reloading mistakes
Slowly deprime the case. It will pop right out. Just wear safety glasses just in case. I've done this with upside down and sideways primers.

PMC .45 FMJ 230gr
I've shot this before and didn't notice anything. It shot pretty good also. I liked it.

Several Questions
I didn't have to answer any questions, but I would submit the application A.S.A.P. since they can take 2 months + to process. It all depends on how quickly the dept. processes FID applications where you apply.

Doing recon for the wife...
While I wouldn't have recommended the P229 (double stack - probably just as much girth as your Berrettas), I definitely would recommend a 9mm P239 (single stack). Not sure what an extra lever on the gun would do to necessarily keep your kids safer. With the first D/A pull of the Sig being in the neighborhood of 11#, not to mention the backstrap to trigger span, I think it's doubtful that they'd be anymore safe with a mechanical safety - which they probably could manipulate anyway. Sig has four integral safeties on their P-series classics - the only gun allowed in the SOCOM trials without an external safety. Good luck in your quest, but I think that you are missing out on an excellent choice for a reason that has little validity. The best safety is the one between your ears, and you've already stated that you have the good sense to keep them under lock & key. Adios, Pizza Bob I'm with Pizza Bob on the Sig P239 in 9mm. Single stack grip.

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
The front sight broke already. :roll: I was shooting nice group at 7-10 yards after I got it sighted in. I should be there Tuesday. Trying to get a replacement sight. Well the #2 height sight is on back order. If anyone(cough cough Rick) doesn't use the #2 sight I'd be willing to buy or trade ammo (or brass ) for it. Is the #2 sight the one that is stock? If it is, mine is missing the dot also. I just put the other sight in to use the gun. I didn't get the other one replaced.

Help me pick my next AK
No, a .223 marked Saiga will cycle 5.56 ammo just fine. This may be true for other guns, but it is not the case with Saigas. That said, he should get a 7.62x39 anyway. .223 out of a barrel under 20" loses a lot of juice, not to mention you'd need to stock a new, more expensive caliber. That's why I said "chambered." I have seen guns marked .223 and chambered in 5.56. It's good to know it's chambered in 5.56. Thanks for the info.

Help me pick my next AK
If it's chambered for .223 you can't use 5.56 in it. If it's chambered in 5.56 you can use both. I would get the 7.62 x 39 since you already have a gun chambered in that caliber and I just like 7.62 x 39 in an AK.

Do you shoot with your non-dominant eye closed?
I do the same.

Where does shooting rank in your list of hobbies?
1. Shooting & reloading. 2. Salt water fishing Shooting and reloading take up most of my free time.

Walther P22
Chris - the same thing happened to me after a couple hundred rounds. Other than that, it has been good. Watch the barrel nut. Sometimes it loosens up.

First time...Reloading
I suggest reading a couple of books and watching some reloading video's on you tube before you start. Scan the reloading forums also for tips. Rifle cartridges are a little more involved than pistol cartridges. Case length is more critical in rifle than pistol. I don't trim my pistol brass. You also need to lube the cases for rifle to prevent them from sticking in the die when sizing. I don't need to lube the pistol brass. Sizing is also different in rifle depending on if you're loading for bolt action or semi-automatic. I use full length sizing when loading for the AR. If I was loading bolt action, I would full length size the first time, then neck size there after since the case will form to your chamber. I've been using Hogdon H335 with CCI small rifle primers for .223. H335 meters excellent in my RCBS powder measure. H335 seems to be a common powder for .223. Be safe!

It's a sweet rifle. That's a slick setup with the bipod on the front.

Nice Chris! - so I guess your permits came in. Did the ink dry on this one before using it?

Need an Expert Opinion on Bullet Set-Back
Could they be hitting the ramp on the way up and moving a few thousands back - just slightly breaking them loose. On the next cycle they get pushed back because they broke loose? Have you tried different magazines? I remember reading something about certain magazines feeding SWC better than others in 1911 pistols.

June Second Sunday at Cherry Ridge - 6/13
Even though it rained late in the day, it was a good day. It's nice with a roof over the trap range. Mike - that Mosin sure does have some pop to it. Nice rifle.
