As far as I'm concerned, to think that there's anything wrong with a suicide gun that makes it somehow "evil" or "bad" is the same way antis feel about guns in general. Actually, for me, I wouldn't have any compunctions with a suicide gun, they're usually cheaper, and it's a bit of "history" to a gun. I don't think it really gives bad joo-joo, I think it sort of makes it kind of badass.

Well, it looks like we can expect some more stringent laws to come down sometime soon....

I used the campher, and most of them were fine, but I've had two primers get stuck, and not go in, which is prompting me to go back and decrimp all my shells again. Perhaps I'm just being a little too sheepish... ...You read those reloading manuals, and they damn near scare you out of pursuing it lol.

Excellent, that's what I have, I wasn't sure if I had to remove the entire ring there or not. and Glenn P thanks for the picture, I looked on google, but I wasn't exactly sure what part was the crimp or not. Actually, I didn't even notice the rings, glad you pointed that out, thank you!

I've begun reloading, and I have quite a bit of Lake City brass, which I've cleaned, deprimed, and cleaned the primer pockets out. However, I'm not sure if I decrimped them or not, I really don't see any crimps in the primer pocket. I was wondering if anyone had a photo of what the crimps look like, so I can be sure I have them out, and how to remove them. I used a Lee primer Pocket cleaner, and they appear to be smooth on the inside, but I want to make sure before I reprime them, since I know that can set a primer off in one's hand, something I want to avoid.

That's what I just bought. So how do I know if I've decrimped them? I used a primer pocket cleaner, and scraped out the primer pocket.

Actually, the cases were given to me dented. I've also noticed a good number of them seem to be "flattened" at the case mouth. that is, instead of being a circle, they're round with a little flat area. I was given the cases by a member from the forum who reloads and wanted to give me something to start with, I trust him 100%, I just want to make sure I don't screw anything up. It's lake city brass by the way.

I plan to take my niece to the range when she's a bit older, though We'd have to keep that clandestine from my mother, who would lose her head. Ironically, my sister would be fine with taking her daughter to plink a .22. Of course, my niece is only 2, so perhaps that's a bit too young. I guess I ought to wait a few more years XD.

I went to 4 pet stores, and no one had it. I did realize just how much of a dumbass I am though. the guy who I bought the tumbler off of had media inside of it. It was red, so I did not think it was walnut.... ...Until I found, online, pictures of walnut mixed with "red rouge" polish. That's why my walnut didn't look like walnut media... Fortunately, I saved it, and used it to tumble my brass, it came out nice, and I noticed a small crack in one shell I had not noticed before, so I clamped the mouth shut, and threw it into a bucket I have for unusable brass. Speaking of which, how can I identify which defects are too serious? Obviously any cracks make shells unusable, but i'm curious about dents in the case body. There are quite a few shells with minor dents in the body.

For a second, after seeing the title I thought perhaps there were considerations to do away with the FID system due to cost, or at least make it computer based to speed it up, or something else. I suppose we should be happy though, since, for once, it's not a law being passed to limit rights. I suppose neutral is better than negative...

Actually, it's true, I'm looking forward to it. The thing is, you can't take the movie in earnest, and you have to accept it as the parody that it is. An example which I'm sure almost none of you are familiar with (but which is quite good) is Cromartie High school, an anime (and manga) parody of the "Delinquent" anime produced in the 80s, and which parodies the genre as a whole. That's sort of what this movie is doing, it's parodying historical fiction, and the current obsession with vampires, and the thing that makes it funny is the absolutely ludicrous idea of Hones Abe bringing the axe to some undead. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they made Jefferson Davis the head of the vampires.

I like the 7.62 cans personally. They fit my 8mm boxes quite well, and I can fit my .22lr boxes in them as well. They're nice boxes really. I actually went to buy some ammo cans at the Berlin mart, but I got there just as the guy was closing up shop.

I like J0n a lot, but I have to question his judgement.... Not a glock fan XD.

The Lyman Manual, for 158gr HP says IMR-4227 sugg. starting grains=12.2 velocity (fps) 944 pressure C.U.P.=21,500 Max load=16.1 Velocity=1249 Pressure=41,400 I didn't see any data on the trailboss powder though.

I have the lyman 49th edition manual right near me if you want me to look it up.

I just used a paperclip and poked at the stuff to get it out. Apparently this happens a bit with "cheap media" (read: corn cob hamster bedding) as the size of it is only slightly smaller than .223 brass. Not matter, I got it all out, even if it took a while. I'm going to see if I can't find some finer media later today.

I just manually got them all out. It took forever.

I've got almost everything, apart from a powder measure, but I'm doign my final check-list, and I was wondering. Do the shell holders taht come with Lee dies fit into the Lee hand priming tool? I wasn't sure if they used to different types of shell holders or not, just figured I'd ask now so I could order it now. Also, taking some advice I read online, I bought corncob hamster bedding to tumble my cases in, it's polished them quite well, but the problem is that it has gotten stuck inside the cases. I imagine I can get it out easy enough, but is this a huge issue? or is there anyway I can avoid this in the future? I'm tumbling .223 brass.

I was looking for this for a different thread, but i'll share it here before i lose the link again. http://www.squidoo.com/worst-state-ever

bump, sort if the market for a cheap scope maybe, though I need AR ironsights, and a powder measure more. Hell, if anyone has any other reloading supplies, IE primers, varget, or .223 bullets, let me know.

Is it me, or does it move too fast? I can't follow the action. Still pretty neat though.

When that show came out, I was pretty relieved that I don't have a drop of Italian in me. My friend, who is very Italian, thinks it's the coolest thing ever. Of course, as with everything bad with NJ, they all come from New York.

Why watch that when I obviously have the internet. I have more valuable things I could be watching...like porn. XD

I know! It's weird, I mean, sure my gun fires 8mm mauser, but It's not like I'm using 7mag for deer haha. It's only slightly (almost imperceptibly so) larger than the .30-06. Course, I really don't care, I'd use it, but I don't think my friend will bring me if I use that haha.
