    OK, WTF??

    Re: OK, WTF?? I have found some Federal brass used by Border Patrol to have a mean crimp on it. Not sure if it was made by LC, but the case read Federal, it was crimped and i know who shot it. Beyond that???????

    OK, WTF??

    Re: OK, WTF?? Bummer man, i load a lot of once fired LC 556 brass and have not yet come in contact with one that did not have a primer crimp. But like some of the other guys said, it could depend on where he got it. Good luck in the future.

    Reloading newbie, need advice on equipment

    Re: Reloading newbie, need advice on equipment +1 on the reloading kit. I purchased a Lyman kit with a single stage press. The only reason i got it over the RCBS was the fact it came with a poder measure and the RCBS kit i looked at did not. $320 for the kit left me enough cash for a...

    Re: want to start reloading When i started handloading i picked up a Lyman single stage press kit. It came with a good amount of stuff and had a good price. Its worked well for me as far as rifle loading goes, a little slow for pistol but works good for my 308, 223, 270, 30-30. Hope this...

    Rifle Scopes m24 Scope?

    Re: m24 Scope? I agree, i found a Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14 for 750 w/ mildot reticle, great shape and all w/ rings. It is worth saving up a little longer for something you will most likely be happier with and hang onto longer. I used to have the issue with picking some thing up that was just...

    reloading press

    Re: reloading press I have a Lyman turret press and for pistol ammo it will work good for you, i can put out 100 an hour on mine and it has worked well for a couple years and thousands of rounds. If you are looking to load up some rifle ammo, i would shy away from the Lyman and look at the...

    Suppressors Whats a good starter handgun for the Girlfriend?

    Re: Whats a good starter handgun for the Girlfriend? I got my wife a Taurus 85 with a Crimson Laser Trace grip a few years back. The pistol has the exposed hammer for single or double action use. The recoil with the 38 special is minimal. She is usually done after a box of 50 but she does...

    Worst Reloading Mistakes

    Re: Worst Reloading Mistakes I also did the now powder thing with the bullet stuck in the barrel, not a hard fix with a rod but i was lucky to notice it before a incident occured. Did not realize LC 556 brass had a military crimp, let alone know what one was and couldnt figure out why i was...

    Powder types

    Re: Powder types I use the Lyman reloading manual myself,its what came with my reloading kit when i got started and it names many different powders you can use along with different bullet combos. I have found it really useful. As with using Varget for 223, that what I use and have found it...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile?

    Re: Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile? I shot out to 1k at Camp Robi and we were using the fixed 10x on the M24. For the ranges your talking about I would give the advice of at least a 15x and on up from there depending on how you see through it. Hope this helps.
