Terry

OK, I see you are posting about our site, Yes I see that section,
I was thinking you were talking about my computer site, Sorry I got cross threaded some where,
down all these trails. 

Question for you,
How do I get the photo's on my PC/email posts and get them to go to that (our) media site?

I have clicked on every thing that is shown on my photo's/email and there is NO info available anywhere.

Thank you for your time, It is greatly appreciated.

Don

Don I use Gimp2 to crop all my photo's.  It's open source and it's close to being as good as paint shop is.  I've been using linux for several years now and basically everything is opensource software that I use which is all free for download or can also be installed if the provider gives you the instructions for installing in the terminal which many of them do.

Don, I certainly hope that your pellet sizer is easier to work than this photo resizer!

I am starting to wonder myself.    Hang in there Don, you will eventually get it figured out.

 There is always the option of emailing the pic to another member to post

For the ones in email, you need to download them to a folder on your computer.
Open GTA, click the media button, open your album.
Look for the button that says mass upload. When it asks, navigate to the folders where the photos are and select the ones you want to put up. Hit upload.
After they are uploaded, open a photo and look at the info for it. There are preloaded links that you can copy/paste into your threads, replies, etc. that will post your pics for you.
Play around with it a little and you will get the hang of it. The best thing is you will never have to worry about losing those pics. Ever.

Yes, it does,
and with no HEADACHES, which is not the case of photo posting headaches I have, I wish I had a local CC school training here.
I am dumber than a box of rocks, But smarter than the box packer, I think, your thoughts may vary.........LoL

Kris
Thank you, I am bull headed and trying very hard, my g-son is a whiz on this plastic box/electronic things,
and I know it didn't get it from me.......

BR
I would do that, but then I am tying them up and I don't learn anything,
and I am still stuck in the same hole for any further posts, I have etc.
I got to learn this magic, somehow, I hope, I am a hands on type of person.

Terry
Thank you, I will start that process asap,
first I have to get my coffee going and a Big bottle of aspirin by this plastic box,
as I feel it's going to be a LOOOONG day again.

Question, if and when I get these photo in my folder,
will these photos be resized in this media section for posting to our site?

Off to headacheville..........

I greatly appreciate ALL your help.

Thank you,
Don

As far as I know, it will be taken care of when uploaded. I've taken pics at high quality and they uploaded with no noticeable problems that I've seen.

 Seems you do not have your media album set to public view, so I could only fetch the previews.

Thanks BR

There is 6 more photo's I posted, that didn't show up, don't know what happened,
as I didn't change anything when posting to the media section, I think.

Those 2 photo's are before I added text and numbered them for correct posting order.

Tia,

A couple of deep breathes, Don, you're almost there. Soon you'll ask yourself what all the fuss was about. 

[Nvreloader]

Thanks Terry
The only problem is, I don't know how I did it,
after 6+ hrs of clicking this and that etc. LOL
Tia,
Don

But here they are.

Bare press with no attachments.



Forming parts for press,
L>R , skirt base pin, nose HP pin, adjustment screw from press,
top> NOE size die, die holder for press, NOE die sets inside die holder 1 st model,
2nd model (bottom) Noe die sets on top of die holder, better option



A close up of the same parts as photo #2.



Parts mounted in the press, 2nd die holder style.



HP pin inside OEM adjustment screw.



L>R, sectioned pellet bases, OEM Crosman Piranha, reformed pellet skirt,
group of 5 pellets showing the reformed heads, skirts, reformed HP, OEM pellet HP,
notice the different sizing dimensions of the skirts/head, via different pressure used.



Close up resized pellets using different pressure, OEM pellet in the middle.

Well Guys,

I sized 10 Piranha OEM pellets to .217 head and .220 skirt diameters,
then pushed them thru LL> Leakin Lena's OEM 79 bbl, these were the results.

The heads had very very faint land marks, less than .001 deep,
and the skirts had land marks quite a bit deeper and could be felt with a fingernail.

I had a feeling that this bbl was off, it has loose and tight spots thru the whole length,
in the loose spots, I could push the pellet thru by hand pressure,
until I hit a tight spot then I had to tap the pellet thru with my plastic hammer.

So, I'll size some up to .218" diameter to see the results........

Tia,
Don

Happy you got the pics to work,  Don. Good luck with the rest.

[Nvreloader]

Thank you for your help, Terry

Had a bunch of help from Dave,..........
At least there is some photo's now. I still have not figured it all out, yet.

At least now, I can control and preciously size the OEM pellet heads and skirt sizes,
for the best accuracy, when testing, which is coming shorty with LL.

Back to the bench.........

Guys

I got a little work done turning the die holder, for the NOE dies, but have to find some more 3/8" round stock,
to make the base and nose forming pins, This new sizer, is twice as HD as the first one, needs larger sizing parts.

Tia,
Don

[Wayne52]

Don that pellet sizer is pretty cool, how much does something like that set you back   I've never needed something like that yet because all the pellet molds that I have seem to fit all my guns very good.  Sounds like that barrel is in need of bore paste or something because the only normal spot that would be tight would of course be the choked part.

Thank you,

I got the press for $30 shipped to the house,
I just got a HD model, twice the size/weight of the first press, and will handle any caliber to 50 cal.

This OEM 79 bbl is pretty rough/crude, it is the one that (unmentionable name here) came with,
has over half the inside diameter, with a messed up lands etc, it is such a hassle to strip down,
with the shroud/LCD etc, to change bbl's.

I have be resizing OEM crosman Piranaha's to see which bore diameter would IMPROVE the accuracy,
if possible, .217" & .218" diameters right now, every time I set to test for accuracy,
the winds/snow starts blowing 30+ mph, direct cross wind.

If that don't work, I'll pull that bbl and install the 2nd one I have, and start over.

As for converting the press's to resize pellet heads/skirts/bullets, only requires 3 parts,
shirt base and nose pins, die holder, and change of the NOE size dies.
It is so easy to adjust for sizes via a slight twist of the adjustment screw,
you can change to the diameters wanted/needed.

You drop a pellet/bullet in nose first, press the handle down, resized the pellet/bullet,
lift the handle and remove the resized pellet/bullet.

Tia,
Don
