When I find myself in a quandry such as this, I like to err on the side of caution and get both.

Yup. That's what the trigger is for. 

I don't know about the "State of The Union", but I believe the "State of Joe Biden" last night was DRUNK! Did you see him with that stoned smirk on his face the entire time? He would occasionally burst out in laughter while sitting there, for no apparent reason. This guy is one heartbeat away from the Presidency? Unreal.

Obama wants a vote? Let's put the repeal of the second amendment to a vote. Any other vote would be unconstitutional.

All you need to do is to remove the bell you put on the mouth of the case before loading the round. Most semi autos headspace on the case mouth, so you don't want a heavy crimp. I adjust my bullet seater die to do this.

Is there really a reason to crimp them if I have sufficient neck tension? I've loaded scads of 223/556 that I've resized, without crimping, and have had good results.   The powder charge is a compressed load, so setback would be hard to do. I can't move the bullets forward with finger pressure.

How bout in Tennessee we keep our guns.....just in case she's wrong?

You could go with something like this:http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/52677-model-70-winchester-ranger-30-06/?hl=%2Bwinchester+%2Branger, and have a LOT of money left for optics, ammo, etc. :cool:

Winchester large pistol primer are marked "standard and magnum". I would be surprised if there is much difference in other brands.

Should come from the shooters' pockets; not the taxpayers.

That is quite the treasure right now. If only you can find the elusive ammo it takes, you'll be in business! :cool:

Make no mistake; it has a LOT of cash value.

You are a much better man than I am, but hey, it's the internet; we can be anyone we want to be, huh? I would be very concerned had I screwed this guy and know right now that I'm on his hit list.   Why heck, Dave! There's a million dollars in it; go out there and get him. :up:

That is what I thought, but I decided it would be good to ask before loading a bunch of them. The necks, so far, seem to have plenty of tension, and a loaded round works through the action of my rifle just fine. Thanks much for the quick response.

I really don't know much about them, but I have seen them both ways. That web puts me in mind of a, 1858 with a conversion cylinder installed.                                       Unless it has been rechambered, I know of three original chamberings: 44-40, 45 Colt, and 44 Remington. Could be the Remington. I do not know the dimensions of that cartridge. I don't think I've ever seen one.

I've never purchased any primed brass before, so I have a stupid question. Am I to assume this brass is correctly sized and ready to load, or should I take the decapper pin from my sizing die and size them first? I bought it from David if it matters. I didn't think to ask him at the time.

I'm interested in what you find out. That appears to be a nice presentation box it is in as well.

44-40?

It is an old, single action Remington Model 1875 revolver with the bore badly rusted. I expect it is still quite valuable. Thanks for sharing. I really like it.                                     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Model_1875   It appears to me to have the shorter and less common 5 3/4" barrel.

What legal basis does the Governer have to threaten the citizens of that state with a year in jail for operating a motor vehicle?   I do see his point, however. They were dumb enough to elect him; you couldn't expect much from their driving abilities.

Good luck finding 10.6mm Ordinance ammo! It would be cool to shoot if ammo were available.

I'd shoot some more groups with each load. Multiple groups with exact loadings will produce different results. I'd keep a special eye on the minimum load, as it looks very promising. As others have said, trying different seating lengths can produce some interesting results.   By the way, those groups are nothing to sneeze at! Good shooting. You should be proud.

NO!   I don't have to see a pierced primer to know one's coming.

.50 per round is rape for anything short of match grade ammunition in 223/556.

You've stated my feelings for LEOs much more succintly than I ever could have! :up:
