    I don't think Ill be double charging any cases for now because I spent more money on equipment than I thought I was going to so I just got this http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-Powder-Measure-Kit/dp/B000N8OIE8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391479082&sr=8-1&keywords=lee+powder+dipper to charge the cases for now.

    Be careful with those things.  I know it sounds crazy but practice.  Put scoop after scoop on the scale so you can see how much you vary.  Work on technique til you get your charge to charge variation as low as possible.  I doubt you will be off enough to do any harm but you can and most likely will see it in accuracy if your charges vary too much.

    Been looking for it. Cannot find it anywhere yet.  Interested in trying it in 9MM 124s FN and 147s RN.   However not going to wait forever for it to show up on the market.

    Me either.  If/when I do find it I will give it a try and update this thread.  For now I will keep loading with autocomp since I have a few pounds.

    I haven't tried "CFE Pistol".   I have been using CFE 223 for a while.

     

    CFE 223 I have found versatile and meters very well.  Velocities are also decent.

     

    If "Pistol" is as good I think you will be happy.

     

    I think the "Copper Fouling Eliminator" part I think is a gimick.

    Thats why I am interested in it.  I notices a little bit of a difference with the CFE part.  I see less blue/green on the patch when I exclusively use it.  I the "eliminator" though.

    Its not sensitivity I am after..  It is cup hardness and/or thickness.  When I deprime with the winchester LPP the anvil is not crushed almost flat as it is with the CCI LPP.  What would fix the whole problem is putting a lighter spring on the hammer in this rifle.  Or, start working up a load with LRP and cut the 45 colt pockets a hair deeper.  I would rather not do that though.

    I have been using winchester autocomp in my 40 sw loads for a couple years now.  I dont shoot a comped pistol but it has proven the best for my needs.  I do get a reaonable ammount of copper fowling though.  Hodgdon just came out with the CFE pistol that has charge weight, pressure, and velocity very close to autocomp.  If I can find it I am going to give it a try.  Am I going to me the first?

    Correct.  No FID required for possession. 

    I think where he went wrong is buying it online living here in new jersey.  Remember, only this state considers an air rifle a firearm.  So, in the eyes of the state he purchased a firearm without the proper ID. 

    Im not defending this BS, just pointing out how the law is written.

    Yeah, your not going to find anything out there on the amount of force required to set off a particular primer... you will however find the correlation of competition shooters and there findings in light primer strikes. Just like Alec here, who HAS to use these primers in order to get consistent primer strikes.

    The only real question is not which ones are easier to set off, because we have so many accounts of people having issues with light primer strikes with one brand and no problemo with another... the question is... are the primers actually softer(material) or is the explosive more sensitive?

     

    You could do an experiment to figure it out... get all 4 major companies and a couple springs for a pistol, start with the weak spring and work your way up.. You would find with out question that most primers wont go off with weak springs, but federals will.. and the data will probably become harder to conclude as you increase the spring weight.

     

    So do you believe what one person says on the line?(on-line)

    Or do you believe what an entire community has determined in practice?

     

    The information goes rather uncontested too..

    If I had the time I would do testing on my own.  Rite now i do know that the Winchester primers appear to be harder based on the fact that the cup does not get crushed into oblivion upon firing.  That is what made me question the accepted order of primers.  I will just continue to use them as I am happy with the results.

    I have put well over 10,000 rounds through my 10/22, I wouldn't be suprised if I've put 20,000 rounds through it over 30 years.  Never had an issue with any parts not working.   I once replaced the front sight because I dropped the gun and chipped it.

    Older rugers seem to be of better quality.

    Sorry for your friend.

     

    Here is a description of this scam and instructions where to report it.

     

    http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam

     

    IR-2013-84, Oct. 31, 2013

    WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

     

    Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

     

    “This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country. We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves. Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail

    Other characteristics of this scam include:

    Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.

    Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.

    Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.

    Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.

    Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.

    After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.

    If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:

    If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.

    If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.

    If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.

    Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.

    The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to [email protected].

     

    More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

    From what he tells me that is exactly how it went down.  He should have known better though.  He emigrated here legally 20 years ago!  He is going to contact the IRS tomorrow.

    Even the real IRS is a scam!!

    I could not agree more!

     

    To all..

    It was really hard for me not to scream at him when he told me what he did.  I learned the meaning of bit your tongue for sure.  I try not to freak out at friends but this pushed it hard!  I am still somewhat in shock that he fell for this.  Thats why I figuered I would put it out here.  The people on the phone must have been mighty convincing.  This guy would ask everyone he knows opinion before doing anything financially.  Even his family was caught off guard by this and now Im playing grief counselor.  His family was not quite as nice as I was.

    You just proved my point...  All what someone on the internet says.  There is no factual information here, just forum speculation. 

    I am not trying to disprove you or be a dick and start a flame war.  Im just looking for factual information from an independent lab test or manufacturer info or anything along those lines.  Some of the info above is "from my experience".  Well, from my experience thats not quite true!

    I have a great deal of respect for the info I get here.  For the most part everyone is fairly accurate, yourself included.  This is a great forum with a lot of knowledgeable members.

    So a friend of mine fell victim to a scam today.....

      Someone supposedly from the IRS called him and told him he owed $8000 from 2007.  They called him repeatedly telling him they where going to come and get him if he did not immediately wire them the money.  He told them he did not have 8k sitting in the bank so they let him send 6k immediately to settle the debt.  I thought this guy was smarter than that.  I was wrong.  I made him go file a report with the police even though I know there is nothing they can do.  The police told us both that this is becoming a big problem lately.  Since I have not heard anything about it until today I figured I would share here.  I know that almost everyone on this board is smarter than that but I just wanted to put it out here.  Warn anyone you know that you think may fall for this kind of crap that it is going on like the elderly or people from other countries (as in this case). Scammers are using the fear of the government as a tactic now.  Its a shame

    This is known through out the reloading community,  The winchester primers are most likely pushed back out from pressure making it look like a lighter strike. Where the cci is still showing a full indent from the firing pin.

    Its not quite like that.  The CCI's are hit so hard that the anvil is somewhat crushed.  I dont get the with the Winchesters.  I cant find any real primer hardness info anywhere except what is "widely known in the reloading community"  Where did the community find this info. 

    Even the primer companies are useless for this info. 

    BTW, The firearm involved is a rossi lever in 45 colt

    It is getting better.  Prices are not so much.  There was a period of time that you could not get 22lr no matter how much you where willing to pay.  Now, its out there, the prices are down a little, but its still kinda expensive.  Just recently I picked up a couple of 325 round brick of CCI mini mags for about $26 each.  That works out to $8 per hundred (or .08 per round) witch is not great but not terrible.  My point is that it was available. I have been unable to find these things anywhere for a while. 

    Also, I purchased them at a brick and mortar local store. 

    Ken

    I just looked at one of the boxes of mini mags I got and it is 375 rounds, not 325.  That drops the price to $.07 each or $7.00 per 100.

    He's a gem alright. Sayreville Sportsman just like the old Harley of Edison when it was actually on route 1. I look there and buy elsewhere, due entirely to staff/ownership attitudes.

    That is a most excellent comparison. 

    I dont know that I would even join a club that he is the president of.

    Anyone ever get any fluids ever drained from them? Ok yea that sounded bad but you know what I mean.

     

    As mention me and needles = No go, doc said doesn't hurt but they lie hands down on that lol. So lets be honest here lol

     

    I did YouTube video and it looks pretty damn painful.

    Yes.  I have had it done 2 times.  The first time hurt like a bitch.  It can make the pain of the clot look like a little scratch.  The second time, no big deal.  I think the first Dr stuck me wrong or something.
