  1. Take a trip up to Clarksville to Midsouth; http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/ they have great prices on most items - just have to pay TN tax.
  2. Shawn's the "man"! You can purchase from him and will be pleased. Have bought many items from him and will continue. Highly recommend!
  3. Good thing there's plenty of places to purchase reloading items - kinda like radio or TV you can change the channel or turn it off if you don't like it.
  4. Sold my Dillon 550 to get a Hornady Lock-N-Load and have been nothing but "pleased" with my purchase. The ejector spring is a weak link however, the powder drop more than makes up for it in "very" consistent drops. 5 stations vs. 4 means a little quicker time frame and I think the customer service from both is outstanding (too bad more companies don't follow their lead) Can't really go wrong with either!
  5. One thing cool about reloading is that the bullet is assembled by you every step of the way. I have been reloading for over 20 years and have had "many" varieties of presses (currently Hornady Lock-N-Load & a Classic), however, the one constant is that I actually enjoy reloading just as much as shooting - since I'm really producing my own custom rounds for each caliber I shoot. I can spend hours weighing and measuring and just enjoy the heck out of it. Oh you do save quite a bit of $ compared to most production ammo prices, however the accuracy of hand loads is much better. IMHO
  6. I remember a fella who shot 1000's of of rounds of 175 & 200 SWC and his basic OAL rule of thumb was a thumbnail width of bullet above the case. He also checked them with a case gauge for extra insurance. I think a 45acp case gauge is "very" cheap insurance and you can buy them from most reloading stores - in fact I'll bet the Reloader's Bench in Mt. Juliet has a selection of em.
  7. Going to be in Chattanooga early in the week, might try to run down there and take a look. Thanks
  8. Here's the pics, I'm gonna get it out this weekend! All in all a pretty sweet deal, however, two of the mags were pretty chewed up, however, it does have extended slide release, channel plug, LoneWolf SS guide rod assbly (all the original Glock parts), slide buffer stop, 70 rounds of Speer Lawman 125 gr 357sig ammo, & some 40SW brass. I'm pretty happy with it, I know he and his wife needed the cash badly and I didn't talk him down any on price. Oh yea - I brought them pizza and beer for selling the pistol!
  9. I'll Pick it up this afternoon! Thanks for the feedback. Post some pics if want.
  10. I know someone who shoots a 9mm in his G35 can't do that in a 34. However, having loaded for 40SW I know it can have really low recoil factors. Just never owned a Glock so not sure of capabilities. Have had HKs & Sigs! JUst thought a good price and helping a buddy out who needs cash.
  11. Remember the old Lays potato chip commercial - Betcha can't eat just one! Same applies here- except you usually end up with more than one
  12. Are these old rifles getting harder to find? I used to see them fairly frequently - trying to decide between another Garand or a 1903. I'm not that old just appreciate the old technology. If anybody knows of a decent one let me know!
  13. Got a chance to get a Glock 35, low round count 5-15 round mags, Dawson green front sight, Glock adjustable rear, extended mag release, tupperware case with all the original stuff, original and 2 extra barrels (LoneWolf 357 Sig & LoneWolf 40SW-to shoot lead). Owner does not like the 40SW round - too much recoil. I really like the 40SW and reload for it. Worth $499? or Opinions Please
  14. I'd like to hunt with my M1-Garand and the iron sites. Legal in TN?
  15. Glad you got it back - doesn't usually turn out that way! I would have waited for LEO response too. Course I wasn't there with adrenalin pumping and it's easy to armchair quarterback.
  16. My XD 40 Tactical was shooting way left when it returned from Tripp Inc. (Slide Matt chromed). I removed slide and put it in vise (rubber faced jaws) and moved it easily (rear sight) with nylon punch - no scars on any surface. It can be done, however, you need to be cautious and somewhat skilled with this approach.
  17. Bought a CZ453 from Reloader's Bench in Mt. Juliet, it is now one of my favorite rifles, cheap to shoot and extremely accurate.
  18. Congratulations on your new family member, she's a cutie. You must be very proud!! I'm like some of the other guys here, the show is marginal at best.
  19. I've been buying reloading supplies and optics from them for a couple of years now, I order the day before and drive up and pick it up from the order desk. Great folks to deal with!
  20. Thanks for the welcome! Very Happy to be a TN resident and member of the TNGUNOWNERS site:D
  21. Didn't know the price was so jacked up! YIKES Seems like the new option maybe better price wise. Gunbroker & Gunsamerica don't have much in the $450-$475 range either.
  22. Try this link: http://www.handloads.org/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=308%20Winchester&Weight=All&type=rifle&Order=Powder&Source= Lots of 308 data.100-200gr bullets, powder, primers, velocity, OAL, etc...
  23. Think the Reloader's Bench in Mt. Juliet had a used G34 a week ago.
  24. I did make it up to Dixon on Sunday and shot my first match there. All the participants were very friendly & helpful. I really liked the Palm Pilot for keeping the scoring and how it allows the scores to get posted very quickly. As far as my score - well I wasn't on the very bottom of the list, darn close though! Lots of room to improve. I really had a great time and can see how I'll spend a lot of time and money on this sport.
  25. Joined the site a dew days ago. Moved here from PA about a year ago and really like it here in the Nashville area, lots of places to shoot and compete. Great web site and folks - here! Steve Nolensville
