458 SOCOM
You made that .458 cartridge? Just curious why the bullet is not seated with the cannelure in the case mouth

iPhone 6+ vs .50 cal
Hmm, I stand corrected on the iPod touch and iPhone 5s. I still wager it would go through the 6, especially out of a rifle. Although not edge-on like in the OP's video.

iPhone 6+ vs .50 cal
A .22LR would go through an iPhone. Someone needs to record that (using another iPhone at with its new 240fps camera, natch)

New Holster for USPSA and IDPA
I use the paddle for both my IDPA guns. Holds well and is very convenient for holstering up at the range.

Buy full face respirator locally?
I have one you could borrow also but you'd have to get it before I go on vacation. I have a few GME-P100 combo cartridges but they're old (unused but old...not sure if they expire)

Finicky 1911 and reloading
I was going to suggest something like this, or maybe the bottom corner of the hook is not chamfered/polished properly or the breech face is rough. If your gun is not feeding ammo that's within spec send it back to Springfield and they'll fix it. My Loaded wasn't feeding SWC so Springfield tuned the extractor and polished the ramp for me (maybe one or two other things, I forget now) and now it works nicely.

Hollow points
Apparently Nappen says it is indeed possible to charge a BG with unlawful possesion if you shoot said BG during a home invasion or whatever. The truth of the matter is once the projectile hits ANYTHING (wall, BG, dirt...) it won't be a hollow point any more, whether clogged with debris or deformed into a mushroom

Bipod for SPR...swivel or no swivel?
I like the swivel and you can tighten an adjustment nut to stop the swiveling when necessary. The nut is a bit hard to get super tight but You can purchase or construct a lock: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_19/336786_Make_Your_Own_Pod_Lock_for_the_Swivel_Harris_Bipods__Details_and_Instructions.html

New S&W M&P Shield 9mm!
The shield would be legal for IDPA but, except for BUG matches, you'd be at a disadvantage from the low capacity and short sight radius

.45 Auto Reloading - Plated Ammo Question
More free space in the case absolutely affects the burn. If you remember high school chemistry PV=nRT if you increase volume either pressure and/or temperature will change (yes I know the products don't follow the ideal gas law per se but its a useful approximation). Incomplete burn might be an issue too. I've never had success with FP because I had to seat them soooo deep to pass the plunk test in my 1911.

.45 Auto Reloading - Plated Ammo Question
The Sig or the 1911 jammed? I found that I needed to post-size my plated bullet rounds with the Lee FCD to run smoothly in my 1911. I didn't see if you were seating and crimping together but when I tried that it cut the plating. So I crimp and final-size as a separate final step.

Weather tech mats
My wife has WeatherTech, I have Husky. Both good mats made in the USA, I just thought the Husky fit a little more tightly.

pinning and welding a muzzle brake
By this point he's annealed the crap out of it with the failed attempts! I'm not super familiar with everything out there but I thought carbide drill bits were only made for concrete drilling. I use cobalt bits for metal drilling.

G2R R.I.P. Ammo "The last round you'll ever need" ?
Which is funny (or sad) since the ammunition itself is trash from a terminal ballistics standpoint. Unless he was bringing a case that the shooter was intentionally trying to maim his target. But a fool and his money...

Maximum Accuracy Reached for Glock 34?
I've never seen a bullet expand to fit rifling in any simulation I've run. But I acknowledge I haven't seen everything... For excessive leading I'd expect the powder to be TOO fast, escaping around the bullet before the projectile swages through the forcing cone. Clays is whoa fast. I like it in .45 but even there I get sooty cases because it's so fast it doesn't expand the brass to seal the chamber.

IDPA Classifier - help locating
I only see one or two classifiers in the schedule here http://www.nepaidpascores.net/ Classifiers aren't necessarily labeled though You know you can compete in local matches without a classification though, right? It's only P-Burg/Easton/Hellertown that require either a classification OR proof of training to participate.
