    HELP Resized cartridges will not enter the chamber?????

    No, it won't. Die manufacturers don't make dies that go all the way down to the belt because belt thicknesses (or widths) vary greatly between brands. And you're only taking just a bit off the die or shellholder anyway and that's far under the possible overlaps of tolerances. So basically...

    Situational Ethics, a question

    They did, after it was over. I was told lawyers got involved, the State considered banning raffles, but in the end it was decided that a third party or someone ineligible to win could handle the raffle drawings. So that's where it's at now. Shocking to me it's still allowed since my state is...

    weighing VS throwing powder

    Exactamundo! To me, claiming to be able to tell what one kernel of powder does in the terribly inefficient process of solid to gas combustion is similar to saying that you can tell what one drop of octane booster does when added to your gas tank by measuring the increase in speed simply by...

    setting shoulder back

    Just to clarify, DON'T get rid of the expander ball if you're using a standard FL die! Only get rid of it if you're using a neck bushing FL die.;)

    Situational Ethics, a question

    There have been two complaints about this very thing in years past at the raffle I mentioned. One of my friends personally saw the drawer palm a ticket. And there was one guy who lives in my county that has drawn two raffle tags kinda like Al's example. The odds of drawing once............in...

    Situational Ethics, a question

    The problem lies in the fact that these tags are not transferable. The son can't give it to his dad legally, and he can't use it himself this year. But because his dad "greased the wheels" a bit with auction buys, they handed him the grand prize despite the obvious white elephant in the room...

    Situational Ethics, a question

    I witnessed one that was also very "interesting" last weekend. I attended the annual Foundation for North American Wild Sheep raffle and auction. In this meeting, your membership dues gave you one ticket in the raffle in which you could win a $35,000 Stone Sheep hunt (you don't really win it...

    what chrono you guys using

    It's out of your price range, but the only one that I've seen meet your requirement of reliability is the Oehler 35. I've never seen one not work so long as the battery was good. Can't say that of any other. Saw two CEDM2 chrono's crap out and probably half a dozen Shooter's Chrony's go down...

    HELP Resized cartridges will not enter the chamber?????

    My guess is that your FL die is long or your shellholder is too tall. Or both. In 8 years of troubleshooting similar problems in retail reloading business, I would say this problem happened on average of twice per week. Off the shelf dies frequently come too long. Or if you want to look at...

    Probably a stupid question, But

    The resistance should NOT change over the entire length of the threads. If it does, then you're making your threads too tight!

    UPS vs USPS

    Go USPS every chance you get. The last time I used UPS, I was charged a rural residential fee (because the recipient lived in the sticks), a fuel surcharge fee (whatever the #ell that is???), and a handling fee in addition to a regular rate charge. By the time I payed for insurance, it was...

    Cleaning Question

    My coyote rifle stays dirty most of the year. Only two things make me clean it: If I see a change in point of impact (gradually or suddenly). This is due to carbon buildup and pressures increasing. And, If I start to see blue or green streaks appearing at the muzzle. If that happens, I check...

    Shilen barrel what twist/grain should i get?

    Then that begs the question why you're here...............you don't do either, yet you remain?:confused: Seems the OP has as much right to be here as you do then doesn't it?

    Don't blame Obama.....

    Again, I have to disagree with this. You make it sound like the popular vote was 99 to 1. In fact, it has been much closer to 50/50 everytime. That means there's still half the country that thinks the Republican party still does have something good going for them. It ain't just for old...

    The Entire NBRSA Membership

    Wilbur, if extremist muslims planned it, it would only take a couple dozen folks bent on religious beliefs and raised to believe their whole lives that America is pure evil and deserves to die. Not all that hard to do. If Americans planned it, then it would take thousands and thousands of...

    The Entire NBRSA Membership

    'Tis pretty shocking! Common sense should tell us that there would have to be tens of thousands of people involved to pull that kind of thing off. We can't even pull off a budget plan, so how could someone believe that we could orchestrate something as complicated as 9/11?

    Don't blame Obama.....

    So, how many states allow only something as simple as a utility bill or library card to vote? In other words, how many folks who are not US citizens got to cast a vote for Obama? And why is this sort of thing going on in the first place?

    Don't blame Obama.....

    I know, my home state doesn't matter in the EC. That wasn't my point. My point was that we had the highest support of Romney of any state in the Union and the lowest favor of Obama anywhere--including Texas.

    Very sad to hear. He was a great man and his sense of humor will sorely be missed. RIP Jerrell.
