Here's some pictures. The sheath is leather over wood and it does say "India" on it. The handle is wood. It's been hanging on my reloading room wall for 30 years because I think it's cool ;) . All my friends that see it take it down and look at it. I've never oiled it, sharpened it, nothing...

So I picked up one at a garage sale 30 years ago and still have it. Looks old, even when I bought it 30 years ago ;) . It's pretty much been hanging on the wall of my reloading room because I think it's cool. It's in a sheath. How do I know if it's the real deal or a fake sold to tourists? Fake...

I wear both, my plugs are custom made and I wear noise suppressing muffs. I'm almost 60 years old, Been around airplanes my entire life. Between the airplanes (Air Force, large transport, piston and jet), motorcycles and being an avid shooter and reloader I've lost a lot of hearing. I've always...

RMR is my go to for projectiles.

Thanks all! Especially longdayjake at RMR. Just ordered some 9MM and .224 for a better price than I can get local.

My EDC concealed carry is a standard bone stock Shield 9MM. In over 5000 rounds I can count the FTF and FTE on one hand. So far it's been the Toyota of my gun fleet :D I'd like to add an Apex trigger but I built an AR and bought a used M&P 9C instead :rolleyes: so I'll do them both at the same...

115 gr FMJ and a 4.3 gr load of Win231. I just loaded and shot this very load in my Compact 9MM Shield. Very soft shooting...even my Wife thought they were fine and she's tiny and hates recoil.

Thanks DaBoone, that was a good read. When I need to hold a set spec. a drop of nail polish on the thread will do that and I'll be able to pop that loose.

I should have added; It looks to me as if Lee added an anti-corrosion plating AFTER it was machined. That .00001 of an inch is enough to make it tight. I removed the plating with the tap and die and it runs down easy. I'll chuck the shell holder up in my electric screwdriver and go to town.

Anybody else have trouble threading the case length gauge into cutter? I did, so I cleaned up the case length gauge and holder with a 10-24 NC tap and die. Smooth as butta now. I did a search and it seems like it's a common problem, thought I'd give a shout out.

Thanks for all the replies. Went with the Win-231 for pistol and all they had for powder suggested was Win-748. All I wanted to start with was a pound of each and that was all they had so that's what I got. Thomas15...I absolutely agree with you 100% about getting one caliber figured out on...

I swear I searched here :confused: What's a good powder for a rookie with a lee turret press and the pro disk powder measure? The brown truck dropped off my 9MM dies and .223 dies today. I'm loading 55GR FMJ BT. I'm looking for a powder that will work with the auto disk and not cause the rook...

"Making sure I could make the head shot at 25 yards [ yes,no one was shooting back ! ] under perfect circumstances." Forget head shots...when the adrenaline is pumping do you really think you can make a head shot? You aim for center mass and shoot until one of two things happen; either you run...

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into the plated bullets. I went to shooting FMJ's exclusively about 10 or so years ago when I bought the Glock 23. I wanted a .40 cal and I wanted dependability as this was going to be my EDC so I bought the Glock 23, great gun BTW. Sold the wheel guns (should of...

That's pretty cool! let me get it figured out the right way first and then I'll upgrade.

Shield 9mm in an Alien Cloak 3.0 is my EDC. Like an American Express card, don't leave home without it.

New here, I recently retired, kinda young(55) and started shooting a lot more so I decided to get back into reloading. Up until now I've been buying ammo in bulk. I don't have a large collection, a couple of 9MM pistols; Shield 9MM which is my daily carry, I really love it, I had a gunsmith...

Here's another vote for the finger cots. I know the local Walgreens sells them, I have some floating around somewhere in the cabinet. Sliced my thumb open and bought some to keep it clean when I was working on a car and needed the dexterity I couldn't get using gloves. they were pretty cheap.

Hi all! I'm in Buckeye AZ, a small town on the outskirts of Phoenix AZ. I'm pretty newly retired and decided to get back into reloading, that's how I found the site, doing some research. I love my AR-15 and my Glocks. I carry everyday here and look forward to surfing the site and learning from...
