hey, i have been soo broke the last 3 months, finally got another job a few weeks ago, only like 100 bucks a week but better than nothing. cant really afford much shooting right now, i have fired like 24 rounds of 45 ACP in the last 2 months!! im gonna gradually build up my stock of supplies...

i was watchin dirty harry and started to wander what the he!! id do if i got pulled over by someone impersonating a cop, and the impersonator just walks up and draws to fire on you? what could you even do in a situation like that? get shot?

i was thinking if only 2 rounds have been fired, along with the two from the factory. 4 shots should not make it that shiney.......750+ through mine have not gotten it that shiney yet...

man you got a serious wear mark on the pin that holds the barrel to the slide(whats this called?) did the barrel splitting bend the recoil spring like that?

well my issue was a same state deal, not outta state. so do i need to get a pistol purchase permit for a pistol even though i already purchased the pistol privately without knowing i needed the permit? this will be a pain.:(

shiny is easer to find on the ground than "camo brass" lol

i have a situation involving the stupid nc system also.... i bought a pistol private party, they didnt ask for a permit or anything,....... i had seen them buy it from the dealer a week earlier, they decided 45 was not there thing, i bought it practically NIB....... is there anything i...

does a vibratory tumbler count? i recently put a batch of 9mm LRN in for a half hour to help remove the sticky lee alox on the bullet nose.

well i got some nufinish and dryer sheets, but missed the part about "using" the dryer sheet so now my bullets smell good, everything works pretty nice, i take time to polish the cases since i cast my own bullets and while im casting i can also be polishing, by the time the cases are kinda shiny...

what is the shortest possible length to load the XTP to? going by three references/manuals im pretty sure it is .965, but i had them loaded to .975 just to be on the safe side(pressure) and they did not want to feed and we never went past firing round #1. my pressure is low im sure, im only...

omg they started selling us like slaves.....RUN! sorry cant resist lol i like the cast 200g SWC over 4.5g bullseye in my 45, though its a RIA. i cast my own from the LEE 2 cavity mold and load a hundred for about 9 bucks, know i had to pay 5 bucks a pack for my most recent primers.

do you really mean 7 FEET? i was thinking yards maybe.

so how about .380 vs 9mm mak in a nice east german makarov? whats .380's advantage to 9 mak?

i also ordered a 6 pack of RCBS powder polish, it is a package of 6 .6oz bags, its a very fine white powder but left my brass very dusty and not too shiney after an hour or so, any ideas on using it? if not ill take a ride in town for dryer sheets and nufinish tonight

cool it or this will be locked soon enough
