I will be at the Arizona State Capital this Saturday, January 19th at high noon, along with over 100 of my family, friends and students. This is just the first of many events we must attend to peacefully make it loud and clear our determination to resist any infringement proposed on our 2nd...

I have virgin brass that measures .893" and a 20 round sample of once fired and many fires, runs .885" - .894". I don't trim 45 ACP brass. I load it in a Dillon 650 using Dillon dies, Dillon carbide FL, flare mouth with the Dillon power drop tube, Dillon seater die, and finally the Dillon...

.....ditto...on Mr. Thomas ^^^^ Although I'm competitive, I don't participate in the formal sports shooting competition. So, like yourself I'm more interested in the results of the first shot, than the results of attempting an X ring on the 10 round. When developing loads and tuning a rifle...

Actually Kevin, I think we agree......my term "felt recoil" is probably based on your term "softer"........giving the impression the recoil is less. The 1911 and Glock 21 are both recoil cycle activated against a recoil main spring designs. If tested I would think actual recoil force on the...

Almost all auto loading pistol of the Glock design are setup for full power factory loads. If I wanted to shoot reduced loads I would expect to replace the main spring to compensate for the reduction in recoil function. Each main spring has some flexibility as to the handload it will...

That would be 57.5* for my bullet..... .......E6

For many years I have used an RCBS 304 balance beam scale. They were made by Ohaus as the Dial-O-Grain and branded by RCBS as the model 304. Accurate to .1 grain and maybe a bit more depending your judgement of the dial setting. I've used others and digitals but this is the one I use the most...

.....well I thought I would ask mvf22 what type of long range class he was going to attend and when in the spring. I was thinking the answer to those 2 questions would help me make a more meaningful reply.....until I realized he has only one post....this thread and that was back in November of...

UPDATE: Brass Tumbler - Off-Grid - Questions I went with the small Frankfort Arsenal as you suggested after contacting several manufacturers and checking with some other sights and reloaders. It's pulling a tad less then rated at about .75 amps. Takes about 45 minutes to clean a hundred...

I use .25 MOA and 1 MOA turrets, and recently tried .1 MIL. Most of my shooting is 600-1200 yards using the inferior 30 cal. Most of the shooting is stress time framed, with elevation and windage holds common place. I prefer the 1 MOA, but get along with the quarter MOA and the .1 MIL. I...

......isn't that the truth! Many times since I thought I got over it. I was wrong, I'll never get over it. I have managed to live with it, in a civilized way (.....well, mostly civilized). Best Regards......Eagle Six

Thanks to all the Vets, the Vet families and the Vet supporters! US Army 65-71, 11Bravo 66-67 1/7 Cav, 1st Air Cav Div....... Over 40 years ago for most Americans, but only 40 seconds for the Vets. Sad, but there are times I actually miss it!! Best Regards......Eagle Six

Thanks lefty, I appreciate the information, that helps. Best Regards......E6

Getting to the point...... - Those who are tumbling off-grid (battery - solar/wind/hydra power) may have the best answer......which brass tumbler works best for you? But, also those plugged into the grid could answer some questions and it would be most helpful..... - What tumbler do you use...

Thanks folks for all the replies and valued information. Considering a typical caliber such as a 308 or 06, please take this statement and change what you think is incorrect..... "The sequence of case expansion would be the neck, shoulder, body, head/base." Would it be accurate to say the...
