Wow! Into page 6 and never saw my one and only. 7.62x40WT. .223 or 5.56 brass cut down to 40mm with a 110-150 gr. .308 bullet. Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat did a lot of load developement and sells the dies, barrels, and brass on his store's website. Very similar to 300 Blackout, but smaller...

One metric poop-ton of GREAT info on this thread!

That's the way I do it. Set 20 or 30 up in an ammo holder and spray lube. Set it up close to the main source of brass for the press, and use one of the lubed ones every tenth or twelth cycle.

Well done Kodiak! I'm glad the result was everything you had hoped for. Hats off to YOU!!!

I would definitely try out IDPA. Just advise them that this is your first time and don't tell them the way you shoot. Listen to the match director and safety officers. They are only there to keep everyone safe and insure the rules are followed. Once they see that you are safe handling your...

I am a big fan of IonBond DLC (Diamond like coating). I have my 4th 1911 at my gunsmith's prepping for that very finish. The first gun that I bought with it already was about 2 and half years and 3000 rounds old, and the finish was indistinguishable from new. It looks like a really nice blue...

I think a lot of it has to do with the weight of what is ejecting. Fully loaded cases don't give me near as much trouble as empty cases. For depriming, I just use my single stage.

Good advice given so far. If you find yourself seeing the same people walking the aisles with you, aisle after aisle, write down where you deviate, and deviate! Most of the good deals are people walking around. You will find a large cross section of good 'ol boys, a ton of grumpy old guys...

I had heard that SS tumbling gets the brass too clean. That's why I size before wet tumbling.

My pin method for rifle brass: decap, trim and/or anneal(if necessary), lube, size, wet tumble, prime, charge, seat, & shoot. I also use the lanolin & alcohol formula.

This needs to be seen by everyone! Share everywhere!

Saw this guy on the Blue forum, Not all firearms, but beautiful engraving. http://weldonlister-engraving.typepad.com/photos/firearns_engraving/#tp Here is a link to the calendar info. http://smith-wessonforum.com/accessories-misc-sale-trade/167657-2011-engraving-calendar.html

Me too. (I'm local)

Might also look into safe rooms; i.e. tornado reinforced shelter intallation companies. That still wont help you with the vault door, but the may know a guy.;)

Stage 3 is a bullseye course, with a little movement thrown in. Take your time and get your hits.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! This is a 3 year old thread!

I do not trust the 1911, I trust MY 1911s.

We often use one at our IDPA matches, but the cruel MD uses the top position as a no-shoot!:cuss:

C&L, that chrome and blue looks pretty awesome together!

I agree with country rebel. This made a world of difference in mine and is a very cheap fix. Invest in the XD tear down & re-assembly video while your at it and you should have no problems. A great trigger and video reference for ~$70.00.
