hmm, good for her and all but, it makes me feel weird about my Ruger now....

9mm luger. The reason I bring it up was the brass was mostly cci blazer and federal and the blazer cases were spotless right off the range floor. I am talking inside the brass. If it is just a matter of cleaning I can live with that, I am just wondering if I can, or even should, get cleaner burning powder.

Shot a pile of my reloads and got the brass back for another go at it and the insides as just full of crud. The brass was pretty durn clean when I first loaded them but this blackening is thick. I only have Hogden HS6 and I am wondering if a change in powder will get me less crud?

More than half of the papers you fill out for a FPID have to do with Mental Illness. Mentally ill people have difficulty holding jobs. They have little or no insurance. State programs to care for the metally ill are they only way to help them. If there are no programs to care for them, no money for professional services, they get no record and no help. That means that that mental health release form really means nothing when it comes to finding the worst case people. Continuing to lump "lazy" with "ill" when it comes to funding is throwing the baby out with the bath water. The FPID forms don't ask if you are lazy.

Classic example of why funding gets cut. ref An educated gun owner and gun rights advocate needs to know the difference, because if the state isn't looking after the mentally ill, and they can't make the money to pay for insurance, then the mentally ill can get guns. Guess what laws come next?

Did you try opening the silver filler tube and checking for clogs? The Lee reloader book says that you should periodicly check the measure and the through powder die for clogs. Lastly, after opening that silver tube that holds the black adjustment rod, you will likely throw the whole thing off. Even turning the silver end cap a little will knock off the adustment. After checking for a clog (new out of box Midway suggests you add mica powder to prevent stickage in that tube) I had to recalibrate the measure using the scale so that the adjustment rod matched its actual output.

is it really? And, cutting mental health services always leads to homelessness and more crime.

Try soemthing like this laserlyte

roger that. My Mk III hunter and my Glock 19 are very similar angle wise.

Postal The first one had a level where you molotoved a school marching band. absolutley insane idea but it had all the band sounds when you did it, cymbols, tuba, drums. funny. Postal 2 was sick. You could piss in someones mouth and make them vomit. That one I had to get rid of. Creeped me out.

I'm sorry if the tone sounded combative. As I have stated before, and I don't want to sound like a broken record but, my family has numerous mental health professionals. There are many falacies in public perception about mental illness that hurts people's perception of the issues of mental illness. So much so that it has hurt the field. You stating a book title sounded like you thought it was a fact somehow. It looks like an interesting book, but I was not aware of it prior to this.

ah, Opinion with an attitude, stated as fact and written into a book. The world needs more of that.

Don't get too carried away now

Thanks again for this. Making 50 rounds then breaking them apart was time consuming, but I am glad I did it. I gave up on weighing the poweder because I was stressed for time, but I am pretty sure the one in question because visually it dumped out more than the others. Better safe than sorry right?

Man, that video. Guy was saying he had no idea why he did what he did or even what they were planning to do. That just means his friend joined in for no reason other than to "go with it." Thank God he was on crack or would have died. That is the nightmare as I see it. I had friends I grew up with get addicted to crack and angel dust and when I would meet up with them they would talk about having no idea why they did what they did. My best friend in elementary school got so addicted by high school he dragged his girlfriend to a bridge and tried to throw her off. He had no idea why. This is the same guy that got so upset with signs that said "employees must wash their hands before returning to work" that he would piss in the soap dispensers. His reason, he just didn't like the sign. That's why talking about "what do you need to carry a pistol for," is such a hard sell. The reasons and circumstances can be so random and unbelievable that you end up sounding like a paranoid looney.

I wonder. I gues what I could do is replicate my dumb as$ move, put the starting load in on top of it and then weigh the resulting powder. hmmmm.

None of that really answers his question. Hitler also liked to ski, was afraid of heights and was a painter. None of which is indicative of skirting the treaty of Versailles, starting a two front war and implementing the final solution.

Thanks for the quick replies. So I am weighing every single load before putting it through this Lee die that sizes and flares. After doing this for a while and thinking about all things bullets, I measured and then poured the powder through the funnel on the top of the die. It went through the die and out onto my floor, which I was interested in cleaning up immediately. It wasn't until I finished the 3rd to last one that, like an idiot, I did it again. That's when I realised that when I dumped that first one through that I had the brass in the press but in its full retraction. I looked at the latest one I f'ed up and realised that even though most ended up on the floor, a good amount landed in the case. I then loaded a full starting load on top of it. So somewhere in the batch is a very hot load. I had been thinking about an electronic scale to measure them out. I guess that would be pointless. Seems it is best to just bust them all up and chalk it up to experience. reccommndations on a bullet puller?

I was trying to get into a rhythm. Had a few things I needed to change and re-adjust. finished 50 and then it hit me, I think i loaded to much powder in one round, by about 10%. I guess I need to start them over. Can these be separated without special tools?

But we could add "liberals" and "neocons" if we ran out all the labels. It is done the world over in all countries. The difference is does it end up in a defacto dictatorship. That was done by far more subterfuge than simple political grandstanding and name calling. Targeting the wealthy has been around since Robin Hood and Sherwood forest.

I have to ask, why would you save all that if you never planned to reload it? Neat freak? I just bought the "lee classic reloader kit" for $69 at Midway and the dies for less than that. After that it is a cleaner, powder and bullets. I am taking my time learning. Its kinda fun. I have taken 250 brass cases up to the point where i add powder. Just taking my time to make sure i understand.

All good things to ponder from a jail cell. You would have plenty of time.

eh, well if they can jail a man for taking his own pistol to a hotel after his flight was unintentionally held at Newark and hold him for a week after trying to check it back in, what hope do you have? Plenty of preparataions for excuses means nothing when it means you can make them from jail while paying a lawyer. Its not like you get to go home and convince your online friends that already agree with you. Quite frankly, if you posted this and said "gee I just got arrested for picking up a pistol that was accidentally sent directly to me," you would have more replies telling you got what was coming.
