38spl case length in a 357 chamber I think we can agree is not an issue. As to Maks comment...If you lock your dial caliper into max case length you can just slip your cases through. You eliminate another piece of equipment and IMHO you get a more precise assessment.

Maks - What a paradox... Won't eat processed meat but you'll eat nitrate laden Pig candy?

Thread Hijack Here !!! I like shooting 158gr SWC in my 35 Remington

No joke WTF! I think technically it could happen.

We (Conservatives) are F'd ! I don't think the Senate has the moxy to vote down a confirmation. Not these RINOs !

Shane - Good heads up for these guys. I don't know how many barrels I've shipped in PVC pipe all the ways up to 4" pipe for pump shotgun barrels. Just pad them inside real good. The compressive strength of PVC is phenominal. Now - I've never seen or touched a $1k barrel. And I thought I had some high end stuff...LOL

Check this out... a press comparison http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2015/11/reloading-press-comparison-rock-chucker-vs-co-ax-vs-summit/

OK my snobbery attitude exposed !!! In a single stage press, other than extreme bench rest, RCBS is the only way to go. Smoother and better leverage / feel. Griz is right on the money. All the big boys use a hand primer. And make sure you clean the primer pockets if you're serious. Micrometer bullet seating die? I don't know how exacting you want to be and how much you are willing to develope your loads. If you are shooting precision and are going to really play with "COL" (it's not really that) you may want one. Though I've done some nice work without one. I use them in both my precision rifles and it makes life easier. I'm not going to give you a reloading lesson but I guess you know COL is all BS and only for fitting in magazines. The real dimension you are concerned with is orgive to case head so, buy a comparitor and find a way to measure your chamber.

My point being... Read the rules and if it's not prohibited JUST DO IT! No need to bring attention to yourself or anyone else. Don't think these forums aren't monitored by the liberal morons that would like you to prevent you from doing something harmless and legal. It's me I guess. I just try and stay low key. Even (especially) on this forum.

I guess I'm just a crochety old bastard. Is everybody in this state just crazy insecure scared? And then ask for an opinion on an internet forum?

Oops! Sorry I gave you retired military ID by mistake. LOL

I've been pulled over for speeding so they try and make it relevant. And since I'm sucking to get cut a break I always give them some BS. But certainly nothing to raise a flag.

OK it was an accidental discharge The death was the result of a ricochet. This officer did not do anything criminal He should be cut loose. He may not be fit to be a LEO but it's an accident that resulted in a death. Two rookies in a hell hole. Very F'd up. my$.02

I call BS

The problem I have is putting a plastic flag in a hot chamber. I generally just use it to prevent the bolt from closing. I used it to prevent the bolt from closing one time and went around with one of the directors of CR. Right or wrong he was an AH! I don't want plastic in my hot chamber. Shane was it melted stuck in there?

And Carl_g not at you specifically ... But with the numerous AKs worldwide the likelihood of one being used in a domestic terrorist attack is pretty good. And it would be nice to be familiar with one if it became available during that event.

I just bought my first AK for training purposes, Nice but I love my AR's ! Shane45: OK just don't cry when I accidentally shoot you because you were carrying the "enemy's" weapon! You are absolutely correct. I trained on targets with crescent shaped magazines. Enemy identification like aircraft cards. Golf battery: One reason to own an ak. I own one and my reason is because i want to know an enemies firearm as good as i know my ar. What?? No im not paranoid This is why I bought an AK. Yes I was trained on the enemy's weapon. But my family wasn't. The Gov't trained both my wife and daughter on M-16's. Now there maybe 300 million AK's in the world and in a let's say a "tense" situation you may have to pick one up off the ground and use it. Based on the major differences In the operating systems of both It's good to be trained on both.

Hey Paul...Remember when when the shot gun was mounted standing muzzle up in the passenger seat? What an ash tray...LOL

I'm well aware of Silencer Shop Real nice folks too. I have a local guy that gave me all the trust forms and if we can agree on pricing I feel like I owe him something

Excellent and thanks for the heads up on the Lage upper fellow infidel !

My only problem with the M11 is the damned cyclic rate of 1200rpm... 32rd mag in 1.5 seconds

Hey guys - I'll be establishing my NFA Trust real soon. I got a 3 page freebee trust document from my class 3 dealer. It's SC specific. Just have to fill it out and notarize. Let's talk Cans.. I need 2 one in 22lr and one 5.56-7.62 Won't be using any on center fire pistols right now. The 22lr is for yard practice and the CF rifle can for hunting. As for 22lr I like the TS Axiom™ Suppressor and one of my accounts can give me a good discount. If you guys want one do the research and pm me. Question is what do you like for CF rifle?

H E - This is not directed specifically at you but a general statement about this thread. I've done failure analysis for a living and I haven't seen one bit of credible fact, including from you in this BS thread. We know Glocks failed from unsupported chambers and some weak cases. We know Glocks failed due to MIM Extractors. Why are these Kimbers failing? Edit at the request of the OP: It's not that the thread objective is BS but the lack of facts make posters opinions BS.

H E - #1 I'm not a Kimber fan period. I've posted my reasons previously But until you site the cause of the failures, your posts are not credible in my eyes. Where are the weak spots? Are the sears or disconnectors failing? Are they firing out of battery? Are they shooting GOOD factory ammo? Was a squib involved? Spit it out !!! What's failing. Higgins tell us...
