I know they have to warn you of every little thing for liability purposes, but there's definitely a greater risk. You'll have to decide how much risk you're willing to take, though. Holy Cow! $150 for a set of dies?

There is an inherent fault with trying to resize 9mm cases to begin with. If the brass is "in spec" the mouth is .380" and the base is .391". Most dies use a carbide ring to resize, so you simply cannot resize the entire length of a 9mm case. Any die that used a full length carbide insert that accounts for this taper will be quite expensive, if one even exists (I'm not sure). Nonetheless, straightening the side walls with the deprimer and then again with a Lee Factory Crimp die once the bullet is seated will take enough of the bulge out to use the brass. Just don't expect brass to last long if it's ONLY shot from a Glock. This constant overworking of the base of the brass will make it brittle.

I don't know what caliber you're loading, but I'm guessing it's a pistol round (9mm? 40S&W?). If you're picking up range brass, odds are you'll get a lot of brass shot from a Glock, which are notorious for leaving bulged cases. The case is not fully supported by the chamber, like you said. Glocks aren't the only ones, but due to their popularity, it's the most likely explanation. I've only seen the Lee Loader once and never actually seen it used. So, I don't know the specifics very well. Does the resizing die only go down the case part of the way? Once you get a press set up, you'll be able resize the full length of the case. That'll take that bulge out...MOSTLY. 9mm cases are tapered though and the bulge doesn't always completely go away.

I guess we're to assume they don't think most of their audience is smart enough to wonder about such or this is another bizarro zombie world were the plumbing still works with nobody to operate the water purification plants?

With all the ammo S&W gives him, ol' Jerry would have the zombie population thinned out pretty darn quick.

I feel ya on the drama-soaked pace of things. Aside from the obvious fact that Kia/Hyundai is a big sponsor, gas for a big 4X4 is scarce and a big vehicle can't get in/out of small spots or around some blockages. Still, getting stuck last episode should have taught them something.

Do the bay walls go all the way to the ground? Just curious. At the range I go to, you get your own bay too. It even has chicken wire between shooters. The concrete floor allows brass to roll a long way though. Sometimes I find mine 3 lanes to the right. Maybe I should adjust my stance so it falls where I want it, LOL.

Good point, but it's still fun to whine about it not happening. :) +1 about this being the most boringest episode ever.

I've seen videos of it. It's amazing. The wolf is running for its life and the eagle just swoops in and ends him.

q's about chinese mosin, what to do with it?
BigK replied to a topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I don't know, man. That pitting is pretty deep. Plus, 7.62x54R is a pretty powerful cartridge. I don't think I'd shoot one single bullet through it w/out putting it in a vise and pulling the trigger with a string from 50' away. Then again, I may just be a chicken $hi+. -
The biggest proof to me that the teacher has an agenda and is attempting to indoctrinate these young minds isn't the costumes she conveniently had ready for the lesson. It's the insistence that the kids not call terrorists...terrorists. This idea came about 50 years ago by communists who realized that to control the language is to control thought. The left and the media has been doing it ever since: Terrorst = Freedom Fighters Liberal = Progressive Illegal Aliens = Undocumented Workers Christianity = Hateful/Intolerant Tax Increase = Revenue Enhancement Sporting rifle = assualt weapon Pro Abortion = Pro Choice Pay attention how they try to change our language. This is more powerful than brute force. They see this kind of brain washing as winning the hearts and minds. So, every time you hear them change the language be wary of their intentions. Here's an excellent short video on the concept: [media="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6dsxNkQ-e8&sns=em"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6dsxNkQ-e8&sns=em[/media]

500 points if you hit one wearing a beret AND a tie-dyed shirt with a peace symbol (lousy hippie zombies...die, die, die)

BigK replied to a topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
My advice would be NOT to pay a gunsmith to look at it. I know this one has sentimental value, but they're $99.99 online. I'd just buy another one and change out parts, if I wanted to keep the original. -
Welcome aboard, man. Now we're talking! ...and when a zombie dies they disintegrate leaving an ammo cache behind. ooh, and you can bait them with copies of The Contributor and mow down whole herds of them at electric car dealerships.

Very nice! What kind of glass you thinking about? Barska? NCStar? I'm just kidding, of course. I've read nothing but good things. Congratulations.

Why you gotta be stompin on my dreams, huh? I'm reachin for the stars here. I ain't settlin for nothin less. You make a very good point there, Jared. 5-layer burritos don't jog, like turkey on wheat.

7.63x39 in stock at sgammo .30 cents per round
BigK replied to Mykltn's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
yep, 200 rounds of Golden Tiger for $59.99 I read some reviews, sounds like pretty good ammo -
I saw one that a friend bought last summer from SOG. They were only $159, IIRC, then. It looked a little rough, but no rust, trigger was decent, locked up tight, timing wasn't off. Didn't check the cylinder gap, but I'd say they're worth the money.

...BTW...they also have plenty of LPP at Outpost Armory, if anyone is looking. No SPP, though

wow, that IS livin high on the hog

a really good friend just texted me that SGAmmo.com has Golden Tiger 7.62X39 for $59.99 for 200 rounds. Shipping is $12. That is only $0.36/round, but there's a limit of one 200 rd "unit" per customer/day.

CZ Shadow Target no go for IDPA?
BigK replied to itchytriggerfinger's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
I know, I know...I tell myself this same thing every Friday, but when that alarm goes off at 5:30 on Saturday morning...it just doesn't happen. -
I would LOVE to have bought 12 boxes for the price I paid for 10, but I'm sooooo over trying to catch ammo in stock at Wally World. Love your signature line, BTW...somebody should have told Greg Rodriguez that.

You are the man, HOGNUT! I'm guessing this isn't the 1st time this has come up for you, huh? BTW...miss you guys.
