I am down for a grass roots effort to send these clowns a message that their constituents are not happy with their performance.  I don't care if their replacements are Dems, just that they support the 2nd Amendment and they do what they say they will do, whether I agree with it or not.  I feel if the majority of voters vote for someone based on what they campaign on then they darn well better do their best to do what they say or at least give it a good effort to do so.

Yea, but the first pic is what we emagine in our horny little minds. Then reality hits: As for the sig brace, I have two and will never pay any federal taxes on any of my weapons. Just can't see having to ask permission to cross state lines, or having to show some range safety officer my paperwork to shoot at public ranges, though I don't go to many of those. And I agree of which of the two I consider being bent over by the feds, voluntarily.

I am surprised our anti 2A news stations and politicians aren't capitalizing on stories like this: http://www.wsmv.com/story/28713441/shots-fired-at-officer-in-downtown-nashville

For that press mounted style just get locking collars (set screw) for the die, once set, lock the collar down.  Since you are using separate dies for each caliber you should be set.  The hand operated one has a case length guage which only needs to be screwed in all the way to be set.  With bench setups, like the Lyman I have, you make master cases which you use to set the locking collar.

Yes that is much better, I have a Lyman version that has the same aggressive chamfer and debur edge. But if you are not careful it will take too much off the case and make the case a bit shorter. If done by hand it works great, but I was still using a drill on the case holder and did not notice until later. The cases did not go below spec but I had less case so had to seat a little more to make up, not much just .0001 or so but it was hit or miss on which case got shorter. Now that I know, I barely touch the trigger and its done. Oh, and it was also one sharp edge on the end of that case. The Lee one seems to have a less aggressive cutting surface and the angle isn't as sharp so is less likely to do the same. A little more user friendly but yes, I still prefer my lyman due to the handle but I used the Lee version up until a couple of years ago when I prepped over 1K 300Blk cases so my fingers needed the Lyman tool, and the wooden ball on the Lee cutter, I also got the Lee chuck which is much better than the one that comes with the gauge. If I were to do that many cases again I think I'd splurge on the 3-way cutter for my Forster, but for now I am good with what I have.

I think the die takes care of that.

I only managed to cut the barrels and get some topsoil last weekend.  I will build the frames and hopefully get some plants started this upcoming weekend.  Just wondering about the tomatoes though, I used to give them some space, at least 1 or 2 feet between, but wouldn't they get crowded in a square foot garden?

If you don't need the die mounted powder dropper then it may not be as good a deal for you.    Inner and outer chamfer can be done with this: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690109/Chamfer-and-Deburring-Tool- But if you are doing hundreds of rounds per sitting you may be better suited with either a case prep station or a bench mounted trimmer with an inside outside chamfer and deburring cutter ,ounted on it.  I recently purchased two, one a Lyman with all the original pilots for $50 and another was a Forster.  The forster was last, it had the outside case neck turning tool with it and setup for .308 for just $35 so couldn't pass it up.   So these can be had for a decent amount if you keep your eyes open.   Depending on your budget, which I guess we should of inquired earlier, you can get much better tools but the Lee products do work and are a hell of a deal for the price.  I have used Lee to reload since the mid to late 80's and just recently started getting into other brands but used.

That scene makes you wonder though.  If bitten you turn, so wouldn't getting zombie brain in the mouth do the same thing?  The terminus guys were worried about eating contaminated meat, but it never locked down whether it would turn you or not.  I think the FX guys over do it a bit though, if I recall correctly there were some Zs that were practically skeletons walking around.  Just what animates them, surely they still need muscle to move around.

If you haven't purchased anything yet, I would recommend this: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690304/Classic_Turret_Press_Kit_ I would also do away with the single stage press and the press mounted trimmer.  For rifle you will not be reloading in the hundreds most times; The Lee hand trimmer works good and it has caliber specific case length gauges even the Creedmoor at Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/427646/lee-case-length-gage-and-shellholder-65-creedmoor?cm_vc=ProductFinding but Midsouth may be able to get it in as well if you call.  I would get the wooden ball for it though, it is worth it: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690275/Cutter-with-Ball-Grip- As was mentioned, get extra turrets for the press, that way once your dies are setup changing caliber is a 5 second affair.  

If you are reloading a pistol caliber I would mount it.  For rifle I like to weigh each drop so I use a bench mounted one to drop close to my charge then trickle the rest. 

No, I meant Deanna who had her husband the engineer on her lap. 

This same story was discussed on another site where one of the members said he would not get involved unless it directly involved him or family.  While I may of done the same thing as the former LEO, it is a personal choice whether to get involved or not.  In a situation where you do not know the exact nature of the situation it may be prudent to wait until you can make an informed decision.  In the case of the bike confrontation I would be inclined to put both of them on the ground and sort out the details once the knife was out of the equation.   As far as the NY story, I would have to of seen a stabbing or shooting in progress before I let anyone know I am armed...just sayin.  A quick shout to the chasing individual would of probably resulted in him identifying himself as LEO.

