Some powders are listed to be used with magum primers. Win 748 is one of them if you are using that for 223. Magnum primers burn a little hotter and can be used in place of standard primers if you reduce your load by 10% and work it back up.

I use Win 231 for 9mm and 45 ACP. There is data for it in 45GAP as well.

I have heard good reports on Wolf, but have not yet used them. I do have a few thousand of them on Backorder.

I keep hearing good things about Jim Fynn up your way. Otherwise I could probably trade you a brick for a brick of pistol primers if you need it.

There is always a question on this issue. It is good to re read every once and a while.

Did you challenge them to a shoot? I bet they just loaded up and shot aimlessly at a target 50 yds away, right? I hate snot nosed pricks like that. That would irk me as well.

Hey, that's my line. :mrgreen: Sorry, where do I send the royalties check?

I think it is because AR's are the adult version of Legos.

Belize or Costa Rica

No

Perfectly legal to own.

9. Tracer, armor piercing and steel core ammunition are prohibited, From their website No other restrictions. shoot as much wolf as you want.

Most people can't see the car in front of them until they run up its rear. How do you expect them to see a turtle?

That does look fun.

Nice rifle with a great reputation. I want a CZ Full Stock .22

If you want the max amount of time go a week before they expire. They will give you 90 days from the renewal date.

Yes, And when everything does I will resupply for the next crisis.

Nikon makes a nice scope.

How much do you want to shell out total for a press, dies, scale, powder measure, tumbler, media and a few other small odds and ends? I reload rifle on a single Stage rock chucker. I am going to buy a Lee Classic Turret to speed up the operation. If I was going to put out the money for a progressive it would be a RCBS Pro 2000. With the exception of primers as of late, I have been buying powder without a problem and MidSouth Shooters Supply has bulk 55 fmj in stock usually. What I have done also is find a place that will allow backorders and place an order. When it comes in i am on the list to get it.

I have never been a fan of Smith Semi's with the exception of the Model 52. Their 1911 may be the 2nd exception. the one i shot was very nice. Glad to her you like yours.

This Tuesday we will be at BA, I will bring a Warrior and one I built and I am sure there will be others. Try them out and see what you like. Once you have a price range it is easier to narrow it down. I hear a lot of good things with the S&W. I shot Wolfy's and it was a nice shooter.

No birdshot at BA, but slugs and buck are good.

There is a significant savings in reloading. You have to factor in the amount you shoot vs the cost of equipment. if you want to do volume shooting a Hand press will not get you there.

I have had my stuff before the insanity ensued so at a quick estimation assuming you have your own brass and at sale prices 7000 gr in a lb. 24 gr/rd depends on powder I am estimating 299 rds 3.5 lbs of powder @ $70 1000 primers @ $35 1000 bulk 223 55fmj@ $80 18.5/ rd plus cost of equipment.

It has been so long since I qualed, I don't know if they changed anything. All we had was a 500 m KD range with positions on 200,300 and 500. I think you guys had different ranges. And I have seen a few non Marines that can shoot their butts off. I am not your typical egomaniac Jarhead. I have been humbled on more than one occasion. Good luck with it.
