Iuvmybertta sent me a link to one of the videos you mentioned (Mrgunsandgear) and everything went pretty smooth. It took me about a half hour but it went okay. If I can do it anybody can. Good luck!

What kind of set up do you have on the front rails? I've been looking at the omega 9k pretty hard, if you're thinking of putting a suppressor on it you should check it out. Congrats!

Esco...
I always resize the brass, flare it as little as possible to get the bullet started to seat, and use a bit of a taper crimp... The 9 and ACP dies should be taper crimp dies... I measure the outside of the case at the case mouth with the bullet seated with a dial caliper or a micrometer, note the reading, and adjust the taper crimp die to crimp about .002 tighter than the original "no crimp" reading... It works well for me... Lotsa folks who bulk reload will tell ya this aint necessary... I kinda like it anyway... Bullet pull (...the amount of squeeze the case puts on the seated bullet...) and crimp is important with slow burning powders like the heay kickers use... Not so much with the faster powders... I like the crimp thing to make sure that the bullets wont set back on recoil and feeding with the semiatuos...
RE: "Reloading number of times on the cases"... Resize em every time (....i think this is far more important than the taper crimp, by the way...) and reload em till ya see a case mouth split... When they split, toss em... I tend to keep my cases separate in 100 to 400 piece batches.... They will tend to go bad together... When ya get tired of sorting the splits, toss em all...
Hope this helps a bit...

What scales are you using? I'm using Hornady 1500 digital, they get the job done but I can check the same round 3 different times and get three different weights, it's not much but dang. I've done a lot of looking around online and reading reviews and haven't really found anything better be 50/50 reviews.

I've been doing fiction Audiobooks. Great way to pass time on the road!
I keep something in the CD player most of the time. I just started the Jack Reacher books this week.

Maybe if you just went down there everyday and perched on top of one of stools bull####ting about the stupidest of things and blocking potentially paying customers who might like to see what's in the display case, they might do you a favor.
They are an outgoing friendly bunch.

I think I have it taken care of men thank you very much.

Does anyone know of an FFL around Mt Juliet that will transfer from an individual? I've already tried the Reloaders bench.

I understand... A "squib" will sober ya up, no matter the source... The advice about paying attention before pulling the trigger on the next round is golden... I've handloaded for the last 40 years or so... Never had a rifle round squib, but have had some revolver squibs... Mostly from lotsa slow burning powder, like 296, in 44 mags or 45 colts... Lotsa times the handload squibs are from poor bullet pull... That's why its so important to size the brass well and crimp the bullets in the heavy duty revolver loads...
leroy....
Do you crip 9 or 45? I've only been loading since May but this was my first issue. The book says little or no cramp is needed on 45 or 9 but there's lots of variables I know. What's your max on how many times you will reload the same brass?

I had my first and hopefully last squib today. I actually tried to cycle another round in the chamber but luckily it was far enough back not to let the slide close. Dumb move on my part! If something seems wrong stop and check it out. I thought I would pass this along so maybe somebody could learn from my stupid mistake.

Nice! Sorry no, I seen the full rail yesterday though and it was pretty sweet.
-
Is this the one that has the full rail?

Andy Guy with Sundek 615 533 3436.
Mark Russel concrete. 615 405 9305
Both of these guys do good work but like Raoul said it's that time of year, other than service were booked up for at least a couple months depending on the weather. I'll talk to the father-in-law tomorrow and see if there's anybody else he trusts.

I know what you mean, the MP5 has all the right curves!
-
This is a Brugger & Thomet APC 9, other than the crazy price tag do any of you guys or gals have any experience with one? I've been through Google and YouTube and seen no bad reviews. If you had to pick this or the MP5?

Remember a forward vertical grip makes an AOW/NFA item. Angled foregrip is ok though.
I'm still green on all the NFA garbage, but with a few things in jail I thought I knew the important stuff. My little brain just can't comprehend how they come up with these laws. Thanks for the info.

If it were me I would change it, especially if I ever wanted any kind of NFA items. It will make life much easier down the road. I was in the same boat several years ago before I got my permit.
