Help! Need 500rd Brick of .22LR ( cheap and High Velocity)
I was able to order 10 boxes and I'm not even sure what this ammo is. Doesn't the CCI Tactical come in boxes of 375? The description says box of 300.

State legislators and judges - can they get carry permits?
Yes, since they decide who can have permits. Must have been a republican.

once fired brass too short??
Typically you would run them through the sizing process before checking the length since sizing can stretch them a bit.

help me reach my goal
You may be flinching - to find out, use a ball and dummy drill. Keep in mind that you must not know where the dummy rounds are in the magazine ie: whether it's the second, third, fourth, etc. so have a friend load them or use a few magazines and randomize them. If you're not using a laser then just watch what happens to your point of aim when you dryfire on the dummy.

Judge Rules NJ Towns Can NOT Arbitrarily Add Additional Requirements for Gun Permits
Good news, but I'm sure the applicant won' be getting his permits within 30 days either.

Suggestions on reloading
Deprime/resize...is it easier to get a single stage press and do that on there? The Lee Turret press can easily and quickly be configured to a single stage press by removing the auto indexing rod. Case trimmer...what kind. Little Crow works well... http://www.brownells.com/reloading/case-preparation/case-trimming/case-trimmers/worlds-finest-trimmer-308-winchester-sku749013296-45315-101631.aspx?cm_mmc=cse-_-Itwine-_-shopping-_-Little%20Crow%20Gunworks%20Worlds%20Finest%20Trimmer&gdftrk=gdfV21820_a_7c187_a_7c1021_a_7c749013296_d_749013292_d_20591 The Giraurd is probably the best... http://www.giraudtool.com/prod02.htm Tumbler...what kind? I started with a dry tumbler and ended up building a wet one. What's a good powder to start with for .223 55 gr? Availability in these times. W748 and Varget are excellent powders. What kind of primers to start? Availability in these times. Do not use Remington 6 1/2's for .223. What else do I need to start? Caliper, scale, funnel, books (lots of reading and research), puller, case lube, rifle case gauges, trimming and deburring tools, primer pocket swagging tools for mil brass. An autodisk riser and die plate for each caliber. This way you won't have to re-adjust whenever changing calibers. http://leeprecision.com/auto-disk-riser.html http://leeprecision.com/4-hole-turret.html Extra auto index squares, clamp and depriming die with extra rods. You will definitely break these parts when learning the use of the press... http://leeprecision.com/decapping-die.html http://leeprecision.com/square-ratchet.html http://leeprecision.com/auto-index-clamp.html Regarding rifle (assuming you got the deluxe kit that already comes with the powder and priming setups)-- Rifle powder through die http://leeprecision.com/rifle-charging-die.html Double disk kit http://leeprecision.com/double-disk-kit.html

removing live primers...
As long as there is nothing flammable (powder, etc...) nearby, always wear eyepro and do it gently. This may sound crazy - but you may want to get accustomed to seeing a primer go off in open air just so you know what you're working with. I often take primers that got mashed while trying to seat them and dispose of them by detonating them by squeezing them in a pair of wire nippers - using common sense off course - protect yourself with eyepro and a towel or tarp. They're about as loud as smacking a hammer on a 2X4.

.223/5.56 crimp removal
It is this item from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/NIBCO-1-in-Copper-Cup-x-Cup-Coupling-with-Stop-C600/100345530?keyword=039923309082# The two machine screws are needed to stop the ejector on the ram's down stroke for popping the case off the swagging nipple. Drill holes for the screws just slightly smaller than the size of them so that they thread themselves into the copper. Screw them in far enough to so that they catch the ejector, but not too far that they interfere with the ram.

.223/5.56 crimp removal
True, but with a simple add on modification, it will work fine. I used a copper tubing coupler with a couple of machine screws in it to fit over the ram and hold the RCBS case ejector thing. It works perfect.

Worlds Finest Trimmer... Anyone Use It?
I use one for .223 and it works well. The cases have to be sized before trimming because it measures off the shoulder. I use a Lee sizing die and the cases often get stuck in the trimmer due to leaving the case mouth too large (I believe). It is fast and it leaves a nice clean edge that needs very little de-burring, but it takes a while to get the right feel for how much pressure to use.

Some real grungy brass turned to Bling
What about just gluing some square pvc to the inside of the drum for the agitators? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Veranda-3-4-in-x-1-1-2-in-x-8-ft-Cellular-PVC-Trim-White-H190HWS3/100275037 Maybe round it a little bit with some sandpaper so it fits to the curvature of the drum. What is used for the rollers? Is that 1/2" gas line pipe? Is that a 1/3 hp motor? Can you get away with using a smaller motor?

Another new gun shop?
It's visible from the parkway through the trees heading south. They have a large sign that says "Gun Store" or "Gun Shop", something like that.
