, take to the range and report results. After I had problems, a friend with the same gun did this. First time at the range...
I bought a 20 gauge 11-87 Sportsman (synthetic stock), new from Bass Pro 2 yrs ago for $700 plus tax. Shoots great. I also have an 11-87 in 12 gauge which I've run 5000+ rounds through (lots of skeet). Obviously I'm a fan of the gun.
Wood vs synthetic? What are you going to use it for...
Ammo used to have to be packaged in the factory box. That's no longer true. Secure packaging. No baggies. More from the Southwest website.
"The ammunition may be placed in the same container as the firearm and must be securely packed in cardboard (fiber), wood, or metal boxes, or other...
I carry guns and or ammo frequently (CHECKED LUGGAGE ONLY). I bring home spent brass to reload. Rather than a lock, I ziptie my bags. TSA usually opens them. They leave a little card inside saying it was inspected.
Firearms need to be declared, but that's about it. Check on your...
My gong stand is here. Easy to build, a 2x4, some threaded rod, and nuts. Works good, lasted a long time. Easy to replace parts. Doesn't fall over when I shoot it with my 30-06.

And if you ever find yourself with more venison than you know what to do with, go to Cabela's and get a jerky gun (for ground), their original jerky seasoning kit, and a dehydrator. You won't be able to make it fast enough to satisfy your friends and family.
