I use the Factory Crimp Die for my 357s, fairly certain it will fix your issues. Don't use one for my 45s (ACP or Colt). Don't have the same need...

Have you mentored him on how to read a load manual? I read through Modern Reloading so many times before setting up for the first cartridge! Was very useful to discover pressure and how it's affected by faster/slower powders and heavier/lighter bullets. Made choosing my initial powders quite...

If you're looking to encourage them, and it fits the budget, get them what they want. Their tastes and preferences will change as they develop and they'll probably shoot many guns before settling on what works best for them. Maybe it won't be the perfect gun - so what? Sell it and buy...

Yeah, but that was real, I saw the video with my own eyes. ;) Would have loved to see his casting setup, given that silver doesn't melt until north of 1700 degrees. Of course, since he owned a silver mine...

Seriously? You have money, they want it. Just don't see it playing out that way...

None.

Wondering about what kind of range you're shooting at and what kind of things you wanting to transport. Certainly the solution for moving a couple shotguns and 200 shells through a sporting clays course will be different than getting from the car to the line for action pistol/revolver shooting..

I clean my brass before reloading. I mean - right before reloading, using Nu-Finish in the walnut or corncob mix. You'll want those cases lubed for decapping/resizing... :thumbup: Also upgraded the handle on my single stage press. Since I've got a welder and materials, built myself a large...

Wait to make a decision until you're sure. You may yet meet someone to whom the story matters. Time's not up yet and you're not gone.. Heavy factory loads are what got me into reloading. Create your own lighter loads and see how you like the gun then.

Folklore from my youth, heard for many decades now: more 22s are ruined from to much cleaning than from to much shooting... My Ruger Super Single Six has somewhere north of 20k rounds through it. It's stainless and looks great - but I don't clean it very often. Wipe down yes, push a patch...

Yes, you're overthinking it. But - to thine own self be true...

Not confident at all, just wasn't seeing a scenario like the one you described. Understand your position a bit better now. Thank you for the explanation.

What scenario are you seeing, outside that range, that would still be considered "self defense"? Serious question, because I'm drawing a blank...

They might... you think $31k could have bought you international advertising that would get you quoted and discussed on multiple forums like this one? We're feeding the machine with each view/click of this post...

Who's gun is it? If you're just "borrowing" it for a bit and worried over resale, then don't touch it. Sell it now and buy a gun that can be yours. :thumbup: I've only ever lengthened stock fit with shims and pads... but then, I own my guns.

An LGS has no buying power to leverage, no volume. Maybe a pallet here or there, but not a weekly truck load like a national chain could...

Pool, darts, golf, etc... they are all the same as shooting/archery/slingshots. Muscle/eye/breathing/nerve control while taking a small object from "here" and placing it very precisely over "there". Would enjoy a game of pool very much, let's do it. ;)

To quote MIB: "There's always an alien battle cruiser or a Korilian death ray or intergalactic plague that's about to wipe out life on this miserable planet." Ignore them completely, turn off the TV/Radio, stop reading news sites and quit listening to "the sky is falling" folks. Your outlook...

Yes it is. Nobody spreads panic/rumors faster than shooters. "Prices are going to go up!" Gee, really? During a time of inflation prices will go up? "There's going to be a shortage!" Yeah, because now we feel that we have to buy everything at any price before it disappears. And that's...

Well, there are three questions there: 1) Is it really ODC? No, but some folks enjoy drama and being dramatic. Mayo Clinic has better information on the actual disease. 2) What do y'all think? That mental health issues are not all that funny... 3) Other than aesthetics is there any advantage...
