Its going to be interesting once the trial is fully over. I don't think TN cities will have anything to worry about but Florida and some other places, definitely. I wonder how many other self defense shootings will be seen once the riots start? Too bad most of the people making the threats don't appear to have the intelligence to understand exactly what they are proposing and the consequences of their actions....but we all know the education and parenting system are broken.

Tons of tweets all across the country of people saying they will riot, and some saying they are going out to kill a Hispanic or white kid when Zimmerman gets off. Why doesn't Prism do something about the death and riot threats (domestic terrorism?). /s

RCBS RockChucker is a very good single stage. One thing to keep in mind is up front price vs quality and long term "cost to own". When I purchased my equipment I stayed away from some of the cheaper brands that only have a 1-2 year warranty and purchased Hornady/RCBS equipment that has lifetime warranties. The bigger companies do cost a bit more up front than some of the Lee kits for example but have a better warranty and they truly stand by their products. Not knocking Lee as I know some of their stuff is great and lasts forever, but I like knowing my equipment is covered when something breaks in 5 years.

Sierra Reloading Manual - data needed
TNMTBik3r replied to TNMTBik3r's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Awesome, thanks a bunch Caster! -
I am needing the Sierra data for 30-06 Springfield. I can usually find the information online from somewhere but am coming up short this time. Does anyone have the Sierra 5th edition manual, and would it be possible for you to scan/upload the 30-06 data, specifically the 180 grain data? Or if you know an online resource that has Sierra's full data, I would appreciate it. I am purchasing the manual soon just don't have it yet.

I have only had one brass stuck in a die so far, Federal 30-06 brass and the rim tore/bent and pulled out of the shell holder. I had the RCBS stuck case remover and in a few minutes had the case removed with no harm to the die. This happened the one and only time I tried using Mica... (Following a friends instruction).

Mythbusters did that a couple of years back... Impressive though.

Extreme Danger: Brady Liberal With A Gun

Where is week 2? Haven't seen it in her site or Huffington Post... -
I have stayed out of the discussions about the case until now but have followed the case and these threads closely. I have watched the live coverage the past 2 days, and one thing that really caught my attention today is that the CSI tech admitted they did not spray the grass/sidewalk for blood, just looked for obvious blood evidence using flashlights. This was up to a couple hours after the fight/shooting and it had been "drizzling" rain during that time. I sent Andrew a tweet, would really like his and others thoughts on the way the crime scene was investigated. It sounded like several pieces of evidence were not fully/correctly processed? Swabbed but not sent to a lab, etc? Did I understand correctly?

Boston Bomber’s Name is Read As Victim of Gun Violence

Not at all surprising. Disgusting, but it is what happens when there is an agenda to fill. -
Powder coating the easy way
TNMTBik3r replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I'm planning on trying this soon. Just waiting to get all my supplies. @jay, very interested to see your results and anything you learned for me to watch out for. -
Ruger P90 45cal. Put crimson trace laser grips on it. It was a great shooting pistol, but traded it in for a Ruger sr40c that is easier to carry and my girlfriend liked the feel and recoil much better. I do miss it, but am buying another .45 later this year (maybe Sig 1911, not sure yet).

I called and left a message, want to take a look around. I'm needing a couple of items. I never meet him, but heard lots about him. Never was able to visit the club, every time I drove out there on a weekend instead of MCGC the gate was up.

I'm sure she was perfectly normal. After all, cars don't kill people the way evil guns do. /s -
What is the most you will pay for ammo?
TNMTBik3r replied to crossfire's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I know I can get CCI for just a couple bucks more, and they are more reliable IMO. -
Since he is only against lead bullets...just use non-lead bullets and ammo. :)

Would need to be a pic heavy article too... -
Extreme Danger: Brady Liberal With A Gun
TNMTBik3r replied to gun sane's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Yep, she needs to be responsible and actually learn more about what she is carrying. However, it is easier and fits the agenda to be in fear of the inanimate object and write posts about how easy it is to get a deadly weapon. It will be interesting to follow this story. Maybe she will visit a range and actually learn how to handle/shoot the weapon and realize that it is a tool to be respected but not feared. -

Yikes!! "Hands shaking as I sit with this gun on my hip near all these children...." She on the 'list' yet? She writes this and sounds half insane. It is a firearm, not a live rattlesnake. -
Powder coating the easy way
TNMTBik3r replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I may give it a try, worst case they don't work and I store them until I begin casting. I've never shot lead before, always bought plated bullets, but since the powder coating prevents leading I figured it worth a try. I guess really my question should have been, does the hardness matter (I think not based on one of the above posts) and does it work with bullets that are shipped already lubed? I know some manufacturers lube and some don't. -

TNMTBik3r replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Has anyone tried powder coating purchased lead cast bullets, such as from Falcon? Buying supplies this weekend with my neighbor and thought about getting Falcon lead bullets instead of plated stuff I have been using. If it would work, I know Falcon cast is .356, this post says the coat adds about .002 which means I would need to buy equipment and resize? Or would I need to slug my barrel and determine that for sure? I can continue buying the plated bullets instead of going with lead now, cost savings is only about $2 per 100 until I have the equipment to cast my own.
