    Is this the best reloading forum?

    As muddy dog said, this has the highest constant activity and thus the most knowledge for overall reloading. I also visit castboolits because sometimes I have a casting/reloading issues or questions. But for general reloading networking and knowledge this has the deepest knowledge. Also realize...

    i need to speed up weighing charges.

    I have the RCBS uniflow and it meters great with most everything, gives me a little trouble with stick powder like 3031, but ball powder is very smooth and accurate. I also have the hornady version on my L-n-L and it's just as good. The best for accuracy I have is the RCBS charge master combo...

    What would happen?

    If it's a true double charge, meaning it's 5.5 grains more you might be able to put them on an electronic scale and see if one is 4-5 grains heavy compared to all the others. There are always differences in total weight because the brass might be a few grains different that others and the bullet...

    .45 ACP crimping question

    I read the lee instructions in your link and at the bottom of step 5 it talks about crimping just a bit. Most die sets will seat and crimp at the same time but the crimp is a roll crimp. I won't go into more in depth explanation because previous posts have done a much better job than I could...

    .45 ACP crimping question

    Can't add any more info to this except , if you are getting a new set up dies, hornady makes a seater/taper crimp die now. Keeps you from having to buy a fourth separate taper crimp die.

    Toomey-Manchin Text Released Embrace the Suck

    What is expanded on "expanded Background checks" After reading all the news recently i can't seem to find and answer or maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing. When they say Expanded background checks, what is expanded about them? They are checking a great amount of transactions? or are they...

    Springfield XDS shortage?

    I was curious if there were manufacturing issues at springfield. One Salesperson claims spingfield is only producing frames as fast as they can and not assembling to get as many frames complete before the ban, incase it happens. I work in the manufacture business (not guns) and I can tell you...

    Springfield XDS shortage?

    I "per-paid" and on a wait list of a large sporting goods chain, but its been almost a month. They haven't gotten any in almost 3 months. Just wondered how some gun shops get 5 or 9 at a time and large ones don't get any.

    Springfield XDS shortage?

    i never see them and always "hear" of some that "just got sold'. I think I've missed 6-8 if you believe the gun show guys and LGS. I know i missed one by 10 minutes because the buys was still filling out the paper work when i walked up. Anyone know why there are so few coming from...

    I just wasn't sure the situation last time, and why it wasn't challenged.

    AW Ban, Constitutional? WHat about last time

    I've been reading trying to keep up with everything going on this time around. I don't think any of the proposed legislation Fed or State will change anything for stopping crime or increasing safety. I was wondering if a weapons ban is in fact un-constitutional, why wasn't it challenged last...

    What kind of bullet molds to you like best?

    I started with Lee molds because I was on a budget, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to stick with it, so large investment wouldn't work. I bought a 2 cavity mold and then a 6. now I have several 6s, 2s and custom 4s. they all work great, you have to take care of them, routine maintenance and...

    Is There an Answer???

    what I don't understand is no one is looking further. I mean let's say they find a way to protect kids at school, obviously that's a big IF, with no real security solutions on the horizon. what about everywhere else? Church? daycare? children museums? dentist office? The list goes on and...

    Follow Up: What’s wrong with the finish of this Taurus 85UL?

    I read your original post and all replies, I'm not sure what you did to refinish your revolver but it looks great! I'd like to know what you did. Again I'd be proud to carry that gun. I can't say I'm a "fan of Tarus" since I don't own one, but of those I've shot I was pleasantly surprised...
