give it back to her and teach her how to shoot it/defend herself!

Why?

Guns For America‎ is 5 miles from downtown and is a great little gun store with great prices. Plus Tom, the owner, is top notch.

Sam Coleman FTW! I encourage everyone to send him an email and show him your support. sam.coleman@nashville.gov

if that's your worst accident with a firearm, you are sitting pretty. bet you'll keep that finger out of the trigger gaurd from now on, right?

.45 ACP JHP, 6.2 gr of Accurate No.2 powder, WLP primer, 1.210" OAL, shot in Taurus PT-145, 3.25" barrel.

bang bang bang! the 6.3gr loads did much better. ran through a bunch of rounds today at owl hollow with nary a problem. tore out the center of the target pretty good too! great meeting some of you guys out there today: Bill, Bill, Charles, and Duncan. perfect day for shootin.

custom gun.. barrel is not installed, but its supposed to be a 26.5" 12-twist stainless Kreiger fluted heavy-Palma contour barrel in .308. read more about it here: DC Techs CNC Machining One Cool Rifle

I'm using Accurate No.2 powder and Rem 2-1/2 Large Pistol Primers.

Ive got Fed 200 small magnum pistol primers... if you had some Large pistol primers I would trade you straight up for the small pistol ones.

all too well my friend. that loss helped precipitate the demise of lloyd carr.

what grain bullet are you using? check this out: Alliant Powder - Reloader's Guide

so what kind of repercussions is this guy facing?

yea.. the pistol dies are full length resizers so lube is necessary.

what powder are you using? I would consult the powder mfr website or email the chief ballistician for the exact specs you need.

i enjoyed seeing all the cylinders firing. but still 1AA opponents should not give us too much cause for celebration. Bruins will give us all we can handle.

that is a common problem with cheap sunglasses.

get a simple cleaning kit from a gun store or wally world. Hoppes no.9 and some cotton cleaning cloths. follow the instructions on the kit. pretty simple. most mfrs suggest cleaning after each shooting.

hey there, Hoss. you dont happen to look like this fella, do you?

nice one. It pretty much came to that for me.. .45acp is scarce as hen's teeth.. so now I'm just making my own. but thanks for the generous offer!

what charge would that be?

do you powder charge rounds like I do in the video, or do you put the powder through the die? I found that quite a lot of powder gets stuck to the lube in the die if I do it that way.. so I leave the die out. Just curious.

Ohshoot.. I think you're right. I see your point tho Mike.. deprime 50, then size 50, then charge and seat 50, etc.. right? That might be faster.
