  1. Great cause. Glad it was successful.
  2. That should be enough in most cases. I use that same Lee Loader, but with small base dies. I did have a recent failure to extract with my new M1A, but I was using a light load. Next time out I will keep track of it.
  3. Full length as opposed to small base dies? While not much difference, that might possibly be it. It is not much case at the bottom, but if it swelled, that might cause it. Just a thought. Check your case diameter at just above the base with a micrometer and compare it to a factory round just to be sure.
  4. Welcome from Northern Wisconsin and thank you for your service. Playing Rugby I know you are a regular blood donor. Marine Rugby team? Don't want to think about what your opponents look like after a scrum. Look forward to the 243 range report when it all comes together.
  5. Welcome. You might want to go over to "Introductions" and tell us a little about yourself. Glad you are enjoying your rifle. Doesn't matter what brand it is as long as you like it.
  6. Be careful, the military is reportedly looking for a larger cartridge so you never know where this may lead. Seriously, a great project. I always wondered why more research into the advantages of 7.62x39 and into fixing it's disadvantages hasn't been done in the U.S.. Keep us informed!

  8. As you have already contacted Armalite, you went to the right place. They should give you the complete breakdown, including date of manufacture. If they don't follow up with a phone call.
  9. Will decided on "SLIPPERY WHEN WET".
  10. Could not happen to a more deserving scum bag. Plus his show sucked. Fake drama, and outright bull poop. Enjoy being "new material" in the Louisiana State Penitentiary!
  11. A lot of good advice. I do use small base dies as I am shooting in three different 308's of two different designs and just want to ensure standardized reliable feeding. Both RCBS and Lee dies are good. The Lee crimping dies are awesome!
  12. They might choose someone like CDNN to sell off their firearms. If that happens you might see some good deals. Thats how I got $800 off my AR10T.
  13. You generally get what you pay for. If you can find any left over ZQ1 from Turkey, not real accurate but the brass is good for reloading.
  14. Goats, sheep, flightless waterfowl. They all can breathe easier. In his case, the answer to Mae West's famous question; "It was a pistol". ("Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?") "Officer, it was a 3 inch barrel. The pistol? oh that was 5".

    Up here we look for last years prescribed burns. Always a bunch of morels coming up the next year. Really like Santa Maria tri tip. Don't find that cut much in the midwest, more a California type thing.

    Welcome from Wisconsin. Don't worry too much about the grammer. Both my grammer and gramdaughter like to shoot as well. Got a loaded M1A also. There is a service rifle sub thread on this forum if you want to talk about it. Good luck with your PSA build. Sounds like the new ones are a lot better than the first generation.
  17. All sized and cleaned. Now to trim and ream out the primer pockets. 220 rounds 308.
  18. When do we hear about the Kimber? Shot mine yesterday for the first time. Like it.
  19. Just hit the range yesterday. Fortunately empty except for my son and I. The way I like it. He knows gun safety.
  20. Seriously, cool to get your kids involved.
  21. Damn fine shooting in those conditions. I have been thinking of getting one of those Bullseye camera systems to use.
  22. Great Idea! What JT didn't say is he had a favorite pink shirt he wore when reloading as well.
  23. I remember when you talked about that happening. It doesn't bring her back, but I am glad they might have found the lowlife who did it.
  24. Well put.
