So far, I have not seen any issue in seating depth. But to be fair, I have only loaded <100 rounds with these.

That's why I had to get one of these ...

Again, thanks for all of the input. One reason I asked about the carbide is that on the instructions I have for a RCBS die set I have, says carbide recommended for nickel. Forward I go!

Thanks for the feedback. Didn't want to go down a rabbit hole with a badger at the end if I could avoid it. Most of my cases came from once fired Federal factory ammo with some brass casing from other brands. My Tikka shoots the Federal well, so I have a bunch of it.

I am new to reloading bottleneck cases. Have nearly 100 once fired nickel plated cases (Federal) in 7 MM RM. I have been told nickel can be reloaded. Any tips or pointers? Do you need carbide dies?

It is happening here in the Midwest (IN/IL). In last 2 weeks have received notice that 3 processors are temporarily closing in the middle of deer season. Spoke with one owner and he said that the deer coming in was about normal, but they are were and continue to be overloaded on their primary...

Carry my LCP 75% of the time. No issues in nearly 500 rounds at the range.

No underwear ... No need to know!

I must say I carry my S&W Shield most of the time (90%). This has been primarily for concealment reasons. I am smaller in stature and find it more difficult to conceal a full size. But when cooler weather comes I wil carry a GP100 or 1911. Love the GP100 but best to wear the suspenders when it...

For me I chose the S&W Shield in 9mm. Has been very reliable and conceals well. Handles well and for me has been pretty accurate.

Maybe I am lazy, but I didn't want to change my barrel out with changing seasons. Or maybe I just used it as an excuse to buy another gun.

Rabbits can and will remain very still. I have often hunted them without use of dogs and have literally stepped on them before they moved. First rabbit I ever killed was with a BB gun at ten feet. That was just 50+ years ago.

Hope you enjoy that lost treasure.

I can say I have never experienced a single issue with FFL that I have used 100% of the time. Small LGS where you know the owner by name. I have purchased several guns from him as well as multiple transfers. Great place with only a $10 FFL (+ shipping if outgoing).
