I know this is a couple of months from the last post but I thought I needed to comment. I was attacked in my home several years ago and survived because of a low caliber round. Barely. Read on. My room mate at the time had some friends over. We were all drinking and having a good time...

FYI - 1.255 is the magic number for me now. Perfect every time! Still looking for the perfect bullet to seat but I am quite happy with Precision Black 230rns now. Cheap and no stink.

Good points. Garage is basement style with a concrete wall four cars deep. Perfect setup. The range isn't that far from me I guess. Easier to stay legal. I wish I had the funds and lived in an area where I could build an indoor range. That would be like crack though.

I see this crap weekly. There is always a ghetto dude looking at a Desert Eagle at the shop I shoot at. It's depressing to know that gold tiger striped desert eagles sell better than Kimbers in my neighborhood. Spinning wheels make me almost as sick as gold DEs.

With a safe and proper trap in the back of the garage is it legal to shoot my .22 ? Suppressed Walther P22 BTW. Sorry if I don't know the details.

I have about 1000 rounds through the Kimber. I think it may be an OAL issue. If I put a 1.263 casing in the barrel it doesn't seat as far as a 1.260 does. A 1.255 seats even further. This just dropping it in and not pushing it in. Would this cause the round to not feed at all? Most of...

Most of them aren't not seating in fully. Most of them are getting stuck right as they are going into the breech with the slide open quite a bit.

Ughh. I am getting there. I have a dumpster being delivered tomorrow to clean out the garage and get rid of old motorcycle and car parts. The wife will kill me if I replace that stuff with gun stuff. Heck I might even be able to park a running car in the garage after this. Yeah right. Im...

So if I measure something I know fires well against my loads and my load is larger at the crimp I should adjust my crimp? Makes sense. I didn't notice it getting any worse due to fouling but I only shot 100 rounds.

I am using a Dillon Square Deal B. The seat is in stage 3 and the crimp in stage 4. No go on the Lee dies. I can adjust the amount of crimp though.

I loaded my first 100 .45 ACP and shot them in my Kimber Custom II today. I got 6 FTFs out of the 100 and about 4 more I had to push the slide in the last 1/8" to fully feed them. Here is what I loaded: lasercast 230g LRN OAL 1.260 4.7g W231 Mixed headstamp brass I got the data from...

Works great!

Ok. Scratch the workmate idea. I am going to mount the press to a length of the 2x12 and clamp that to my coffee table. Easy easy. Just have to buy two c-clamps.

I started drawing up plans to make a nice bench out of the 2"x12"s I have and I am already tired thinking about it. Im gonna swing by HD on the way home and see about a Workmate. 2x12s will work for the top and center squisher beam if I rip one in half for the squisher.
