No Dude: ...THIS is kinda kooky. LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymUhWPte67Q

1) SCOTUS ruled you have unlimited right to contract. When you sign government papers, such as a drivers license, you are signing a contract. That's why I made a point of not signing anything, and don't have any of those "contracts". 2) 2nd Amendment to Federal Constitution has NOT been...

Thank you Patriot Henry, expvideo, and Officers'Wife - thank you for understanding the "forest" of the case without getting hung up in the "trees." Your kind thoughts and support are much appreciated. This is all just one more thing - heaped upon all the others - that we have to get through...

On October 10 2008, my wife and I were leaving Manchester, NH to return home. We were pulled over by the Manchester police. We were asked for license, registration, etc, and after the officer was not satisfied with our answers, without even calling it in, he asked me to step out of our truck...

Man, you did great New, the stamped guns retail for around $575. Is it stamped or milled? Ammo is currently next to impossible to get - seems to be somehow linked with the shortage of 7.62 x 39, but rumor has it that a lot of corrosive ammo is on its way in - so you'll be able to shoot...

Holy smokes! 1550 FPS? :what: Are you sure it's still a bullet and not a bolus of molten lead when it exits the muzzle? :p Is there a lot of muzzle flash and unburnt powder with the AA9? What primer are you using? LP or LPM? When you load that high, are you using initially newly...

Thanks Folks! It not that I absolutely don't want to modify the press, it's just that I want to make sure there isn't something simple I can nudge before resorting to more work-intensive and less reversible changes. After seeing what some people can do to a gun with a file or a Dremmel...

Man, So much for spurring what I thought would be really educational discussion and a grand oportunity for me to learn a LOT. Looks like all I did was shut down the thread. :( Topgunner

Primer back-out I prepped a bunch of brass for loading Speer 240 gr Gold Dots (#4455 Which Speer annoyingly has no loading data for) and worked from 12.3 [starting load for other 240 gr bullets] to 13.7 [max load] HS-6. CCI large pistol magnum primers, rounds crimped into bullet cannelure...

So, I've noticed that while operating the press, I get a failure to feed a round into the case arm - it hangs up on the edge of the case arm bushing. I called Dillon and they said there was no way to adjust the press. There's a little screw that the case arm hits which acts as a stop, but it...

Over-crimping I read the two gun boards threads, and I'm wondering if part of the problem is over-crimping the case necks. I can't find the excellent discussion of this phenomenon (maybe in the Hornady manual?), but the idea was that upon crimping the case neck, both the brass and the bullet...

Known bullets include: 85 gr SIE RN, 100 gr Speer RN-SP, Speer 110 gr HP, 100 gr Speer RN-SP, 100 gr Speer RNFMJ, 110 gr HDY JRN, 100 gr HDY SJ, and 110 gr HDY RN. I'm not currently aware of bullets >110 gr for M1 carbine. If you load a round backwards, you might be able to acheive a...

Um, OK, so what does that mean? Slow powders aren't used with light bullets? Educated guess: Does the inertia of the heaviers bullets and relatively longer barrel transit time allow for more complete burning of the powder? I thought the standard bullet weight for 0.30 M1 carbine was 110...

I use Break free for general-purpose CLP, but prefer Birchwood Casey "Sheath" for rust prevention. I'm not familiar with Eezox or Gun Juice - I'll try them out. Break Free makes special products for storing guns ("Collector"), and other manufacturers have things like Vapor Phase Rust...

It just goes to show that your milage may vary. Reloader Fred: I shot a few boxes of the S&B in my H&K USP Compact, and every round was keyholing at 7+ yards! I'd be interested in comparing barrel dimensions for different manufacturers as well as mic'ing the bullets from various...

Slow burning AA#9 is a real slow burner, and gives me a lot of powder residue and muzzle flash. I'm going to experiment with something that burns a little faster and see what that gets me. From what I've read, the pros of AA9 are that it completely fills the case making overloading next to...

Speed up powder measure calibration Measure out the proper amount of powder on the scale and fill a primed case. Use the filled case to quickly adjust the powder checking system at Station 3. Loading cases at Station 2 and eyeballing the results at station 3 allows you to quickly...

Difficulty chambering cartridges I did a bunch of measuring, and I think that the COL may be just a tad too long. It was hard to tell, but plotting the data in Excel made it easier to see. (damn, it was all layed out in nice easy-to-read columns in the reply window, but it gets messed up...

RyanM - thanks for pointing out that the armor should FIT. Manufacturer's point this out in their catalogs, but the importance of proper fit might not be adequately communicated to someone buying used BA. I started getting annoyed at the vest shifting around and riding up on me - making it...

Just some more stupid stuff After wondering what exactly constituted a "sturdy" reloading bench, I vented some aggravation on the press handle while seating the primers on some more 44 mags, and I noticed the bench squeaked and wiggled back & forth. :scrutiny: The backboard (which is anchored...
