Case Mark Signs
I had use CCI 400 primers. Though it wasn't really a question about primers. It's the cases I was more concerned about. Primers look good to me but I can switch to thicker ones. From what I've read, Starline small primer still has a larger flash hole. Given the precision of the rounds, I don't see any really reason for going higher with loads. I'll probably experiment between 39.5-40gr. I see people online saying their normal 6.5 CM load is 43gr of H4350 but I'm fine where I'm at. Yes, I checked every round just to be certain before using them. No issues. It seems just like a cosmetic thing but I wanted to be sure.

Case Mark Signs
Fired some 6.5 Creedmoor yesterday. Loaded it based on Sierra's manual. 2.810" C.O.A.L. Fresh Starline brass Hodgdon H4350 40gr (RCBS Charmaster, double checked on my Lee Safety Scale). Hodgdon says 38.8-41.5gr. Sierra says 39.2-41.9gr. Saw a lot of people having success between 41-41.5gr so I thought I'd back it off a grain. 142gr SMK Well, as you can see at 100 yards indoors, it proved accurate. But I have some questions about the brass and I've seen some ambiguous things online. 20191202_215417 - Unused brass, brand new. 20191202_215449 - Once fired, loaded as mentioned. 20191202_21439 - Primers of those three rounds. 20191202_215707 - Once fired American Eagle 120gr OTM So for the once fired, Starline brass, I see three lines all about the same distance. Is this from pressure? The primers look normal as pictured. I see no issues the rest of the cases. Read https://sierrabulletsblog.com/2015/08/12/reloading-101-case-diagnostics/ and It looks like example #5. It looks cosmetic and there's no bulge. Am I just imagining things and this isn't actually an issue at all? Just want to be thorough and check with other people experienced in reloading.

Wisconsin high school resource officer shoots armed student who wouldn't 'hand over the gun,' police say
Agreed. Responsible ownership needs to be stressed. Thank God the resource officer reacted so fast and no one innocent got hurt.

SCOTUS agrees to hear 2A case from NYC
I bet most people, regardless of stance on 2A, couldn't actually name the case off-hand. Honestly, I'm confused as to why so many people think there will be a huge change in history from this case. It sounds like Roberts wants to punt this down the road so it doesn't get blown out of proportion. But even if they hear it, what landmark ruling are people expecting to happen? This is a case on whether or not you can carry guns outside the city and between your own properties. I have a hard time believing it would even be a close vote. But it's not like we'll suddenly gain an abundance of new freedoms.

Range 14 was closed today
I've been struggling to find a nice weekend when I'm not busy to go. Usually try for 8-9 AM arrival time cause it can get crowded. Still need to get some chronograph time in.

Range 14 was closed today
Load that table up. It's yours to do with it as you please. That guy on the mic is funny. But yea, he'll be quick to call out anything stupid. I use one of their targets, but I staple my own splatter targets over it so I can better see where I hit. If it's not windy, they work well. If the RSO knows you are picking up your own brass, they've sometime swept up my used brass into a pile behind me to make it easier to pick up. Cool folks. Red = Range is hot Green = Range is clear

BB & Pellet Guns
Which law specifically are you questioning? Will it be treated like firing an actual gun in close proximity to neighbors? I'd imagine so. That's a town ordinance thing. You'd have to check your town's ordinances to see the punishment. Many have limits as to how far you have to be from a house or school.

RGB DEAD??? Or close to it??
Well, we did that in 2012 but your side said the EXACT same thing I said when the 2016 election was coming up. So fair is fair.

RGB DEAD??? Or close to it??
God forbid something happen to her, I think we should let the people decide with their votes in the 2020 election on who should nominate a Supreme Court justice.

Another questionable Red Flag case?
Let's face it, he threatened the doctor in a veiled manner. "I know where you live" is a universally known implied threat. Whether it's right he immediately lost his guns without actually any investigation into him being a danger is wrong. But let's not pretend he's totally innocent and wasn't an idiot in making that comment with today's laws in effect.

Blown brass
That'd be my guess. My co-worker was just telling me about this problem. Always a good lunch story from him about things he's seen and reloading topics. https://www.amazon.com/UTG-223-Broken-Shell-Extractor/dp/B002TUSJZ2 Cheap 223 tool. Insert, lock the bolt, pull the bolt back and it yanks the case head out. Not sure about 5.7 though. It MIGHT work since 5.56 is just a hair smaller than 5.7.

1,000 Yards... what is involved...
Still haven't gotten to an outdoor range in the past month to get some chronograph time in. Got multiple loads of .223 and 6.5 CM I need to test so I can chart it.
