    starting with only $500

    Lee classic turret over here but I use a hornady powder drop with a case activated throw 'cause I do rifle as well. The pro auto-disk should be fine if you don't want to do more than 40gr of powder. Get a double disk kit for double the fun but you're still limited to the smaller .30 cal...

    Lee Breech Lock Challenger kit ... good for starters?

    My first was the Lee Classic cast Turret. I'm really happy with it even though people said it was a pain for new people. Whatever you do just take it slow and pay attention. I didn't go the Kit route because I wanted to reload rifle. I eventually got a Hornady powder measure with their case...

    Powder Variance?

    It settled down a lot after I ran a lot of charges through it. I didn't calculate averages but I weighed three charges every three rounds and the farthest I saw from 42.8 gr was 41.8. I did find sometimes the powder throw would stick and I'd have to rethrow that case. The bottom limit for...

    Powder Variance?

    Any particular way it's supposed to fit in there? I lined mine up so the baffle inlet holes are perpendicular to the throw handle direction.

    Powder Variance?

    http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=493217 One of those? The Hornady LnL came with one exactly the same that I'm using. It kinda settled down after a pound or so of test charges. It's only off by ~ 0.5gr per throw now.

    Optimum 'top' for a reloading bench

    I have a 4x8 solid wood table I got in the 80's from surplus. 3 holes and it's good to go. The as far as HDPE: I found out several of the plastic shops in a nearby industrial park sell their scrap by weight. I was able to get two 6x6x18 blocks suitable for CnC work for $3/lb. It's worth...

    Powder Variance?

    Howdy, I have a Hornady LnL with a case activated dispenser on my Lee Classic Turret. I've never used a powder dispenser before and I'm getting a lot of variance in the throw weight with IMR 4064. My average over 14 throws was 42.32gr with a 95% confidence of +/- 1.32 grains. In other words...

    A sixer down, my logic's a bit flaky. I wholeheartedly agree with the concept of defense against atrocious action by secondary party be it government or individual. Armament against such action would be an expression of defense against atrocious action.

    The crux of the issue and what to do about it?

    So I've read the Wickard v. Filburn case that expanded the fed's ability to regulate via Commerce Clause and the subsequent 9th circuit Stewart case that was overturned on Gonzales/Ashcroft v. Raich. The court's decision as I see is one that allows the federal government the ability to regulate...

    Just contacted my: Dear Senator and Representatives,

    Honestly, if I pay the tax on it there shouldn't be an issue. If they have a problem with suppressed poaching make a big fine to have a silencer and a carcass. The GW has some authority to inspect gear already. This would just be an extension of what they already have. What I posted is what...

    Just contacted my: Dear Senator and Representatives,

    I am a hunter and shooting-sports enthusiast. I am a veteran and pursuing a PhD in Chemistry. I recently read through the RCW's with the intent of purchasing a noise suppressor for one of my rifles. I was shocked to find out I could indeed purchase one and pay the federal tax but never...

    I was out looking for a .308 Rem 700 and I found a great deal on a 30-06

    Thanks! I was guessing since a 30-06 case has a larger volume (4.43 vs 3.64 mL) I'd assume with everything else constant it would drop less for a given distance. Is that about right?

    I was out looking for a .308 Rem 700 and I found a great deal on a 30-06

    Like the title says, I was out looking for a .308 and I found a 30-06 ADL (mfg in 2006) for $400+tax and then an additional $40 off with rebate. I had them put a hold on it while I gathered some more info. As far as I know 30-06 and .308 are fairly similar; good for deer, similar ammo costs...

    If you could rewrite the constitution...

    Breaking in... I don't think it's a case of breaking in... If we just had a message that was so clear everyone could understand and relate with it then we'd get the coverage we wanted. I just don't know how to say what I want effectively right now. I figure if I ask other people what they...
