Looked at local store today. I'll be getting the comparator gauge. Not being meticulous from accuracy angle. Just want to be sure that I am operating within safe limits. Thank you all.

No, it's a Lee Challenger Single Stage.

So this is in addition to the comparator gauge from the way I understand it?

Sorry. Missed the second question. I actually am loading several. The rifle rounds as well as handgun. Berry's for 9,40,45. Hornady sp w/cannelure for 55g .223. 165 Nosler ballistic tips for 30-06.

.223/5.56 for an AR 30.06 for bolt action. Along with this I am wondering how to tell if I am bumping the shoulders back too far. I know that's another can of worms and off topic.

I am seeing a spread average of .008". I haven't opened the factory rounds to check yet. I know I have seen a variance if factory ammo in the past of about .002".

I'm good on that. I just cleaned and lubed them with hornady one shot.

O ring is not loose. I understand the concept of the gauge but not what components I need. Uncertainty breeding trepidation on my part. What is the complete package I am looking to get? The link only shows some of the components. Do I need the 2 foot long rod?

Tapatalk doesn't have a search function that works on either of my mobile devices. Sorry if this is a repeat. In several different calibers that I load I am having the same problem. My OAL seems to vary by several thousandths. All are Lee dies and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong because I have to go back and measure and seat, measure and seat,measure and seat until I am at proper length. Doing all a first round and dividing by lengths and resetting the die for each group. How much can I vary and not be concerned with it?

I have never heard this. Just tried with a 19. It went home and chambered. It is brand new, never fired. Tried with a 30. Didn't happen. Weird.

Negative. That's Trader Dave's. Anthony's is directly across from Red Bank Baptist Church.

Red, Is it possible the cylinder isn't lining up well with the barrel? Shaving lead on the way into the barrel?

Thank you for posting. The gun was bad. Really hits home when you can only see half the scope.

I stand corrected. I looked at it once and for a short time.

I do not recall the model I was looking at. I think a TP9. It had the decoder at the top of the slide. Neat at first until I realized the vulnerability of its placement to accidental decocking. Felt nice in the hand but needed some rethinking about the design.

I should also add they have a 15 year warranty as well. Can't believe how inexpensive they are.

I brought my gun to them myself and they replaced all the internals at no charge. Spring, connectors, and pins. Took 45 minutes to push the sights on and they test fired it.

I totally agree. I feel the same way about being hesitant to use the word, but "arrogant" unfortunately fits.

Interesting info. Both mine are marked"A". Have had mine for a while after purchasing new and it runs fine.

Glock 30!

I thought they had a lifetime guarantee? Call them.

Steel wool inserted and then the potatoe=tracer round. Awesome.

Wow! "No guns=no money" link at the bottom of page 4 is great!

Lowers with an angled trigger guard are the bain of Pmags. Noveske and Spikes have been approached by Magpul from what I have read to modify their designs. The ribs in the back of the mag can block them from seating.
