I had .45 written in Sharpie on the shell holder so I guess I assumed they would realize I was using it for .45. Apparently I assumed a little too much. As to my .40 issue I think I finally have that solved. I had to manually push the retainer spring into a groove that it is suppossed to...

I got my cart before the horse so my apolgies for not having used the search feature before aming the OP. I found that the #1 shell plate (suppossedly for .45 ACP) is not compatible with the EZJect system. Hornady already told me that if I continued to have issues with the shell plate they...

Was having some problems with my Hornady LNL and sent it off to Hornady to let them work their magic. While they had it I had them install the new EZJect subplate on. Is anyone else having problems with it? Every shell gets hung up on it and I have to manually pull the new bullet into the...

Nalioth: My bad. I misread that quote you posted from the ATF when I read it earlier. I've been reading tons of airline/TSA stuff, ATF stuff, and gun board posts such as these and I got my mind reading far faster than my brain was comprehending. So now I have to decide if I want the...

Nalioth: everything I've read says (I think) no shipping of a gun to another person unless they are a FFL holder. I think I will take my chances and deal with Southwest Airlines and the TSA and hope all goes OK. Based on some responses in this thread and some of the other gun boards I...

I am wanting to bring a handgun on a trip I am taking to a different state. I will be flying and while I know it's a big time "no-no" to carry on a plane can I pack the gun in checked baggage if it is dismantled? I thought about FedExing the gun to my parents home but I think that isn't legal...

So this thread is a little over two years old but my post to it serves two purposes: 1. The search feature here works pretty doggone good if you're willing to sift through the various threads that it returns for you to find your answer. The ideas I got in this thread reduced my stress level...

I guess I need to refine my question. First off, it was April and it was chilly and damp so the idea of keeping sun and dust off their noggins seemed a bit overkill. More to the point they showed up to the class wearing them and left wearing them. I don't get it. Maybe that is the bottom...

I hope I spelled that right ... shemaugh .... those middle eastern looking wrap things that go around your face or head I guess. At any rate, is there any good purpose for these in everyday life? I was at a shooting school a little while back and two young bucks (early 20's I think) were...

Not sure what is going on but over the past 10-12 months I've bent the zip spindle on two of my .223 and one .45 decapping dies. For those not familiar with Hornady decapping dies anatomy the zip spindle holds the actual decapping pin and that is held in place by a expander decap retainer that...

My LnL didn't come with a baffle. Had it about 4-5 years now. Fortunately, my powder meters pretty consistently. It doesn't like the extruded powders though.

Tried the THR search feature but for some reason unknown to me I keep getting a totally blank page. All I would like to know is if crimping .223 cases is necessary.

Had a wonderfully sunny and warm day here in the Pacfic "Northwet" to go put 120 rounds down range with my new handgun. In the hand it feels just like any other XD with the exception of the grip being a bit more "aggressive" in terms of its surface texture. I tried all three backstraps that...

Well today I let ammo availability dictate my new handgun purchase in terms of caliber. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=513367 In my area I can find lots of .40 but 9mm is hit and miss and I haven't seen any .45 in 6 weeks. Because the XDm in .40 can have a 9mm barrel conversion...

Ordered up a new XDm 3.8 in .40 today. First gun store I went to wanted $700. Ouch! I went to a friends pawn/resale store and his "gun guy" ordered me up the XDm for $548. Woot!!! Coming Friday and I can hardly wait. This will be my carry gun so I am thinking that I might look into the...
