    Neck sized ammo using different rifle

    If the 30 rounds that chamber were loaded using published data, then I would be comfortable shooting them in the new rifle. Regarding disassembling the the rounds that don't fit - there is nothign dangerous about depriming with a full length sizer if you go slow. I've deprimed many rounds...

    what knife do you carry?

    At work I carry an A.G. Russell 'Funny Folder'. The rest of the time I carry a Kershaw Breakout Auto.

    Great gun. For the 10 round magazines you want Marlin part#: 707135

    .22 K-Hornet?

    I have a Bullberry 12" K-Hornet barrel for my Contender. I love it. I think that there is more potential for accuracy because it's easier to get positive headspacing on the K-Hornet's pronounced shoulder. As far as case life goes, they might last somewhat longer with the K-Hornet, but I still...

    So How Do YOU Clean Your Scope Lenses?

    I generally use a LensPen, but if it is really dirty I use cotton swabs dipped in isopropyl alcohol. I start in the center and make increasingly larger circles out towards the edges. I also change the swabs often so that I don't grind dirt into the lens.

    Groundhog/Woodchuck - THICK SKULL!

    My experience has been pretty much the opposite of yours. I once shot a woodchuck with a shotgun loaded with #6 shot - he dropped and never twitched after the shot. When I examined him I realized that I had only hit him with one pellet - right in the forehead (not my best shooting, I know!)...

    Appleseed report

    I attended my first Appleseed this past April and I was also very impressed. It has really changed my view of what accurate shooting is supposed to be and has made me a much better shot. I used to be content with 'minute of paper plate' accuracy - now I'm trying for those one inch squares...

    What's your next semi-auto handgun purchase?

    I'm thinking a Colt Defender.

    IWB holster

    I've got to say that the first few days with the MTAC and the XD Compact were pretty uncomfortable. However, I hung in there, spent some time adjusting the holster and figuring out where to wear it, and it all worked out great. Now I don't mind it at all. For me I like to wear it right at 3...

    IWB holster

    Yes, I think that they are the best choice for concealed carry. I carry my Springfield XD Compact in an MTAC Inside-The-Waistband holster. Once I got used to is I found it to be very comfortable and secure. A good gunbelt goes a long way to helping with the comfort. I also have a Kholster...

    Choose 1 Brand exclusively

    CZ. Even though I don't own any CZ guns at the moment, they offer a decent choice in each category that I would need. Edit: I just went to their website and saw that while they now have the Dan Wesson name under their corporate ownership, they don't do revolvers - that would be a strike...

    Best Bolt Action Hunting Rifle on the Market for the Money

    I have a Remington 700 in BDL (30-06) and I love it. It's accurate, has a very good trigger, and I've used it on moose and deer. It is ugly - with the black plastic stock and enamel-type finish, however, I didn't buy it for its looks. However, if I were looking today I'd really consider a...

    White powder

    That is the buffer - tiny plastic beads that cushion the pellets from each other as they travel down the barrel. They are fine to shoot - stop thinking about it.

    Trapping pigeons?

    I used to put my trap on the flat roof of a business that my in-laws had access to. I baited it with corn. The hardest part was keeping it away from animal rights activists who took it upon themselves to let the pigeons go from the trap. (The roof was accessible to several businesses).

    Compact .45 Auto - What do you carry and why?

    I carry a Springfield XD Compact in an MTAC holster. It's bulkier than I'd like for CCW, but at the same time I don't think that it is a compromise from a tactical perspective. I used to carry a Kel-Tec P3AT a lot, but that was definitely a compromise! I'm intrigued by the Colt Defender...

    Trouble with IWB design.

    I really like the hybrid IWB holsters. I have an MTAC for my XD compact and a Kholster for my 1911 - I think that these style holsters coupled with a good gun belt are about as comfortable as you're going to get for IWB.

    Herters Presses

    I've got an old Herter's two position press that I still use a lot - it's built like a tank. I had to buy adapters to use standard shellholders with it. If they work well and are in good condition you should use them. RCBS makes a shellholder adapter that you can buy from Midway.

    gunk on tumbled cases

    Here's a quick update: To clean the gunk off of the cases I put some white vinegar in a pan with the brass and then used a toothbrush to scrub them. The gunk came off quickly. I then throroughly rinsed the brass in warm water. I checked, and the media that I was using was from a box of...

    gunk on tumbled cases

    Thanks for the replies. I'll change out my media and I'll go easy on the polish in the future (if I use it at all).
