    How clean for brass, part deux (w/ visual aid)

    I'd dump the Speer, only because their brass is crap. Other than that; I'd load it all. You'd hate to see what I shoot on a regular basis.

    Powderpuff .45ACP target loads

    I don't think so, just some 'non-sense.' I like cheap powders, so whatever is on sale is ok for me. Right now its Ramshot Zip at $12 per pound (when buying 4 pounds at a time) from powder valley.

    Where do you order your reloading supplies?

    Get a business license and you can order from Black Hills Shooters Supply. Good prices on some things, not so good on others. All prices include shipping. Powder Valley also offers a dealers and FFL discount, so pony up the $10 per year and get your 06 FFL.

    IMR 800x metering problems

    700x and 800x are extremely hard to meter. I've used everything from a Redding BR, to a Bonanza BR, to a RCBS BR, to a Dillon measure... even a Lee Perfect powder measure and a lee auto disk measure. Its a shotgun powder that measures the best with a charge bar, not a revolving cylinder. I...

    medical assistance to BG

    I had a man who tried to kill my friends in my gunsight. I shot him in the head, so I thought. About two hours later we made it to his position, he was still breathing and in terrible agony. "Screw his agony" was the general response... I couldn't let another of God's children die alone. I...

    Can you ask a officer to disarm?

    What does SWAT have to do with anything? And yes, it does. They are the guys that come out to my range all the time to learn how to shoot and break things the MOUT way.

    reloading Equipment

    I have both a Type 6 and 7 FFL and I use a 550 on my loading line for some calibers. We also have several Super 1050's and one CAMDEX machine. If you don't need mass mass quantities a 550 will suit you just fine for many things. I do quite a bit of obscure caliber reloadin on my 550 cause...

    Can you ask a officer to disarm?

    Sure you can require that as part of allowing him to enter your domicile. In fact you could demand that of anyone on your property assuming they aren't there to arrest you or investigating a crime that took place on your property, or preserving evidence. Remember, you aren't obligated to allow...

    What edit? I don't see anything different. Word-for-word its the same far as I can tell. I wasn't in a spat either, just repeating my opinion.

    Single stage gotchas?

    What fiddling with the balance beam? My two ancient Lyman/Ohaus M-5's are completely accurate, compared to eachother and against a professional labratory scale. When I first pull them out I calibrate them against known 260.9 grain calibration weights (only touched with tweezers), then...

    medical assistance to BG

    Yes, in fact I am. I went to both the Army Combat Lifesaver's course and the German Army Field Medic's course. Although my primary duties are combat arms EVERY soldier is trained to give aid to shot-to-hell people. Some of us more than others. Glad I live in a state where anyone...

    Yet another stupid question

    I have installed zirc's (grease fittings) on all of my presses, progressive and single stage. I use a molybdenum grease intended for CV joints. Its a lightweight grease that migrates. Good stuff. When the ram gets sticky, I take the press apart and clean the surfaces (takes only minutes)...

    Powderpuff .45ACP target loads

    Off hand. I do a lot of bullseye shooting, its kinda 'my thing.' When I use a rest (my buddy a retired Command Sergeant Major, Army Marksmanship Unit, has a ransom rest) I can get one hole, about 3/4" in diameter. The USP ELITE is really a fantastically accurate piece out of the box with...

    Powderpuff .45ACP target loads

    I like 4.2 grains of WIN WST with a 200 grain HC lead bullet OR 4.4 grains of WIN 231 with the same bullet. I prefer the RNFP .452 diameter Laser cast or Meister cast. They work reliably in all my HK USP's including my Elite and my Tanfoglio Witness compact. They have worked in...

    Single stage gotchas?

    I hate digital scales, they never work quite right for me. I much prefer my ancient Lyman/Ohaus M-5 balance beam scales. The RCBS 10-10 and the Dillon Eliminator scale are also excellent.

    K31, am I expecting too much from my reloads?

    Graf and Sons had Privi Partisan brass in stock the other day, less than $40.00 per hundred. I'm still using .284 winchester brass opened up to .30 cal. I get 3/4" groups regularly at 100M following the reloading instructions on Swissrifles.com.

    Anyone else ever pneumatically driven a press?

    I have a Ponsness/Warren 800B shotshell reloader with the hydraulic power unit. It is great.. when it works. When it doesn't it makes a real mess of things. Although I've never had a primer detonate. Its pretty slow, in comparison to my arm. I can turn out nearly 1/3rd more with Col...
