    Thats a little better...

    Actually used the rustoleum hammered line of paints I used the deep green to build up a few coats then hit it with a fine mist of verde green to lighten it up just a tad.

    Thats a little better...

    I picked up a bunch of reloading equipment from a guy I work with a few months back. I really didnt need any of it so i was just going to try to flip it. Well, i changed my mind. It wasnt in bad shape, but it was all pretty old and worn out looking. The press is a RCBS JR2 from the late 60's...

    Power Pistol in .45-very loud!

    Power pistol is my go-to powder for anytime i shoot at the indoor range with my 9, or 45. it does draw a little attention. i prefer 7.5gr with a 230gr bullet as well. tried 7.7 but the 7.5 was a little easier on the hands. Video my buddy took of my sr1911 http://youtu.be/r1dinvuJB4A

    Shooting my RCBS Turret Press

    I had the same press for a year. Had a couple of the same problems. The cheap primer catcher and the hole through the ram that caught stray primers. other than that, it was a wonderful press. ended up selling it just to but a progressive. Funny side note, i somehow lost the retaining clip...

    What rifle do i need? -- UPDATE, RIFLE CHOSEN!

    I am not too experienced shooting too many rifles, but this one definitely performs straight off the shelf. Once i get a few hundred rounds through it I'll be able to answer a little better, but so far so good. Only problem i had was the stock magazine sometimes didn't want to feed the last...

    What rifle do i need? -- UPDATE, RIFLE CHOSEN!

    Update: Rifle chosen Just an update to this thread... I ended up picking up a Ruger American in .223. Ended up getting it brand new for 299 and put a decent bushnell scope on it. Managed to put a few rounds through it so far. Shot a couple boxes of factory 55gr pmc rounds at 100 yards...

    Shining a Light on One Cause of Pistol Inconsistency

    4.3 gr of green dot shot drastically better than 3.9 gr of green dot for me. I dont have pictures of the difference, but at 7 yards, 3.9 looked like yours, but 4.3 looked about 1/2 of the size of your fmj target.

    best primer tube filler

    I let my daughter do the same. She asks me almost daily if I'm "gonna load bullets" because she likes boxing them up and counting them.

    Awesome RCBS customer service

    Recently broke the decapping pin on my .223 die. Sent RCBS an email saying i bent it, and asked how to get a new one (or two)... They replied saying they'd ship one out for me for FREE. Couple days later it showed up..... Except this is what I got. 5 Decapping pins, along with a...

    Powder from 2 different lots

    very rarely do you find much difference between 2 lots of powders. I recently ran into one issue though. i load imr 4895 for .223 and use a lee pro auto disk to dispense the powder. ive loaded thousands of rounds using the same size hole in the disks. i always get 23.5 +/- .1 which is good...

    embarrassing mistake

    not quite reloading related, but embarrassing nonetheless. Picked up a new rifle, and scope a couple days ago. Went to sight in the scope yesterday. Got almost dead on after a couple shots, but noticed my shots were still about 1" to the left @ 100 yards. Packed up and went inside. While...
