    Resizing rings/slivers

    Gamestalker was pretty close... the threads on the press are ok, the threads on the die are too fine/loose. Had a machinist check the die over. Ne noted the threads were too fine/loose by using a thread sizing gage for what they should be. He demonstrated his point by putting a locking ring...

    Resizing rings/slivers

    I've never had a case in the shell holder when installing the die... directions said to raise the ram with shell holder installed, then thread in die until it made contact and go 1/4 turn further, then lock. I'll see what this does before discounting the Redding die (in addition to polishing...

    Resizing rings/slivers

    Thanks for the replies. I use Imperial Sizing Wax. I've considered over- or under- lubrication and gone to both extremes with no changes in results. It works fine for my 9mm and .308 reloads. I clean dies before and after each use, and every 100 rounds through them while using them. The...

    Resizing rings/slivers

    I have this issue running on a different forum I visit and am getting some mixed responses. Figured I'd run it by you guys here as well. When I am resizing my 223 brass (Redding dies, RCBS Rockchucker Press) I am getting some rub marks, which I am told by correspondence with Redding, is...

    Abramski v U.S. Supreme Court Decision (Straw Purchase case)

    Also... My sister bought me a brand new Browning BPS Stalker shotgun one year. We went to the store, picked it out, told the guy behind the counter that she was buying the gun for me. He had her fill out the 4473, run the check, came back approved, ran her credit card then before...

    Abramski v U.S. Supreme Court Decision (Straw Purchase case)

    Back when I was younger and living in California (doing volunteer work with LA County Sheriff while getting my college degree in Criminal Justice) if you were pulled over by a police officer, say, for turning without using a signal, and he saw a baseball bat on your back seat as he approached...

    Cats and Guns.....Don't ask......

    My cat Kasparov (after the Russian chess player) but we call him "Kaspy". And after a productive reloading session, we join one of our other cats, Snape in watching some TV... I have a few other firearm related cat photos i've found on the net over the years at this link...

    Looking for a 2nd press...

    I'm not going to recommend a Lee single stage press for the jobs you described. A Lee Hand Press however, seems perfect. That is how I use a universal decapper for all my brass, can do it in bed, on the patio, heck, could use it in the restroom if I wanted to. Primer catch? they all fall...

    "The Press" up in arms over LA privacy law

    Just like freedom of speech does not cover standing up in a crowded building and yelling "fire" for the heck of it, or include cussing at someones kids because you feel like "exercising your right". Personal rights do not include violating or infringing on the rights of others. Of course...

    backordered mags how long?

    One of our LGS's has a facebook page. I have them "liked" so I see their daily and weekly updates. They get a few in at a time, announce it on facebook, and first come first serve, usually with limits per customer per day (same with ammo). But they are getting them a couple of times per...

    what powder for 308Win??

    I also use V-V N140 and N150, they are a bit pricier ($4-$8/lb) but tend to be in stock at our local walk in, because no one really uses them because they never worked up loads with them before the shortage because they cost more... They are a very consistent powder. VihtaVuori also has a...

    Police Searching Homes

    Didn't say it was 2/3 probability, saying 2/3 scenarios where you deny the officers permission, you could be doing so, with a bad day in store for the cop. Like the second poster said, your Constitutional rights are protected against "unreasonable" search and seizure. A terrorist man hunt...

    Missouri Second Amendment Preservation Act Passes House. SENATE HEARING TOMORROW 4/24

    I don't like the weather here, but the political climate (outside of St Louis and KC) is excellent. I live 10 minutes from MidwayUSA and 30 from Graf & Sons, with 4 local gun stores in town, an indoor shooting range in one of them, an outdoor range with 25/50/50/100 yard ranges 10 minutes up the...

    Police Searching Homes

    Consider the position of the police. Scenario 1: bad guy is in your house against your will, and tells you to send the cops on their merry way when they knock or you/loved ones are going to die. - You tell the cops to leave. Scenario 2: bad guy is in your house and you are aiding/abetting...

    I live in MO and have CCW. All the articles I have found, state or imply that the list was handed over by MO State Troopers, to a federal investigator in St Louis investigating Social Security fraud. The fraud being investigated, was those claiming mental illness/disability who might have a...
