For many reasons, I do not believe that selling junk is a good long term business model.

I've even put a couple in sideways. Now that takes some doing.

I've done it, but catch it before inserting powder and primer. If a company makes millions of something, there are bound to be a problem or three.

My wife only thought I have a lot of guns. I need to show her this report.

The LCR is ugly! The K frame Smith and Wesson doesn't suffer this malady.     Full power 357 loads in a K frame are a handful. I prefer a 27 or 28 for shooting, but a 19 sure carries a lot better.

My wife and I visited the Cragfont and the Wynnewood estates today, and it brought to mind a local legend I doubt many have heard of.          http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCsQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.awritesmart.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F10%2FBigfootSpencer.pdf&ei=79iEVLDENsOkgwS18YLoBQ&usg=AFQjCNGFDfDBj4INIv0gldoQBxzPIOgZrw&bvm=bv.80642063,d.eXY

You must have a lot of free time on your hands. :shake:

Well said. It's kind of like an extended family here. :up: :up:

We're here for you Dave!

If you want to go cheap, there's nothing wrong with Anderson lowers. They are made in Kentucky.   If you want top of the line, click on the cmttac.com  advertisement at the top of the forum page. They're made here in Tennessee, and are top shelf.

That sucks, and he'd have done well to have handled it better. However, you had a non working gun when you walked in, and a working gun when you left. You also received an education. It really isn't as bad as it seems.   I once buggered the knurling on an ejector rod; not knowing it was left hand threaded. My lesson cost me as did yours.

If you follow a jerk like that, trouble will surely not be far behind you. I'd never heard of him and wish I could still say the same.

Mine always seemed to get a sufficient cleaning when I cleaned the bore.

Don't ask me how I know. :shake:

I haven't, but do own a variety of rifles in 250-3000 as well as 257 Roberts. As they are both 3000 fps rounds with an 87 grain projectile, it sure sounds like a great idea to me!   If you find a 250-3000 or 257 Roberts that isn't accurate, somebody has likely screwed with it.   They are perfect for whitetails and coyotes.   The only downside I see is that here, I would fear a round of it would somehow find it's way into a 556 chamber.   I'll keep my deer rifles with levers or bolts.

My dog has brought home a couple of chickens in the past. I have no idea where they came from. I've fed my dogs chicken bones forever, and no ill effects so far.

I have the Lee scale, and Ohaus Beam scale, and one of the Frankford arsenal scales. All three are accurate enough for most reloading chores. I find myself using the Frankford Arsenal digital scale the most, because it's easy to set up and fast to use. Although cheaply made, the Lee scale is quite accurate and fairly easy to use. Sometimes I like to check one against the other just for my own piece of mind. That's where the balance beam scale comes in handy.   You can put the Frankford Arsenal scale in your shirt pocket and take it somewhere with you. It weighs in grains, grams, and ounces. You can use it for more than just reloading.

I wish I had the ability to convey my thoughts as well as he did.

I believe pulling the damned trigger is considerably faster....and easier! :shake: :shrug:

I had the Lee Anniversary kit. I finally wore out the press ofter only twenty years of much use. I replaced it with a Lee Classic Cast press. I'll not wear it out! The cast press is worth the extra few bucks over the aluminum one. I understand the cast presses are made from railroad track. I like it better than my father's RCBS Rockchucker. It too is a nice press.

Looks like it should work well. You know I'm a cheap bazdard though, right? :cool:

       http://www.midwayusa.com/product/476992/lee-case-trimmer-cutter-and-lock-stud   Here's what I use for trimming. You can do it by hand, or chuck the lock stud into a drill.   http://www.midwayusa.com/product/107333/lee-case-length-gage-and-shellholder-223-remington?cm_vc=ProductFinding Get a case length gauge and shellholder for the round you are trimming, http://www.midwayusa.com/product/789334/le-wilson-chamfer-and-deburring-tool-17-to-45-caliber?cm_vc=subv1789334 and finidh the job with a twist inside and out with a chamfer tool. These also work for removing the primer crimp from military brass.

RCBS makes good stuff.

"A royal flush beats a full house every time"   and   "Turd Herder"   are two of my favorites.

Nope. They are just inexpensive. I've used Lee products for over 20 years now. I actually prefer their dies to others regardless of price.
