Shocker

50 thousandths is kind of a lot, if you are at minimum starting loads it should be safe but you're probably going to have your velocities all over the place. It's hard to say "how far off is too far" as that will depend on your gun and powder. If you're using a fast powder you'll have to be more careful, and if you're loading for an unramped 1911 (seems unlikely if you're working on 9mm) you'll have to be more careful.

If you on a short time frame, I've heard many good things about the RIA. On the other hand if you have a few months to read people's opinions I've found lots of good information here: http://forums.1911forum.com/ If you're going to "mess around with swapping parts" you'll want to make sure you either have a mil-spec platform or can find parts easily otherwise. For example, my Springfield has a non standard firing pin, but it's a .38 Super pin (IIRC) and you can still find them everywhere.

Uncle Sams Misguided Children shared on their Facebook too

J0n mentioned Cafe Amici in Somerset but IMHO Piazza Orsillo smokes them. Unfortunately Orsillo has stupid hours (not open on Sunday for football? WTF?!)

Strange things going on with their site. Some people are seeing out of stock, clear their cache and its back in stock. Some slickguns users called and were told OOS on the phone but it still is able to be purchased online... Good thing I'm flush with CCI Tactical 22

I haven't dealt with Ruger but the Springfield customer service is outstanding if anything were to go wrong. I would have bought the RO if I wanted a park'ed 1911. I ended up with a loaded.

Website says 0561 has the ELMAX, yes? Looks giant.

I had been lusting after the ZT 0350 as a new EDC assisted flipper. But then I see there's the 0566 "coming soon"...now I know few people have seen the 0566 in person but is there a good reason to wait? 0566: Rick Hinderer design ELMAX steel Frame lock Available summer...maybe... 0350: Ken Onion design S30V steel Liner lock Available now Everything else is virtually the same, compare here: http://zt.kaiusaltd.com/knives Even the steels are both powdered stainless (the wise internet says ELMAX is great...I started to browse the spec sheets but got bored and stopped) Oh and if anybody wants a SOG Flash II hit me up EDIT: Had Onion/Hinderer backwards originally

Elephants are a gray area though

Got my packet. The lady was very nice (she always is) but said approval is unlikely. She wished me luck, I don't even think she was being sarcastic.

And XD is SSP now. And the times for classifiers were realigned. Lots of seemingly minor changes that might become major in rare circumstances... Remember its still in draft form. There's a cacophony of complaining over at Brian Enos so things might still change.

No love for .338 Lapua Magnum?

Yeah I saw that but I think I'll still show my face anyway. But my PD has a pretty friendly front office.

I received this as part of a larger email this weekend, I see it's on the Facebook page but I didnt' see it on NJGF: I intend to get over to my PD Friday

I kinda feel the same way, it seems that they're more for the seller. If the buyer were to go do something wrong with them you can show the fuzz that you sold that gun. I could be way off though.

I guess if we can't repeal the "straight to-and-from" then being allowed to go peepee is the next best thing...?

Huh. My 10-rounders have the hole

You can use one of the Black Dog mag loaders on your 15-22 although it doesn't fit perfectly http://blackdogmachinellc.net/loader-ar-15-m16--22lr-thumb-loader-by-christie-s-products.aspx Doesn't the follower in your 15-22 mags have a hole? I use a chamber flag poked through that hole to pull the follower down, then the rounds plop right in

That's the exact set I use. You'll read complaints online from people that can't get the crimp right with the combination seater/crimper but I firmly believe those people didn't or can't follow directions.

Do you really think that's "unintended"?

http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=a0314cff3bfedfbb6d7b047f5&id=47e7942aee&e=bedc52b7aa Code NRA13 I don't NEEEEED new grips but...tempting...

That's an interesting picture selection. I kinda feel she's giving gun owners the finger, eh? Haha Screencap here in case they change it Hmm, can't upload for some reason. Oh well, go look.

The mil spec on 5.56 requires the discoloration from annealing to be left there. Perhaps someone thought Lake City might skip that step. Most commercial brass makers polish off the annealing marks to make it prettier. I think ALL cases are annealed, certainly all necked rifle cases. If they weren't you'd have some severe work hardening at the top from the draw forming and they'd probably split.

Never been asked either. Purchased HG ammo as well as components.

I get 6 gallons and boil it down to 5 no particular time requirement but it takes a while because I don't have especially big pots. Then it takes a while longer to cool, you can't pitch the yeast when its hot.
