It's not Amazon's fault

  Maybe it's time to just forget about being honest with these assholes... ever. 

  It doesn't get any better than those folks. I have one of the mouse pads too, and a gazillion of their stickers.

  Confirmation that he was under the influence of some serious drugs.

  Did you get a call from them?

  Hole #4 always gets a factory crimp die at my house. I only shoot jacketed or plated

  I don't know. I have a friend loading rifle on the regular 4 hole. He's just loading 223. The classic is just a better press.

  I didn't read far enough. 

  Nope. That's a progressive, that doesn't auto index. Dillon presses are great, especially if you go up to the 650. 

  I've loaded a few thousand, and it hasn't broken yet. They send a spare of the little square part that wears out.

Note that you can defeat the auto indexing feature by removing the bar. The main advantage of the turret over single stage is that you're not taking the case off the press for every stage. I still load some stuff single stage if I'm going for real high quality. It's just a lot slower, and not necessary for most stuff.

One correction, Gordon. The turret press is auto indexing, so you don't have to turn the plate like you do with most turret presses.   [media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDfOO2j0zYI [/media]

  Yes! They have two different ones. That's the better one

I'm a huge fan of the Lee Classic 4 hole turret press. I load blackout, 223, and 45 ACP on it. There's a lot of stuff to get. Dolomite has a good list floating around.

  A .338 Lapua Magnum has more in common with a 50 BMG than it does with a 300 Winmag. It's in a whole nuther class. Lapua and cheap never show up in the same room. With that said, high accuracy 50 BMG ammo ain't cheap either. Surplus machine gun ammo doesn't qualify.

The main reason I hate Colt

Some folks just put them in a cloth bag and run them thru the washing machine. Great if you want your underwear to smell like CLP. 

If I was dead set on perforating somebody, I would find a way. Folks were doing it way before gun powder came along.

  I thought that was a civil case. And... a lot crankier caliber than a .45

  So... if we're counting on the stupidity of the public at large, how are they gonna know it was a hand load unless you tell them? Sure, it can be obvious... or not.

  Well, I hope you shot him back :). The .45 ACP has less energy than a .40 S&W at any range, and more than a 9mm. They're all gonna bleed of a lot of energy as soon as they hit anything, soft or hard. You're making the best point. A bullet's job is to drain the blood supply of the target. Smooth and round ain't the best geometry. They need teeth.

  I have a bunch of 230 grain XTP's loaded over 5.4g Bullseye. No special brass.

Criminals are gonna do what they want. The dumber the law, the more criminals you're gonna have. Possession of marijuana comes to mind.

  Actually, the one linked above is a combination trigger lock, not a cable lock. It looks pretty secure, unless you could maybe get under it with a paper clip or something to mash the trigger. Better off locking the whole gun up, even if you had to use one of those cheesy Stack-on cabinets

  The Liberator was legal if you put the metal piece in it. It was there specifically to make it detectable. Our politicians are fucking idiots.