Seems you have all bases covered.  I don't use case gauges for most of my reloads, I just use what is referred to as the "plunk test" where you simply drop the case into a barrel and use that as a gauge.  I do have one gauge for my 300Blk, but that is because I am forming the cases as well and the gauge helps make sure all the measurements are taken care of.  Once they pass the first time I am good.  But many do have and use them as well as the comparator which I have as well.  The comparator will measure COAL from the ogive so a deformed lead tip don't throw off the measurements.  I also got the comparator due to the 300Blk since many times you are reloading from internet data and I like to be sure as possible when doing that.    As for setting your dies, yes you make small minor adjustments to your dies as you measure until you get the depth you want then lock your die in place until you change to different bullets.  A kinetic or collet puller will also be needed when you seat too deep, ask me how I know.  Before the comparator I used my calipers and made sure the tips were not too distorted on the one I used to set my dies.

Though it didn't show it he probably shot or shot at the wife beater since it did not show him pivot away.  And I am not sure how the Mrs. would handle it if he shot her husband on her lap. 

There are a few of us in the area, ask away.

I noticed that last night as well, the license plate and then the chain taking three in one swing.  I commented that it was too comic book like.  I also wonder about the strength of some of them, how can they generate so much strength  at one point and then be held up by a simple door or window.  While this is surely just Hollywood, it would be nice for some consistency or at least a semi-plausible explanation of the phenomena that is the zombie horde.  Maybe that is what the new series is supposed to do.   

A salute to our heroes.   http://swf.tubechop.com/tubechop.swf?vurl=8k9Si28k0Fk&start=0&end=438.55&cid=3753492   May we raise more like him!

Some ORs have a sealed off admin area which is not a sterile area and I am sure they will take protective measures if it's in the actual operation area.   Is the computer something they need for the procedure? 

You look into the .277 Wolverine? I contemplated it when it got announced but I was playing with the 300Blk so didn't want another AR to convert brass for. It was showing promise, somewhere between the 300Blk and the 6.8. Its definitely a wildcat round at this point so don't expect much off the shelf. http://www.maddogweapons.com/277-wolverine.html

I got a hybrid IWB holster with a leather lined kydex shell from a local guy who made it while I watched but will take mail orders too: http://mtoholster.com/.  I chose a brown color and so far it has not had any issues that you have concerns about, the leather is thicker than most other holsters I have.  The Alien Gear prices can't easily be beat though specially with the 2 holster deal, I think I'll try these guys out for my next two to compare: http://aliengearholsters.com/alien-gear-2-holster-combo.html/

Of that there was no doubt, but the other party is not here to receive his admonishment.  It seems most times we end up preaching to the choir, those who post situations like this are already far ahead of the ones who don't.  The thing is, at the end of the day it could of been two decent guys having a bad day.  I know many things run through my head when confronted by bad drivers, but in the long run its not worth it to become confrontational over an almost traffic accident. I know I have been the one in the wrong a couple of times, but always make it a point to wave as to say "Sorry", many times a little courtesy goes a long way.

First, its never a good idea to get out of your vehicle to confront anyone whether armed or not; won't end good.  If you feel you are being followed, make a few turns to verify if that is the case.  If verified, call 911and head to a police station and let the operator know your location and route.  Don't stop right behind anyone, leave room, If at a stop and the other driver gets out, drive off.  If confronted by an armed assailant,  let him come to you.  If armed yourself its best to respond from the car, if not you have at least a 1/2 ton weapon at your disposal. 

Yea, I have enough ammo and components to shoot well after a big ammo scare does away with or prices it beyond my reach.  I don't really need more than 1k per caliber, though in a couple I have more than that.  For a bugout situation I doubt I'll be dragging more than a caliber or two out the door so all my stock would go to waste.  I haven't gotten paranoid enough to create caches of ammo all over so what I have is it, and for all my purposes that will be enough.

No, we are both comfortable with the corners since they have been surveyed twice.  It would of been real easy to see if the line were to deviate very far in either direction (bowed) as was demonstrated once I put the fence up and could see the straight line which I confirmed with poles on the high spots and a laser and compass (azimuth/back azimuth).  The hard part was just getting a pole on the high spots since the corners are over/under the line of sight.  Once I put fence poles up and put survey tape on each it made a nice straight line, not survey quality but we are both comfortable with it.  We both agreed that if one or the other ever wanted to, we could get an actual survey done and the fence would move accordingly.    I understand the legal aspect, and would not of needed a legal document.  Just someone with an instrument to shoot from one corner to another corner that is not visible and mark the high spots.  With both of us present we would of readily been able to see how well the job was done and since we are both too cheap to do a survey, we would of been too cheap to hire a lawyer anyway :)
