If they are not Carbide dies you will need lube. I use RCBS carbide dies for handgun calibers, so I can skip the lube.

I saw some good deals while surfing the internet. I was considering an order and saw on their shipping page that they don't ship to Tn. So I wrote an E-mail asking why and if they had a walk in location. Response: Our parent company is a wholesale only distributor, and they service the dealers in TN, GA, and AL. We have made in agreement to not sell in those three states to protect the dealers. We are a mail order company and not open to the public. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Been reloading and shooting for years. But I was just sitting here bored searching for the mechanics of how Brass casings are actually formed at the factory. Anyone have any links?

I carry the PT145 shown in my avatar, nothing but good things to say about it.

I carry the PT145 bought in October have about 1000rds through it so far with no hiccups. When you buy a Taurus new make sure you clean it good before the first trip especially the striker channel under the dust cap on the rear, as they put buckets of cosmoline in them.

I looked at a dozen different reloading sites tonight and everyone is out of stock on either 45acp bullets and brass some have one but not the other, others have both at a crazy price, and Midway didn't even work it kept giving me " Server Busy."

No the amount you can zoom on a picture depends on the resolution. A low end security camera takes probably lass than 1MP (Mega Pixel) so lets say tat pic has 1million pixels. Higher end camera go up to 8mp or more so yo uhave 8million pixels in the same amount of space. The 8mp I could blow up to a poster with no distortion visible to the human eye, The 1mp you can already see the pixels so there is very little that can be done. The most i can do is adjust to get the sun and shadows out or reduced to see it a little better.

Just for *****s and giggles I took your pic into Photoshop and played with it but its too dang grainy and the sun was so harsh I couldn't even make the color of the truck If I had to take my best guess it is light blue. But I do know since I had one that is a 92-95 Chevy/GMC 1500 series regular cab truck. Makes you want to go out and buy one of those GPS trackers so you can just go beat the hell out of them and take it back.

Former Reagan press secretary James Brady husband to Sara Brady of the Brady Campaign. He was dumb enough to take a bullet that was intended for Reagan(the secret services job), and paralyzed. Ever since then that woman keeps spewing anti gun BS of which she knows nothing about and donates millions to the most anti gun dems.

The gunshow loophole bill that barely lived to be voted on today just got killed 19-21.

I was watching the news the other night when the anchor said "Today we have lost a great man in political history, James Brady." I was about dancing hoping this might shut Sara the hell up for a while. But it turned out to be a reporter by the same name in DC.

Did he clean it before shooting. Taurus tends to pack the insides with a lot of cosmoline and gunks the works up. I have a PT-145 with about 1000 rds through it so far with no hicups.

The only 2 I know of is the "SafeKeeper" by Desantis gunleather. this is the rig TSA requires pilots to use, and IMHO a bad bad idea as there has already been a Negligent Discharge caused by this holster. The other is the Bianchi "carrylok" which you push a lever with your extended trigger finger to retrieve it from the holster. If you were looking toward Kydex there is the Blackhawk "serpa" holsters I carry the PT145 and there aren't a ton of choices out there.

They are not terribly hard to disassemble completely if you want to. Pull the tubular mag out of the stock then its just 2 pins and pull the bolt handle out the side. The reciever will slid up and off and the bolt assembly will all slide out.

Makes you want to puke. I wrote a rather vile E-mail to the city manager and the letter below to all the state reps and senator for that area. Here re the addys if anyone else is as pissed as I am Reps: andycoulouris@house.mi.gov jeffmayes@house.mi.gov JimStamas@house.mi.gov Senator: SenJBarcia@senate.michigan.gov

Uh Ohh I think I'm Sporting Wood..... Beautiful thats a lot of $$$ sitting there in that picture, wish I could afford just 1.

+1 on the Don Hume H715

My 3rd gen pt145 NIB 2mags in November was 349 + tax + tics

I carry the PT145 myself. Is a great little gun. Takes a few rounds to get used to the Heinie sights. After that its gravy.

Heya!!! Right between Kingsport and JC here

Hey Thanks everyone I haven't been on much with the Holidays and all. The new Pup is hell on wheels...Paws, but will work out fine. Hopefully 09 is far better than 08. Work is very slow and a printing company about the same size as the plant I work at shut its doors and screwed all its employees out of their last weeks checks. Hopefully Donnelley wont do the same thing Mazer did. I am casually looking at the job adds daily looking for a back up plan in case everything heads south.

I sold my 500 years ago but if I recall I had to use a BIG screwdriver and put an adjustable wrench on it. I am talking like a 16" long screwdriver with a shaft that was 1/4" or bigger. Mine was an old police trade in when I picked it up.

As if Christmas could suck anymore this year between work and money woes, I woke up Wednesday afternoon to find my constant companion for the last 12 years had died peacefully in his sleep (thank God). His name was Bingo and we stole/rescued him from an abusive family and he had been King **** on Turd Mountain ever since. We dont have kids but we considered him ours. We were heart broken and the house was just too quiet and joyless, So we went to the Unicoi County Animal Shelter and adopted 10 week old Isabelle AKA Izzy. She is such a trip and a Band-Aid for the heart to keep Christmas not completely depressing.

I have a JP Tensioning pin in mine to take up some wiggle the down fall is you need an Allen wrench to take it down now.
