Update--better late than never. Well, my last post on this thread said it would be a while before I could try again. I was right. I took the remainder of my troublesome batch of reloads (the ones with the Wolf primers) and disassembled them leaving the primers intact. I ran them through...

A lot of good advice here. +1 on the corneredcat website. I'm male but I also went through the phase where I thought everyone knew. (they really are for the most part clueless). However, that is if you have done your part at developing your carry method properly. You didn't say what size...

Carry the best way you can manage I agree mostly with the above. I also see good logic in the other side of the discussion. I don't think any nationally known firearms instructor will advocate pocket (or any other deep concealment) carry as a preferred carry method. Most of those people...

Good on ya! Hope it works out well and everybody behaves themselves. Successful implementation of practices like this (and Utah's school carry) is what eventually will make it easier for similar laws in other parts of the country to be implemented. It may take a while, but when people realize...

Many choices out there, so.... Do your research, ask other owners, shoot it if possible, then make the purchase. There are so many ways to spend your firearm dollars. Only you can decide what is right for you. If you don't want to buy a firearm with a recommended break-in period, then by...

Thanks to everyone. I will try again on a hundred or so with the primer seating adjustment bottomed out on the press and seat them as deep as possible. Unfortunately, it may be a while before I can get to the range to try them out. I will report the results as soon as I can.

Floydster: Sorry for the omission. That would be 40 S&W (small pistol primers). Will I have problems doing this with the Dillon SDB?

Could this be my problem with Wolf? This thread is very interesting for me because I recently made a big buy of Wolf during the primer shortage after having used Winchester successfully for several years. The first 100 I loaded with the Wolf was giving me about a 30% failure rate. This was...

I think maybe #1 or #3 I voted #3. I'd like to think everything will improve for the gun community, but got to believe the anti's will never really quit. I think of it sort of like the soviet bloc and the cold war. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when the Berlin wall came down and...

Oilman: As KR said, many states have much more friendly laws for CCW than NJ. Since you are new here (I am too, but been lurking for years) you will soon learn about that. That's the good thing about forums like this. People in different states (and foreign countries) discussing the RKBA is a...

Pretty much whenever I can legally, including at home. Granted, I can't at work, but otherwise yes. I am in an urban environment and have developed a CCW set-up which is a compromise between concealability and firepower (i.e. a small 9mm with premium short-barrel ammo, plus extra magazines for...

Many good points in previous posts. Some of this is a repeat: 1. Get enough gun handling practice to be completely familiar with your handgun. 2. Make sure you have a good holster made for that handgun which completely covers the trigger. 3. A useful thing for a "newbie" at CCW is to carry...

I live in a suburb of Memphis. Safer than Memphis, but you know they don't have a ten foot fence with razor wire to keep the gremlins from coming to my town. Gremlins drive cars too. As someone else said, the small pocket pistols nowadays makes it easy to keep armed at all times. Mine...

All good suggestions above. Consider iron security door for the slider. They make double ones, but they're pricey. You are right to think about the egress windows. They need to be hardened. Get the security system installed if possible. Take the wife to the range and find a weapon she can...

Not happy with Cabella's My Cabella's experience---Ordered two 4 pound jugs of powder and 10k of small pistol Winchester primers at $29 per thousand in May. The powder came in after a couple of months but the primers were back ordered. They notified me by email for a few months, but then...
