contrary load info
Published (2009-11-19 20:27:00)
i picked middle of the road, @ 25gr, any more would have been compressed load. im not too comfortable with compressed loads. its mostly going to be a plinking load @ 50-100yd. __________________ There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change.

Lee Classic Turret press question
Published (2009-11-19 10:37:00)
The shell holders will be included with the dies, not the press... How are they to know which shell holders you need when buying a press? However the dies are for a specific caliber and include a shell holder for that caliber..

Quincunx, you will admit that it is common to hear psychiatry and psychiatrists mistaken for psychology and psychologists. Glenn and I have had one or two good hearted exchanges over the difference between a witch doctor and a medical doctor (psychologist vs psychiatrist). Glenn pointed out that he held a PhD. So I do consider him a Doctor, but not a doctor. And to his credit, he doesn't portray himself as a medical doctor to my...

Rifle scope upgrade?
Published (2009-11-19 19:11:00)
You won''t see a difference in normal light. Shooting when it's really bright, the high class optics will give you less chromatic aberration around the outside, and you will get better dusk performance. I have the same VX-I on one of my rifles, and I think I can see a difference in picture "crispness" compared with a Zeiss Diavari, but if that's true or just "it's more expensive it has to be...

Wait, the M-11 is a DAK Sig? That trigger is horrendously heavy. I would assume the trigger on the M-11 would be the same style at the M9. I thought the M-11 was a P228 in DA/SA trigger configuration like most Sigs.

Auto or O/U?
Published (2009-11-19 19:02:00)
Quote: If a semi-auto is used at a range- do you just leave the shells on the ground? Depends on your club- most that I have shot at have no problem with you picking up empties; some do however. For singles, T&S makes a shell catcher that will slip on your gun so the empty sticks out of the receiver for you to easily get it.

Nope. Look at groceries. Every time the price of gas went up 50 cents, $100 worth of groceries suddenly cost $10 more. Did the supermarkets drop their prices when fuel costs went back down? Heck no, they just waited for the next increase in fuel prices and continued jacking their prices.

Gunk in the firing pin channel slowing the striker down possibly. I know very little about reloading but could those primers not be seated correctly or just happen to be a little harder then normal? __________________ "Is there anyway I can write my local gun store off on my taxes as dependents?"

I think if you cut a 230 grain FMJ load by about .5 grains you should be OK to start. You can always back down from there, but I really don't think there is anything to worry about. Try those and if you have access to a chronograph check velocity and work up to about 850fps. Should shoot about like factory as 231 is a good choice in 45. rc

I don't think you can get 30 grains in a .36 Navy cylinder without some heavy duty compressing & even then the ball may stick out. The most I've ever gotten in one of mine (1982 vintage Uberti) was 26 grains with a 380 ball and no wad. Using a calibrated pistol measure, 30 grains overflows the chamber. FM

Static??? You don't mention the type of measure you are using. On a measure with plastic parts it's helpful to wipe down the "measuring" parts with a dryer sheet which you can swipe from the laundry supplies. __________________ ricklin Freedom is not free

Do modern micro-9mm guns make the .380 obsolete? Even though there seems to be a huge resurgence of .380 pistols in the past year I have started to wonder if the micro-9mm pistols of today have made the .380 a nearly obsolete round. These days you can get a 9mm pistol in pretty much as small a package as most .380 guns. They...

Those situations happen fast, and it sounds like you maintained a very level head throughout the encounter. You didn't lose your cool, and you kept a close mental evaluation on the situation as it arose. Sometimes calling the cops in fast paced situation could slow you down more than help you.
