I have no idea...but I'd like to know too!

understand completely...i just use it because it's what i've used before (with success).

it was good to go for me...i really liked the lpa sights. the only thing it was missing was a forward sling attachment, which i have now. gg&g makes one for the 870 that works fine with the 930.

I bought one of these a couple months ago and haven't had any problems at all. I just wanted to see what everyone else thinks of them or how they like them.

I use both...00 buck and then brennekke slugs: buck, slug, buck, slug, etc. It's what we did overseas and it works. (Slugs came from a "care package")

I don't know if you would want to drive that far, but there's a gunstore in Walsenberg off of the main street that has primers and bullets. I was there last weekend with my uncle. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the store though...

i'm sure it's the right powder...all i have is w231 and bl-c(2) and i use a completely different powder measure for my rifles just so i don't get them mixed up. ok, so looks like it's back to the tumbler! thank you all for helping me work this out. :)

i forgot to add that powder was in the action/spilled all over a bit when gun was disassembled, sorry. i never though of powder going bad...i've used up (i.e. fired) almost 3/4lb of that container. i make it a habit of checking each case has powder after all are filled in the loading block and...

That's what I do. :) I'm thinking somehow, I contaminated the primers...but I don't know how I did so. I keep my primers in a cupboard and only used what I need (100 at a time). I dump them on my tray, flip them, and pick them up with my primer tube (RCBS). Another mystery of life...makes me...

I know! They work wonderfully...this is the first issue I've had out of about 1000ish rounds fired with this load. I made sure before firing each of the 10 rounds I tested that the primers were below flush...I didn't have a means to measure exactly how below flush they were at the range though...

I've been loading 45ACP: 230gr Spear Lead RN, 5.5gr W231, Winchester Brass, Winchester Large Pistol Primers. 1.265OAL The load has been working out quite nicely until today...I was at the range and fired off 50 with no problem, and then I got a squib load (pop, sizzle, slide not cycling all...

1. Lee Perfect Powder Measure and RCBS 5-0-5 Scale 2. W231 and BL-C(2) 3. W231: 5.5gr (For 45acp) BL-C(2): 24gr (For 5.56) 4. Yes, from what my scale says. 5. The only powder I've tried in my Powder Measure is ball, which I think is a lot easier to meter than some of the other types.

the last time i was in iraq (2007), all of our acogs had flashkills. i think the army guys had flashkills on their m68's as well. our binos didn't have anything special to cover then lenses though...i don't remember if the binos had anti-reflective lenses or not. (usually we just ghetto rigged...

beatcop is right about some night vision scopes having the caps with the hole in them...our pvs-4's had those kind of caps and also our pvs-7b's and 14b's. They work in the day, but everything is green and sort of throws depth perception off a bit...

The best 45 that I've seen/used has been the FNP-45. I've shot 1911's, but never really fell in love with them. I can shoot most accurately with my FNP-45 out of all of the handguns that I've fired. (Plus you can't beat 14 round magazines...) *my 2 cents*
