If they wont seat all the way you will need to get a primer pocket uniforming tool. High primers are dangerous. Cycling a few manually is not a good indicator of whether or not a slam fire will happen at the range. A high primer is believed to be the common cause of the not too common slamfire. Why risk it? You only get one face and one set of hands in life. Did you notice any overpressure signs? Where the primers you popped out totally flattened or blown out where the firing pin hit it? Even cheap brass usually wont distort a primer pocket that bad unless it was a HOT load last time around. Ken

If they cant even speak the same language as the arresting officer than how can their own words be... oh forget it. This country is just about gone to hell anymore... Declare English as the official language of the US of A and put an end to all this crap rite now. Ken

Yep, your rite.. That is even funnier! Ken

Heres a new link to the same thing since the first one is gone. Just skip rite to 42 seconds. Ken

I cant believe that she actually read that on the air and didnt miss a beat. I dam near spit soda all over my computer the first time I heard just the first name. By the last name I think there where tears in my eyes. Ken

Ive lived almost everywhere and picked up pieces of accent and regional words from everywhere. It actually does say red pop on the can in this particular case though! Ken

I hate the heat, I hate summer, and I really really hate humidity. I dont shoot much at all in the summer. It takes too long for the guns to cool down and I feel like Im walking in the desert when I go to change a target. Once in a while Ill hit the indoor pistol range in the middle of the night but thats about it. I shoot a LOT when it starts to cool off though. I have all summer to reload everything I shoot in the fall, winter and spring. By the time summer is over I have a good stash. Ken

I get that stuff anytime I go out west. The red pop is surprisingly good. I only found out about it because I got soaked in it at a concert, juggalo related. No luck on the raspery schweps anywhere I have been lately. (Rt 130 shoprite, east windsor, Walmart East windsor, and target) Ken

My favorite with the MK III are the CCI mini mags. I know you have to take what you can get rite now though. That fact has showed me that my MK III will feed and shoot anything including the standard velocity rounds very well. This ammo crunch also taught me that the most accurate ammo for my MK III is the CCI Velocitor. Take what you can get and give it a try. The MK III is a fairly forgiving gun in my experiences. I did change the extractor in it though due to way to many FTE's wich could contribute to its tollerance of any ammo. Ken

Interesting indeed. It would seem as though it can be done. The question is, Why would you? Ken

Ill second the ultramax is junk thread. I almost thew out a box of that crap in 40 it was so bad. Very inconsistent, inaccurate, smokey, and dirty. I started to reload my own 40 cal after that and could not be happier. I did not try any of the other brands posted above but I did hear others that said about the same thing. Ken

Thats cool. I was starting to wonder if they keep putting them up and im just missing it. I know stuff goes way fast as of late. Ill make myself nuts trying to find something, now, back to trying to find powder! Ken

Look people, I am not here to say that the cops where rite or the kid was wrong. Actually, what they did with the dog is BS in my opinion. Dont go into a checkpoint and refuse to follow the first thing your told to do and these things dont happen. That is my point. None of this would ever have happened if he would have just rolled his window down. If he would have just rolled down his window and had a short conversation with the cop he would be on his way and never told them is name. If you think he was rite, go do that crap on the Rt37 bridge by seaside when they set up a checkpoint and see if it goes any better. Im all for the preservation of my rite not to get killed by a drunk. I have no problem with DUI check points at all. I have never been asked anything other than some non descript question. Usually not the "have you been drinking" one either. The officers use this to determine if you may have been drinking. Ken

See my post above Ken

He didnt force the cop. By acting like an asshole and refusing to roll down his window he provoked further inspection. If you have ever dealt with a person that is out of thier mind on drugs you would think differently. If he would have just rolled down his window he would have been on his way. Ken

Once in a while you can get 12ga shell crackers at cheyanne mountain outfitters. It is basically an M80 crammed into a shotshell. They are designed for bird dissipation but they are neat to play with. Ken

What the hell! Still not there. Do they just put up small batches every couple of hours or something. The only thing there now is small pistol, large pistol, and 209 primers. No riffle primers at all. Ken

If he wasnt being such an ass and just rolled his window down he would not have been detained, ID'd, searched, or delayed. I understand the fundamental idea of the subject in the video but if you are gonna act like an ass you are going to raise suspicion. This whole "Im gonna go out and make a cop violate my rites" crap really pisses me off. If he started out being cooperative and it went the way it did thats another story altogether. Ken

Dam. They are not there now... Thanks anyway! Ken

Heres some value priced 22lr to go with that... http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM0763 I just bought the same dam thing at a local store for $29 and I thought that was crazy. Screw you cheaper than dirt and USAmmo too. Ken

For some reason the winchester primers are the hardest to find. I have found almost everything locally and online except winchesters. I have worked up a couple of loads that only work the way I like with WSR primers. Ken

If you shoot a lot it will be worth it over time. Rite now is not the greatest time to get into reloading as presses, dies, and other supplies are somewhat scarce. In an ideal world where you can get the supplies you need it is indeed cheaper over time. Unfortunately relaoding components are up higher than they should be so it takes a bigger innitial investment and longer to see a savings. I mainly reload 223, 308, and 40. I can tell you that I saved a whole lot of money over the years. Ken

I dont think that article is worth much. You can still buy military brass at auctions like this http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/search?cmd=results&fromsearch=true&words=brass Granted, there is not much for sale at the moment but they just sold a bunch (tons, literally, 8000lb lots) of 556 and 762. Since then, companies like brassman.com seem to have re stocked on military brass. Now, there is some brass that must be destroyed but I dont think anyone here has a cannon that could shoot it anyway. Rite now there is an 11,000 lb lot of 50cal on there from Fort Drum. Theres probably more but I only looked at the first page. Doesnt sound like what the article says to me. Ken

They are crap. Most of the bullets are not even crimped tight into the case and you can hear a shot to shot difference in my MK III. But, if thats all you can get and they are not stupid expensive, you might as well get some. Ken

Sedgehammer (as posted above) worke great if you follow the instructions. Good Stuff Ken
