Upon further looking, I found that most powder manufacturers warn agains this practice.

You're the same guy who had the crane screw work loose on his 44 Mag, right? I believe I'd give the other empty cases a good look for other signs of excessive pressure.

+1 in tighten it back up and resume shooting. If vibrations cause a Harley Davidson motorcycle to work loose, just imagine what they do to a 44 Mag. I shot my Super Blackhawk some this evening, and I belive it jarred something loose in me!!!

4) Try some different ammo. Any will work.

Might be ammo that's loaded too hot. It does happen. I once had a box of Remington factory 308 ammo that you'd have to beat the bolt open with seomething after firing a round of it.

:bowrofl:

The OP reminds me of the gym coach on "Scary Movie". I love the scene when her balls fall out of her skirt. I'm not fond of manly women.

Sounds like you picked a winner.

If you'll cycle three or four hoppers full of powder through your powder measure before you actually use it the first time, it will eliminate your static cling problem. I think it gives that suggestion in the instructions. It works.

That's what I use. I reload, but I don't like reloading for autoloader; nor do I enjoy searching for spent brass from autoloaders.

strickj, Woh's the babe in the santa hat in your avatar. She looks evil, yet a little hot.

Shouldn't be any different than walking around with ammo in your pocket.

I use IMR 3031 powder and various 100 grain bullets with good results. Between my sons and myself, we have 3 rifles chambered for 257 Roberts, and none of them seen to be very finiky. I will suggest that when you find some brass for it, buy a lifetime supply, because it isn't just anywhere.

I wouldn't want exposed lead in there, but wouldn't think anything else would hurt.

Looks pretty good; especially for a first attempt. An ajustable groover and a stitch marking wheel would help make the stiching more professional.

If they fit as good as they look, I imagine he can sell all those grips he wants to make.

Monteagle Mountain is closed due to a rock slide!!! I didn't see that one coming.

What is the difference?

Because more than a few I know would prefer to shoot someone than to draw their next check. They need very little provocation to do so.

Seriously, I'd think you'd be best off to stand there, dead still with the gun pointed at the ground, don't make any sudden movements that could be considered threatening, and follow instructions.

Classy, indeed! Did you just get one, or an entire set?

My neighbors' response to me in the driveway with a gun is "Good morning, Greg", or "What kind of gun is that one?" The entire neighborhood's response to a police in the drive would be "WTF is a police doing here?"

I suggest you spend about as much on ammo as you did the LCP, and shoot it, shoot it, and shoot it some more.This will help you to build familiarity with it and confidence in it. I really like my LCP, and I'm not a fan of plastic guns in general. I can shoot it pretty good, and it sure is easy to conceal and carry.

Congratulations. Did you shoot it in the rectum with a load of stove wood, or just have trouble with the field dressing?

WHere is Dand T Arms? I wouldn't mind fondling one. They look great.
