Most of the problems come from progressive presses. This assumes everything is set up properly in the first place. I've had normal dies that work just fine on a single stage, but if used on my Dillon the brass is a bit tight in some guns. It's from the inability to cam over like you can with a single stage. I use the Dillon when I am processing brass for my ar10 or ar15. The trim die is essentially a small base die. Everyone will drop freely from a case gauge after loaded. I can't have a problem 12 hours from the house. I've seen what happens when ammo on the large end of the spec meets a chamber on the small end of the spec. Thankfully I always take twice as much ammo as I think I'll need and have had to donate some to the cause. @Handsome RobI usually do 1k 5.56 or 308 at a time and you can definitely feel the difference in some chambers from the change in force needed to size them.

If you get a small base die, you'll never have that problem again. Some chambers need it and some don't.

If you're using handloads and the brass has been used in a different chamber, you may need small base dies.

Out of spec chamber or out of spec ammo.

If a TN cop see you with one, they are not supposed to enforce the federal law or report you to the atf. If the atf catches you, TN will not assist I any way. This is how these laws typically work.

It needs to be 4 door. There are 7 of us, but we are never all in the same vehicle at the same time. The new truck/suv will need to seat 5. It will primarily be my vehicle. I'll need room for guns and gear for the Texas trips I take 5-6 times a year. I don't know if you've ever looked at a NV3500, but everything is smaller compared to it. It's a good van though. She's tired of parking that boat every time she needs to just run to town while I'm with the kids.

I have a company vehicle that I put most of my miles on. I drive a 2001 Ford f150 and a 52 Studebaker as my personal vehicle. My Wife drive a NV3500. We don't need to carry the wheelchair as much as we have in the past. She needs something smaller she can run around from time to time and I need to replace an aging truck. I really need to let this chip shortage end.

I may have to hold off for 6 more months. People with Jeep rubicons are crazy. Toyota TRDs are outdated. Even 40k used vehicles are junk. Not one single dealer knew about black out kits or if they could download one into a truck. One was a 2018 rubicon for 44k that had 13 major paint issues and a tapping lifter.

They haven't. 2 of 4 guys quit. 1 guy transferred to Chicago.

Im talking about a couple of hours, once or twice a week and still had Friday,Saturday, and Sunday off.

I watched a guy quit a 125k a year job with 4 10s because he had to work overtime some. He was in his early 20s and less than 2 months in.

Interviews today through Thursday, so hopefully we get 5 more good guys. This will help some, but not my position. They did give me the ability to do most of my work from anywhere in the world internet is available. I'm not sure that's a good thing. LOL. We do have a guy that i work with that moved to New Zealand. I have found myself interacting with my family through the security cameras at the house a bit more.

I managed to work 175 hours in overtime in March. I'll get about 70 in April because I took a week of vacation. I've watched 21-25 year old kids quit after a month in other departments because they "worked so much". The guys were making really good money. I just don't get it.

He could have had people with him. Loading 40 guns in the back of a truck/van in 2 or 3 minutes wouldn’t be hard. He wouldn’t be treating them like prized possessions. Grab a handful and chunk them in. Repeat that a few times and done. The place is relatively protected from eyes. One guy could do it in 5 minutes. 5 minutes is a lifetime in a robbery and the guy wouldn’t have been able to hesitate. Who knows his true motivation. I hope they catch everyone involved. I also hope they resist. Just saying it could have been one guy.

The act itself wouldn't be that hard. Especially if they were unsuspecting victims. Throw in a bit of meth and you have a disastrous robbery. He would have lost his ability to unload the guns locally and I doubt he has connections to Mexico. He was done the moment he pulled the trigger.

Dealers are: A: putting a high price on reloading supplies. B: holding reloading supplies in the back and limiting how much you can take. It sucks, but it is what it is. Pay $200 per lb/per 1k primers on gunbroker or pay 60% in house. I'm lucky enough to have what I need and most of what I want. At the moment, I want one more lb of Varget. I have enough to load 470 rounds now. I want to load 500 or my head will explode.

Yes

Kings in Columbia has Retumbo. It's $56, but if you have to have it..

No, they "reinterpret" them. Yes. Until they get their pee-pee smacked in court, they'll continue to do this.

I hope there are 4.5 million in circulation.

My go to ar 15 is an 18". It's relatively easy to keep rounds on a human silhouette at 750-850. After that things get bad. I hold a 10" group at 750 with that gun if I want to be honest. At 1000, it twice that. If it's just a range toy without a suppressor, I'd do a 24. A 20" will get it done if you math the s÷$t out of the bullet. An 18" will if you get lucky. My 18" is really only for killing, so take it for what it is, but I did quite a bit of long range testing before it was relegated to this role. Fast twist, heavy for caliber, and big BC numbers are what you're after.

If you're in state you'll just need the form 1 or 4 on your phone.

When I travel with a sbr, I'll fill out an ATF Form 5320.20. It's good for up to a year and I usually stay in the same motel. They are accustomed to us walking through the lobby with machineguns, ARs, and 50/75 lbs of ammo each. It takes about a month to get back and is pretty much a rubber stamp. I have yet to hear of anyone that has ever gotten into trouble for not doing this though. The second thing is to have copies of your form 4 or 1. A pic on your phone is good. I have never been asked for them. Not once in 25 years. You are only required to produce them for an atf officer, but I wouldn't refuse a police officer. They can hold you until the atf shows up. " In a few days". If you forget them, they can look them up pretty fast. I've had several encounters with different agencies over the years and I've never so much as had to produce a driver's license. Every cop I've ever dealt with has been great. I have yet to get one to put me in handcuffs so my buddy can get a pic. They're a bit weird about that.
