Re: making - re-usable - slip on powerheads
I just finished my Batch of 45 cal. Got 9 of the 3.25 in tubes out of the Water Wrench I purchased for $8.67 at Home Depot. (as Impaler said "...the proper lengths to cut the metal tubing= 3 1/4" for .45 cal 4 1/2" for .308") However, I found that my Custom spears have the Flopper set at exactly 2 inches from the tip. This caused the TUBE to be too long, which would most likely prevent primer contact.(this discovery was made AFTER I had cut them all and 5200'ed the round in them( My Dumas mistake). I had made a practice one with a dummy round, which was how I fitted and found the problem. Sooo, I had to re size my tubes to 2.75 inches. Everything else worked out great and easy. My total investment came to $1.48 per unit, Ammo included, 5200 was on hand. Thanks again for this DIY idea and the GREAT video.
