It's a little more involved than that. Normally that would work but the slide won't lift off the rails. The slide will lift right off. Something is binding and not allowing removal. Don't think it is the ejector or slide stop but I'm not sure. I was just thinking I'd like to know what it is...
The slide won't come off of my CZ 82. The mag is removed and I pull out the trigger guard for dis-assembly and the slide moves down the rails freely but hangs up at the end and won't come off the rails. I would really appreciate some help with this from someone who is familiar with the CZ 82...
There should be a spring and a single ball bearing that inserts into the base of the press below the turret. The spring presses the ball into an indent in the bottom of the turret and locks it in place. take the turret off and you should find the problem.
Excellent question! I've tried to get this right in my head and don't quite see it yet but this ought to do it. I just load MY .45 swc until there is only a thumbnail of the crimp grove above the neck and they shoot well. This will be good to know.
LEO's have a heck of a lot more training than CCL carriers in Texas. IMO 8 hours of instruction and a half hour at the range weren't sufficient to get the job done or it's minimal at best. I've handled firearms for over 50 years, shoot regularly and have friends that carry at all times. No...
I don't carry a piece on me. When I travel I have one in my truck which is legal in this state. I don't have the time or the inclination to practice my presentation of a firearm so that it would be effective 100% of the time. There is a reason that LEO's undergo extensive training and practice...
Depends upon the cartridge. I've been reloading for 3 years and I've quit counting the times I've loaded .45 brass and I get about 5 reloads of the .270 brass before they start showing signs of head separation. The Lapua is a high pressure round so you probably won't get just a bunch of reloads...
Have you picked up a loading manual yet? If not pick one up and read the sections on reloading. This will answer a lot of your questions. Even if you buy two Dillon progressives you will eventually pick up a single stage press. I use mine for de-capping and priming and load on the turret. Also...
I agree with Stretch about the Lee scale. I've gotten to where I actually like mine. I prefer it over a digital and it is amazingly accurate for an inexpensive scale. I will admit it is an acquired liking. I didn't think much of it at first.
The loaded round is stove-piping. I got the durn bullets too long. Ill do the way you guys have suggested with the front drive band about a fingernail width above the case mouth. I bet it works. Thanks
I'm loading a 190 gr lswc over 4.5 gr of Bullseye. The bullets are cast from a H&G mold. I'm not worrying about the OAL until I have the headspace set correctly. I set bullet well below the barrel shroud and was having trouble with some of the rounds stove-piping. The bullet is stove-piping and...
I started out with the Lee Anniversary Kit. Which was a good move. Your pretty much set up to load, other than dies. I hated the Lee de-burring tool so soon replaced it with the larger RCBS tool and picked up a Wilson case trimmer. The Lee press is fine but after a year or so I wanted a better...
Thanks for the responses. I found these bullets in some casting equipment that I had traded for awhile back and was curious as to how these heaver bullets would do in my Marlin. I still can't figure out why they would list an OAL of 2.800" for the 30-30, but Lee does. 2.550" and using a reduced...
