    Dillon xl750 swageit void warranty?

    I do the same thing. It doesn't take long to get a feel for it. You simply adjust it to Swage more than any case brand will actually take and go by feel. I've done thousands of pieces of brass this way.

    Need help deciding what rifle

    If you ever want to upgrade anything and/or rebarrel easily (prefit barrel) the Tikka is your best option. The Browning is more of a hunting rifle with little aftermarket support and had a rather light barrel profile for range use. Replacing the barrel on the Bergara means a trip to a smith or...

    Anyone here have a Tikka CTR?

    It's 0MOA plus the middle of each picatinny section has been removed so rings/mounts with only lugs in the center of the rail won't work. I wound up using a Nightforce Unimount on mine.

    9mm frangible load data

    Do they have data for Hodgdon Universal in there for the 100gr bullets in 9mm? I don't have mine handy. ETA: Nevermind.....I should have read further down :) Do they list an OAL length for the 100gr bullets?

    Road trip. Need help with Nebraska and Iowa Laws.

    Actually I believe you can carry in Lincoln. I haven't ever heard/read anything to the contrary. You can carry in Omaha too if you register your firearm with OPD beforehand. You can't carry in Hastings btw.

    Cleaning Carry Pistol

    Mine gets lint on it too. It comes off when fired. I also don't like carrying a newly cleaned gun as I don't trust it until I put a few rounds through it. I don't care if it is dirty as long as it goes bang. I'm not talking thousands a rounds between cleanings but a couple hundred won't...

    Nebraska Get Together, June 7, 2008 in Grand Island!

    I'll be there and will bring Jeff too. Do you know strat81 if the 600 yd range is open yet? I need to shoot this weekend and this looks to be the only game in town since the Central City range is under water LOL!

    indestructible bullet puller?

    I would just spend the money on the collet type bullet puller for your single stage press. I know it isn't the answer you were probably looking for but that is what I am going to do. The RCBS, Hornady, and Wilson all seem to be good choices from what I have seen/read.

    A-MERC Brass

    I also have had problems getting it to stay belled after doing so. It seems to go right back to where it was.

    Dillon 550B and powder check system possible ?

    For .223 on my 550B I use H335 which meters +/- .1gr consistently. I would not use Varget in the Dillon powder measure. After loading I shake each cartridge and verify (by sound/feel) that there is powder in each case. Is it a perfect method...no, however, it works for me.

    A compeling reason to carry lots of ammo.

    Levan, Most 9mm/40 S&W/357 Sig guns (ie G19, G23, G32) are the same frame so saying that higher caliber guns are bulkier is a false statement in most cases. You do lose 2-3 rounds of capacity going to a 40 S&W/357 Sig but you have a more potent caliber even though a 9mm w/ proper ammunition is...

    Renter's remorse

    Oh no. The battle is already over and you have lost :) You could try to find a 1911 in 9mm/.40 S&W. I am eventually going to do that since they are significantly cheaper to reload for. Edit: This one is calling my name...

    New carry pistols for my girl & I

    Comapred to my G23 the XD40 has a shorter trigger reach imo so if she has small hands I wouldn't rule the XD out for her. Have you looked at the S&W M&P series yet? With them having adjustable backstraps they may suit both of you. I haven't been able to shoot one yet but want to. As far as...

    would the g20 or g29 need a stronger spring?

    I don't think you NEED a different recoil spring unless you are going with nuclear loads in the G20 (I have never used a G29). I have never shot a factory round of 10mm through mine. Reloading for them isn't an issue though. As with all things work up your load and you will be fine. Here...

    Whats the best 223 silencer, for the $$$

    Thunderbeast Suppressors have been getting high praise on SnipersHide. http://thunderbeastarms.com/ It is a company founded by Zak Smith and a couple of others and based on what I have read of his over there I believe he knows what he is talking about as well.

    Tax rebate. How will you spend it? (Merged threads)

    I *want* a mid-length upper for a new AR but I am closing on a house on the 9th so that isn't probably going to happen. I feel guilty enough about getting 4 PMAG's to try out with my current AR from Brownell's today. I am already starting to miss the day's of rent as my mortgage w/ insurance...

    Hidden Gun Stores

    There is a motorcycle dealership in a town near me that has a very respectable gun and ammo inventory. You would never know it driving by as it isn't advertised at all.
