This is what I use. Squirt some on the gun, some on the steel wool, and rub with light pressure.

You can learn pistol on progressive. If you want ot be cautious you run one at a time and you can avoid getting overwhelmed. Rifle is harder to make the justification for a progressive setup. Assuming cleaned brass for both. Pistol goes like this: deprime->size->prime->bell->charge->seat->crimp-> done. some of those steps might be combined or separate depending on your gear and how you set up, but they can ALL be done on the press. The only gotcha is crimped brass, which for pistol, you can easily pluck out and toss in the scrap bin and proceed with a blank slot until it makes it all the way around. Rifle goes like this deprime->size->swage or ream primer pocket if needed->trim to length if needed->if trimmed, chamfer neck if needed->charge->seat->crimp->case gauge->done. Now for cheap blasting ammo, you can skip the chamfer. If you go with an x-die setup, you can avoid trimming very often if you exercise good inventory control of your spent brass, but you still do need to sometimes. If the brass has crimped primers, you have to remove it. The only press you can trim and take care of the primer pocket without removing the brass form the press is the dillon 1050 with the trimmer add on. And you need to hook a vacuum up to it. I'd lik that kind of a setup, but I just batch load on a turret.

They do not work in a progressive. Read the reviews on midway for any of them. They aren't worth it. You either she'll out the cash for the dillon, or the new Rcbs/redding (one of the green guys) knock off of the dillon, or you go the reamer route.

you seriously haven't typed "crimped brass" into google image search? Or better yet crimped primer pocket? There's plenty of pictures out there of what they look like. if it is lake city, the only way to NOT have crimped pockets is if you got new unprimed surplus. If they have been reloaded previously, someone already took the crimp out. You either need a swager, or a primer pocket reamer. Reamers are MUCH cheaper than a crap swager, and way more than a good swager. The hornady one with the aluminum handle is sharp and not too expensive. Some guys get buy taking the crimp off with an inside neck chamfer tool. Lots of reloaders get all pissy about that and tell you it is wrong. However the rcbs reamers look just like VLD chamfer tools with the point taken off the end so. Some folks use drills. The keepers of the one true way have apoplexy over that, but reality is a cutting tool is a cutting tool. The main problem with them is keeping from tilting the bit, but that's an issue to more or less of a degree with all the reamers too.

You can use a magnifying optic with the front sight post in the way. You won't see it with most scopes (I'd be cautious with a simple prismatic low power magnifying optic). In general, even on 1x for a 1-4x scope, it will make the image a bit dimmer and less contrasty. Kind of like putting your finger right in front of a flashlight doesn't get you a nice crisp finger shadow until you get the right distance away.

The sprinco, recoil master, etc. are all basically the same. More bits to wear out and break, and unless designed into the gun from the start, more delicate parts. For example, the h&k usp has one, but it is beefy. The aftermarket ones to fit flocks and m&ps, not so much. In my experience/opinion, heavy guns and ultra compacts ate served well by them. Light guns not south because they make the sights track kind of funny.

They tend to run true to size and fit like a sneaker rather than a traditional boot. Tread is kind of thin and the outsole is not too durable. $50 is about the right price point.

The 300 blackout is nearly identical to the 300 whisper developed by jdj. It was most definitely designed to be a suppressed cartridge. It was also designed to perform on par with the .30-30 cartridge, but out of an ar, and with bullets that were ballistically superior. Look at the cartridge specs. Anyone telling you the .300 blackout was an original design with different design goals is full of it.

If you ain't feeling so hot, and aren't properly hydrated due to illness, I'd say stay home unless you are feeling better and have a plan to beat the heat. If you are properly hydrated, still bring enough to beat the heat, but come out. I can't count the number of times getting out and shooting has killed off a case of the yucks for me.

It's because it transfers as "other" which transfers like a handgun rather than a long gun.

For hd NOT the desert eagle. I have big hands. The DE is about the right diameter, and I actually find the grip too short. I can reach all the controls with one hand. I can finally deactivate the safety with my shooting hand after cycling it hundreds of times to break it in. I'm 6'6" wear a size 12 glove and it's about 9" from my wrist to the tip of my middle finger, and about 10" from pinky tip to thumb tip when I spread out my fingers. Most folks can't do the above, and even though I can it is still too slow to operate and weighs a ton. Other than fun, the only practical use of a DE is handgun hunting.

a piece of advice.. get a decent password manager/wallet and use it. Make everything different. You are seeing companies worth billions pull junior security mistakes all over the place. It's not going to get better, it's going to get more frequent.

Not really, other than black powder stuff. You can get all the bits to assemble a 10/22 clone pretty easily, and assembly isn't too bad. You can get all the parts to build a Remington 700 clone easily. Assembly requires real work and tools though. Same goes for 1911 and 2011 pistols.

The 1100 is a semi auto. The spring tube in the stock really limits how much you can cut it down unless you are going to cut down the tube, re-spring it, and figure out the right spring rates to still run reliably.

Just so you know, a thumbs forward grip with most revolvers cna cause you physical injury, especially with a magnum cartridge. Especially if you don't have short stubby thumbs. As for height over bore axis, it's probably an inch max. So at worst, you get sight offset issues of up to an inch. For most practical purposes it is negligible.

Why? .45 recoil is pretty manageable by any physically sound adult. Most guns are. 45 is also pretty average has handguns go in terms of recoil. A light weight .357, which internet and gunstore idiots seem to recommend to women all the time is about as unpleasant a gun to shoot as I have experienced (then agian I'm not stupid enough to pick up a light 3" barreled .44 with full zorch loads). People psych themselves out too much when it comes to recoil, think way too much of the power of handguns in general, and give women too little credit for being functional adults able to operate machines designed for a pretty low common denominator.

It's most probable that ups didn't rip anyone off. They are just package mauling goons sometimes, and sometimes the shipper has their head up their butt about packaging. Whenever you order ammo in quantities that make the shipper break a case, you risk losing loose boxes to long conveyor drops. I've had it happen a couple times. A case of 9mm and a few boxes of .45 or .357 and the package has gotten mushy from all the drops in package sort. It pops the tape, and a box or two of the loose stuff disappears because they thought they found everything.

Dvor is optics planet. Many of there sales are worse prices than you can get elsewhere. Some are minor discounts. Occasionally they have some minor discounts on stuff with a pretty hard map policy, sometimes there are very solid discounts, and occasionally a scorching deal.

buya cz85 and get it chromed.

It very well might be. No all divisions combined scores, so I don't feel like looking through all of them. I shot like dookie.

Doesn't matter, even if they don't build them, signing the deal means they have to collect the sales tax starting next year. Newegg opened warehouses here without the world ending.

Nope, but hodgdons pretty much says 5.0 max for JHP, so I'd say less than that. ARe you trying to reload for major PF, or are you just looking for a light load for plinking? For minor power factor, I'd try something like 3.9gr and see how it works and chronos. For major, I'd try 4.8 and see if it makes it.

A 14 year old can kill you just fine. Their age has nothing to do with being a threat. It's real hard to tell the difference between a desperate kid trying to pay for their next meal and a strung out 14 year old junkie who would rather stab you than get the police called on them. Mainly because it's just different kinds of desperate. Think back to the last time you got startled in your home by someone who is supposed ot be there. For that brief moment, you know nothing about who it is and that's what sets you off. Now stretch that out for the entire encounter. You can't tell just from looking at them. You point a gun at them and tell them to get on the ground, they might sort themselves out in that situation. If the kid comes at you, they have tagged themselves as the the dangerous kind of 14 year old.

If I hadn't gotten out to obrams, it'd be the first match I got to shoot in 2.5 months.
