Question for Idaholewis?

[Matthew323]

Lewis,
What form of camera are you using to take the pics that you post of your cast bullets, and other m-l related things?

The images are so crisp, and clear, with great resolution; so that whatever point that you are trying to make is easily understood.

I would like to try and follow in your footsteps when it comes time to post pics of the finished Optima V2 pistol.

There is nothing worse then a grainy image with poor resolution that one has to squint at to try and make out details.

The images of your cast Boolits would do for any high end gun porn magazine!!@@

Believe it or not, it’s from my Phone And it’s a Reasonably Cheap Phone to boot. It’s Called an LG Stylo 3, This thing is outdated, They make much nicer ones today. Just look at Reviews on the Cameras of these Phones, Some of these Phones Today have Cameras that are INCREDIBLE

LOL, Thank you Partner!

Some don’t realize, But There is a DARN LOT that goes in to all of the Pictures, From taking the Time to Get Quality Pics, then Downloading to a Photo Source such as Imgur, Then Uploading, Copying and Pasting them in a Post.

Thank you to the Few of you Guy’s that Acknowledge the Effort that Goes in to it, There is a WHOLE LOT more to it than some think!! Believe me, It would be MUCH MUCH easier for me to Simply Take the Pictures and Store them in my PC for my Own Records/Data, But I know that some of you guy’s enjoy getting to See them, And It’s for you guy’s that i take the Time to Do it

I would like to chime in here with my gratitude to Idaholewis. I recently purchased the Frankford Arsenal digital scale he recomended. I weighed some R.E.A.L. bullets I bought off a guy in Tenn. Out of a batch of 50, I had about 35 good ones.It was a real eye opener. THanks for the advice Lewis

They are a good little Digital Scale Be Gentle with it, as with any electronic Device. And Check it’s Accuracy periodically with a Certified Check Weight if you have one? Even a Bullet that you know the Weight of, Mark that Bullet to the EXACT number the Scale Reads it as, Then use it from time to time as you are Weighing Bullets, or powder
