Old School

Good for you Ray!!! And you'll see, as you get more into reloading you'll become MORE of a vulture. You will wrestle your friends for once fired brass. You'll learn how to slip once fired 5.56 brass away from another shooter with your foot. You'll take Tylenol for a sore back from picking up brass and buy a Nut Wizard. http://www.nutwizard.com/ Hint. Get ahead on your clean tumbled brass so you always have a load ready to go into the press. Have Fun!!!

Are you interviewing for "Sons of Anarchy" Really if properly transported in the saddle bags, I don't see a problem. Go one step further and lock the cases and lock the saddle bags and eliminate the possible issues. I've done it but never got pulled over. Then I've done a lot of **** some others would not. www.njweekendwarriors.com check it out!

I just don't see it Maks. I do use Dillon carbides, which I found better than RCBS carbides, and One Shot lube. I do use a chamber block to check reloads. So the brass resizes to the right size, I check it. And they seem to prime OK. Let's hear about the issues specific to press type and die type. That being the variable and the S&B cases being the constant. They have to work for me because I refuse to cull them out of my range brass.

Love 'em or Hate 'em. Good luck! The G17 slide on a G19 frame is an excellent conversoin that is not done enough.

You guys having problems with S&B brass... Ever think about your dies? Are they carbides? Do ya lube?(I know that's personal) And Dillon machines never flip primers up side down. Never crush primers either. Just sayin' folks

I like this one.

Excellent articles you posted. It has me convinced that break-in is all BS. I'm just goin' shootin'!

Definetly an issue of accuracy if it's an issue at all. Service rifles are not broken in and there is not a reliability issue. I suspect the break-in issue is trying to squeeze every bit of potential accuracy out of a rifle. And if you are not looking for extreme accuracy and are not willing to tailor hand loads, there is no reason to go through a break-in procedure. My $.02

I never really broke in any of my service grade guns and they all were pretty accurate. Now I'm buying a 20" heavy barreled SS target upper and I'm really interested in what you guys have to say as I expect some incredible accuracy. I'd like to hear from Pizza Bob on this one.

I reload them and never encountered a problem. I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

It really sux that you even ask this question. Families have been going out on shooting outings forever. My dad did it when we were kids, I did it with my kids, and I do it with my grandkids. I would guess my grandfather did it too. Just follow the transport laws and go at it. If you need to ask questions like this the opposition is winning. God, Guns and Guts are what has made this country Great!

If a firearm is left where the dog can get it I guess that's pretty irresponcible. Serves him right! Probably will function fine. Thank God it wasn't his kid teething on it...

Hey! Hey! That's my W231! OK! OK! I'm a few days older...

I believe they were rotary mags from day one.

Hey Tony - What gun you shooting it in and did you ever put it over a chrono? Now I run a 1.104 OAL but for me your load seems like it's starting to get a little hot. But it maybe my reduced case capacity.

I just pulled the trigger on a DPMS factory upper 24" Stainless Steel Bull Barrel. Piccatiny on the gas block w/ a free floating handguard. Essentially the same rifle I sold except with a rifle length free floating forend and 20" SS barrel. Oh BTW it's a standard .223 chamber. I'm shopping glass now but if it doesn't shoot 1/2-3/4 inch @ 100yds I'll be dissapointed. I won't have it until the end of the month but will post groups if I'm proud of it. I you don't see posts you'll never hear about this rifle again until it goes up for sale...

I'll ask about the CZ barrels. The question I ask is "Can you handle +P+?" But really +P+ or Israeli Black Tip is not a SAAMI round. But you know that.

I have to do some homework on this. Got to be careful.

I've only found them in the 100 pack. I shoot them in 22lr conversion guns.
