Do not span from the upper to the float tube. Most times the float-tube is not lined up with the receiver and the spacing changes between the two, you could have problems or damage the scope.

I would shy away from the XD. My acadamy class was told not to buy them or bring them to the range because the mags are to fragile when doing reload drills, when the mags hit the ground the feed lips break.

Just buy it and hide it I've done it over 60 times. and some of them have been things like a Barrett 82 and a registered M16. learn to keep a slush fund that she doesnt know about.

Find out what they train with at the acadamy and do yourself a favor and buy that gun. It never hurts to have more anyway and chances are your agency will also have that gun on their approved list. Most acadamy firearms instructors teach around a specific pistal and you'll have an eiser time in...

H335 will work along with Varget or W748. 748 and H335 have been better for .223 loads then Varget for me.

I would stay away from one that has straight sides on it I have a RCBS, 2 Lyman and 1Cabelas tumbler and the Cabelas is my least favorite because the media can spill out if you run it without the lid while you add brass.

I have a bunch of .458 SOCOM brass made by Starline and it is very hard. If you dont lube the crap out of it you will get stuck cases.

I'll set the expander stem back up so it gives a look between the two but is it possible that having hard brass might be a problem? I'll take a picture of the loaded nds so you all can see how the bullets are deforming.

Ive played with all three of those. Ive been using a belling die but all the ones I can find are .457 so I thought I would see if I could get one that is in the .460 - .465 range and then taper crimp them after I seat.

I have been loading some soft point copper jacketed 405gr .458 bullets for 458 SOCOM and the bullets keep getting deformed does anybody have any suggestions? Jon

New I was thinking of doing an epoxy floor, the benches sit on 6" stainles legs and if I epoxy the floor I hope it would be eisier to sweep and then If another pipe breaks I wont have to move the benches and pull out another wood floor. Has anybody ever tried the epoxy?

Well my loading room I posted back on pg 37 flooded last weekend and I had to pull the wood floor out and throw it all away. Does anybody have any suggestions for a new floor?

The liability insurance will cost about 2500.00 a year but is charged depending on how much you produce. I was quoted 2500.00 if I manufacture 1000rnds a month or less and then if I produce 500K rnds a month the policy will cost 25000.00 a year. Ammo is hard to make money with especially if...

I'm sittin in my shop downstairs reading this thread and the door bell rang. Yes I was expecting a package. I ran from my basement to the front door and when I opened the door the UPS driver was pullin away, Man they are fast it took me less then 10 seconds to open the door. At least he left the...

Standing in the pits pulling targets one day at a 50 cal 1000yrd match I had a round go through the target bounce out of the burm and land near my feet. After marking my shooters target i reached down and burnt the crap out of two of my fingers. The projectile was a 800gr solid. I would think it...
