I was just able to access GB with no problem.

The problem is not with GB. It's most likely your computer or a DNS entry somewhere.

Not anymore, but during the first year I loaded I had at least 6 squibs; all no powder, thankfully, since the bullet didn't go far enough to allow the next round to chamber. I was shooting USPSA or IDPA when this happened and even the RO couldn't tell the difference. I'm sure if I was just...

That's true, but I had a lockout die that didn't always lockout. It seemed to work at first and then I had some squibs. Certainly part of the problem was my process. Another part was that I was trying out Titegroup, 3.2 gr for 9mm. Titegroup is denser than many powders, so it doesn't take up...

I use the most reliable device ever made for detecting a double charge or empty case: my eyes. I tried a lockout die and had several squibs, my fault due to inexperience. Somewhat the fault of the die because it wasn't 100% reliable. Looking in every case forces me to pay attention. So does...

it's much faster and certainly much easier on the hands and fingers if you have any arthritis. With the hunt and peck method, I could only fill two, maybe three at most, tubes at a time. Using the Vibra Prime I can fill 12 tubes in 15-20 minutes which includes opening the box of primers and...

Paddy, enough people have had them work that there is probably something misaligned with yours. My vibration is just fine and doesn't seem to change, although it makes sense that the fewer primers, therefore less weight, would change the sound a little, it shouldn't render it ineffective. Have...

I love mine and have used it for about two years. Be aware that this is version 2; it was off the market for a couple of years. I've only made two mods. I taped shut the large primer hole so that the small primers don't escape while shaking the tray. BTW, I discovered that the quickest way to...

I can't answer about LEO issues, but the make, model and s/n are listed on your pistol permit. Depending on the county, a pistol can be listed on someone else's permit. My wife and I list each other's pistols on our permits. I don't believe that there is a statewide database of that info. I know...

I own three Springfield 9mm's: XD, XDm, and an XDs. I use the same round in each, a Precision Delta FMJ-TC 147gr. The OAL is 1.135. The plunk test shows I can go as long as 1.15, so how can your 115 gr HP be too long at 1.05? What am I not understanding? I suppose a truncated cone might be...

Part of what affects comfort while seated in a car is how the seat fits you. Bucket or bench seat. Are you large or small? I'm small and carry IWB using a Comp-tac Minatour holster. I'm more comfortable in my bucket seat than I am in my wife's Suburban with bench seats. You need to try...

I will always try to retreat or otherwise avoid killing someone unless given no choice. NY does not have a SYG law, but even in a state that does have it I would try to avoid shooting. The best strategy is to avoid those situations by not going where an attack might happen and being alert...

Does anyone know where the phrase "Stand Your Ground" originated? I don't believe any actual law uses those words and if they do, they put it into context. My guess is that it was used by anti's to demonize the laws that state that there is "No Duty to Retreat." We hear "SYG" over and over...

Stand your ground does not mean you can chase. It's really a misnomer in that it really means 'No Duty to Retreat.' It relieves the defender from having to prove that he couldn't retreat. You should always want to avoid shooting when you can retreat safely. If you shoot someone in self-defense...

It's likely that you are more accurate WHO compared to two handed because you take your time. You admit to not shooting two handed very often, so you are less practiced that way. If you shoot in USPSA or IDPA I guarantee that two handed would be more accurate because you're are shooting quickly...

My club did the same thing and since you are from upstate, I have to wonder if it's the same club. Is it in Monroe County? The reason given is the club does not want it appearing on social media. They don't want to take a chance of something negative that can be used against it. I think it's...

Sometimes the anvil sticks to the pin and gets partially pulled back into the pocket. On a progressive (at least, Hornady LnL) the primer sticks out enough to hang the shell plate on the primer ejection hole. At that point you have to stick something in the flash hole to dislodge the primer...

I've heard it said that if you get all zeroes you are going too slow. Of course the best shooters (at the national level) go as fast as they can and get almost all zeroes.

Isn't it more than a miss? Don't you get a Failure to Neutralize penalty? What I've done and seen many people do is to shoot faster or at least at the same speed and keep missing. If you miss steel with a second shot, slow down!

I'd like to see someone move the press handle fast enough to strike the primer hard enough. The handle is maybe 18" long. The movement of the ram is maybe 6". With a lever arm ratio of 3:1 you get three times the force at 1/3 the speed. I've tried to make it go off. It doesn't. This is on a...
