I load 45-70 with the Lee handpress...it is easier than 9mm!

However, looking at the video, you mean the Lee loader...not the handpress. Sorry...no experience there.

Thanks all for the feedback. Here is a detailed review of the ammo from one purchaser. In short, looks like a good deal for the bullets, ...and .300 BO fans: "Bought some REJECT .223 and 9mm ammo from D. at a dime a cartridge. He advertised the .223 as having about 1 in 3 split necked casings a...

At $100 per 1000 rounds, I'm tempted to try some for range ammo. Heck the bullets alone are worth that, much less primed cases, even if I have to pull them.

alnitak

The local classifieds is selling "factory reject ammo" for 9mm and .223 for breakdown into components. Bullets, brass look good and cases are primed. I've seen factory seconds ammo, where there is a blemish or something, but what exactly is rejected ammo? Are the loads inconsistent or low ...

Generally when I try to get on in the morning, EDT, I am unsuccessful. Tried again this morning at 10:00am and 10:15am, and couldn't connect either time. At 1:05pm (as I type this) things seem fine.

Was just at a friends house this weekend and they have voles. They use these posts that stick into the ground with a small solar cell on top that powers an audible sound. The sound (I guess, or some other electronic means) sets up a perimeter that the voles won't cross...at least that's the theory.

alnitak

Nice...and for a good price as well!

My main carry is a PM9...seems the best "compromise" for me, though during the winter I do have other larger options, both in size and caliber.

Any gun transaction out of state has to go through an FFL. If your transaction is in state, for rifles you do not have to go through an FFL and can ship directly to the person. (Sections B2 page 176 and B7 page 177 of the NFA) Would seem to me that the originator of a classified ad can always change...

What about the Kel-Tec KSG?? Two mag tubes and 12 rounds of 3" shells...gotta love it!

Always love seeing your collection items...great history!

I think it's great...Hobie deserves the help and all are respected members of the forum. I only have one request...can we please do something about the color? It is too bright and seems to be all I see when I read someone's post. Maybe a toned down blue, or even a deeper green, like a forest green. ...

It has extractors and cylinder bore...and no automatic safety: "Mossberg has taken a page from Stoeger’s ‘Double Defense’ playbook with their ‘Thunder Ranch’ edition of the HS2 over-under shotgun. Whatever influence Clint Smith actually had on this design is unknown, but whoever designed it had...

Out of my 1894 Trapper, I saw hardly any change to POA/POI between .44 mag and .44 specials at 25-50 yard ranges, if anything the specials were a hair lower (though within the margin of error for my shooting abilities). Now, for plinking, I load my mag cases to special levels and am GTG -- no sight ...

I didn't know the Bennellis were recoil operated. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't the gas operated guns do a better job of reducing recoil? Between 'recoil' and 'gas' operated, I'd assume that one would be more ammunition-tolerant than the other, and/or more reliable in general...is this ...

alnitak

2ndovc, tell us more. Could you make a valid, understandable recoil comparison to pumps? There are two basic systems...inertial (like the Benelli) and gas (like the Remington)...the gas ones are known to have lighter recoil than the inertial ones. I don't have much experience with them but did a to...

Griff, why do you tie down the handles on the shotgun reloaders? Isn't that just keeping tension on the springs?

I mentioned the cup thickness after reading about reloading for the .223 and came across this chart: Rifle primer size.jpg The author of this chart said in this article: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2012/03/primers-and-pressure-analysis-by-james-calhoon/ " (As a note of interest, small p...

I'll be using 'Lil Gun, 2400 or AA #9 as powder for an Amscor 110 grain FMJ bullet.

I've also read that people use SP primers as well. I have standar...

alnitak

Welcome. I actually find that my .44 Trapper seems to kick less than my .30-30. If you really want to tame the beast, load .44mag cases to .44 spl levels. Almost as easy shooting as .38's in a levergun.

alnitak

A hand press, electronic scale and a couple dippers are much more compact.

At the recent gun show $50 per pack was norm, and by the second day, there was none to be found.

Wow! All great dogs, and obviously loved companions. Malamute, you know I've commented before, but I love your dogs! I am so sorry to hear about your loss last year...those two were special. Your new one looks like she has a lot of personality!!

Last night I found a fellow that comes highly recommended, and is very reasonable on his prices. Mike Orlen charges $55 to cut a barrel for choke tubes + $15 return shipping. Think I'm going to go that route. That will also enable me to put a rifled choke tube in for slugs, which I already have for...

Bill, it's been said that the reason dogs have such a short life span is because they give so much to us. You have my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved companion.

OK...here are a couple of pictures. There is another screw 180* opposite of the one you see on the top. With locking ring against the eyepiece: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/alnitak2/c92b167d-eb5f-4547-9c57-b112aa34d418.jpg With locking ring "loosened": http://i37.photobucket.com/a...

Adjust it the same as a fixed power scope but have the Power adjuster ring set for the power you want the scope to be the clearest in. Pull the rifle/scope up to your shoulder and look through it. The cross hair should be sharp instantly. Any time waiting will allow the eye to adjust to the error i...

Well, I have an older Weaver V7, 2.5x-7x variable scope. While the optics are sharp at low powers, when I go up in magnification the view gets a little blurry. I've read some on focusing scopes, and I suspect the variable power ones are a little different. The way I understand it, to focus a non-var...

You can shipped primed brass, but not through USPS...only UPS or FedEx (and ignore FedEx...they are too restrictive). No hazmat fee is required. UPS does say you need to have an ORM-D sticker on the box (I printed one off the net and taped it on), though most just recommend boxing it up and sending ...

Boy, Clint sounded good! I had called a couple of years ago and spoken to his wife and him. I guess he had suffered a stroke or something and was struggling. I am so glad to see this true American hero doing well!

alnitak

Short answer...yes. They all will work, last for 10-20+ reloads, and shoot just fine. I would sort them by headstamp, load them up and fire them off. I have seen no difference in my range plinking between any of the brass I use -- either factory bought or range pickup. Now, I only reload pistol cali...

Put a little piece of tape on the hammer. Slip the extension on to just where you want it. Check to make sure the positioning of the extension is correct. Recheck the positioning of the extension and then check everything again. Screw the set screw in to where the tape is clearly marked (marred). R...

Good to know...typically I find these things out after I mess up the job!

FWIW, I've used set-screw type offset hammer spurs for many years, w/o one loosening even a bit - until I did it myself for removal. If you're going to be taking the rifle completely apart - removing the hammer, etc - very often, then I suppose the threads could wear (the offset spurs are aluminum)...

alnitak

I've seen the Uncle Mike's that add on with a set screw. I've also read concerns about that set up holding, even with locktite on the screw.

Still, it's probably a better choice than me attempting to drill/tap and buggering up the hammer.

alnitak

I replaced the rebounding hammer in my 94AE, However, the new hammer doesn't have the hole to screw in a hammer extension. Does anyone know what drill and tap I would need to use to add the appropriate hole for a hammer extension?
