FWIW, ive been using standard RCBS dies for 30-06 for years without any sort of problems. Ive also been using Lee and Lyman for a long time and have had no problems with these, either.

Ghostwalker, you are correct about me not being a LEO or attorney. However, one does not have to be either to know what your rights are. And BTW, the "curious social phenomena" in PA I believe you are describing are law abiding citizens excercising thier rights.

Seems like you got everything taken care of to the best of your ability. I cant think of anything you have overlooked (other than installing surveliance equipment, which if your like me, would be cost prohibitive). Good luck and be careful!:)

To me, sounds like either a very paranoid neighbor or a very stupid burglar to be. Either way, you did the right thing by alerting law enforcement. Like someone said, keep a camera handy and document any further contact with this individual and notify police of any further developments...

NO!!! The .357 Sig is actually a 9mm.

As far as factory knives go, I would have to say Buck. The 110 is the grandfather of todays high speed/low drag tactical folders, and lots of everyday folks carry/have carried them in a sheath everyday. For custom, everyone's heard of Randall but most have never actually held one or seen one in...

FWIW, I think it's great that the double action wheelgun is still seeing at least SOME action!:)

I think most (if not all) single stage presses are extremely overbuilt, and it would be almost impossible to wear one out in several lifetimes. Just make sure the ram dosent rust and the pivot points are lubed and you should be good to go for at least 100 years! I know of several ancient Lyman &...

There was an article in Backwoodsman magazine a couple years ago (IIRC) that was very similar to what the OP is describing. It even had drawings and instructions on how to make your own "reloading station".

Im gonna have to check out Lyman's latest manual. I got Lyman's 4th edition shotshell manual (published in 1998) and theres no .410 buckshot data.

Brass knuckles are dirty pool here in Pennsylvania. They are considered "prohibited offensive weapons", along with automatic knives and blackjacks/lead filled saps. I believe you can legally own these objects here, but not carry them on your person, except a LEO can carry an auto knife.

Does anyone know where I can find .410 buckshot load data? Thanks for your replies.

Ive used 10.0 gr Blue Dot with 158 gr cast SWC's and standard small pistol primers for years. Absolutely no problems. Very accurate and consistent. However, ive heard extremely bad things about this powder lately. Im gonna consider myself lucky and quit using it.

Thanks for all the answers. Tim, you're correct about finding out what shoots well in my particular rifle. As far as powder goes, I probally have most of the usual suspects ( RL 15, Varget, W748, 4895, BLC-2, etc, etc, etc) on hand as well as various types of small rifle primers. As far as...

Id like to use my AR-15 (5.56, 20" heavy barrel, 1/9" twist) for CMP. Does anyone have any good handloads to share? All targets will be @ 100 yards. Thanks.
