    I saw a video of a guy using a web cam to highlight the pointer on his scale.  I looked around and found a nice cheap(5.00) stand for an Iphone,  grabbed an old Iphone 6s I had lying around and here ya go...

    you have to put the phone on video so it doesnt shut off but it works great.

    There is a lot of crappy factory ammo out there.  A name like Remington and you cant even trust them with your life.  A few different instructors told me that they have been seeing some real shit ammo too.  For me...I'll continue to make my own.  I know it works.  ALL of them.

    27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

    I must say, lots of Click for Photos that don't work, and Pizza Bob's jpg leads to Image Shack that want's me to join but doesn't show me his Benelli.

          I actually trust my reloads more than I do factory ammo!  I visually check the presence and amount of powder in each casing before I insert the bullet.  I have an auto powder drop stage on my press but I don't use it and never will!  Sure, it adds more time to the reload process but I will never have a squib round in my reloads whereas with any factory ammo, you just can't know!  Is it rare, yes.  In a defensive situation,  a squib stuck in your barrel is the end for you!

         As to factory ammo, I just now ordered 5 boxes of Hornady Critical Duty at $25 per box of 50 rounds.  Cheapest I have seen in eons!:)

    There cannot be,  nor will there ever be a squib from one of my loads.  My camera shows me the powder in the case of every round.  There are no mistakes.  I even weigh every loaded round for consistency.  The squib will never get by my scrutiny...:icon_mrgreen:

    Was told when I started carrying only carry factory loads.  While not illegal to carry hand loads it opens up alot more questions that you will need to defend in court God forbid you need to use your firearm in defence.

    I have a few boxes of the factory ammo.  That is what I am carrying.  I bought these to duplicate the factory load so I can use them for practice.  Practice with what you carry right?  This way is WAY cheaper than a dollar a shot or so.  Instead of shooting FMJ I can shoot these for the same price or less.

    Perhaps upping the powder charge to get better penetration!  He did say it was a lite shooting load so perhaps 6 grains of Autocomp would do the trick or is 5.5 the max recommended powder?  Your thoughts?

    I tested 5.2,  5.5, and 5.7grains.  All three loads cycled fine in all of my 9mm's.  The 5.7 is pretty snappy but showed no sign of overpressure.  I am sure they can go hotter.  i will load up a few more.  This was my original testing so I am not done.  Besides the fact that I dont know too many humans with vitals deeper than 10 inches into their chest.  I believe they will "do the job" just fine.

    Nice find!  They stopped making these a while back I think!  I got lucky and bought a crap ton of those bullets in .45 cal.

    I would love to get some in 9mm. Anymore in stock where you got them? I may never use the .45 heads I have since I carry only 9mm these days!:)

    He told me today he does have more.  Send me a PM.  I even bought some once fired Federal Nickel brass to duplicate the factory load as close as I can get.  I am pretty close.  I wouldnt want to get hit with these thats for sure.

    Did that actually passed code inspection??? Holy shit!

    That is a lot of work when a simple ledger would  have done the same thing...actually when i look at it again,  that is not even a beam.  It is ALL wrong.
