Well, I screwed up again. I was using the phone to check stuff here and at the same time me and the son were sizing brass. We did a big bucket of 45 auto brass and then we swapped out the presses to do the 223. I screwed up by using the spray bottle of sizing lube and got the HEY we don't use that on the rifle brass that's only for the pistol stuff. My mind went from do what? to HEY I'm the big guy here so we are doing it this way. I did them like we just did the 45s, spray and goof off until it dried then run them. The first 3 or 4 went ok a little tight but still ok. The 5th one got hung in the sizing die after I jerked the handle and pulled the rim off of it. My son just got up and walked out and got a pop from the refrigerator and came back and sat down and very plainly said, ok don't listen to me I don't know nothing anyway. Then he went back to sorting the cases he was working on. I sat here a minute then ask him what he meant by that's not the right stuff and if he knew how to fix my screw up. He told me I may as well call papa and ask him where he keeps the tool to get the cases unstuck. I am not messing with Joe over this so I started hunting for the little box that has the drill bit, tap, bolt and washers he uses for this. After I found it and got the case pulled out I got a little more humble and ask Avery what do we use on the 223 brass. Ok, its a spray too but its some homemade concoction that doesn't say sizing lube on the bottle.
I called the wife and told her I was just put in my place by the boy and after she stopped laughing so says and I quote. Well he is with dad all day everyday and they do everything together and you know he sees all and retains everything. When he said hey wait you got all big headed man on him so he just let you screw up and I'll bet if you ask him he could have stopped you but you made him mad so you got what you deserved.
I hate it when she is mostly right, she screws up with him too. SO right now we are drinking our pops and waiting on this spray stuff to die and if we want to make sure we can use the heat gun on them, then they wont stick. I can hear the mess this will start when Joe comes in, I should have found something else to do but we are low on ammo and this is seemed like the thing to do. Some days its damned if you do and damned if you don't, this is one of those days. I guess they can dry over lunch, we were just called to the house to eat.
