Re: Which powder for .45acp?
I've used Alliant Bullseye, Unique and Red Dot for .45 ACP... that said, none of those meter all that well because they are large flake (disc) powders and care has to be taken with automated measures when you use that kind of powder. Bullseye is great for light target loads and Unique is good for mo...

Re: What Press for a beginner?
I'm also thinking about getting into reloading. I have two books that should arrive in the next couple of days- ABCs of reloading, 9th ed. and Lyman, 49th ed. I'm thinking about eventually getting this starter kit from Midway USA: Sale Rebate RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Single Stage Press Master Kit ...

Re: What Press for a beginner?
I got mine strictly for .45acp. Then friends wanted reloading done and i agreed but they had to buy the dies. Now i got 40,.38,9mm and .50ae dies but not a single person has asked for me to load anything. I offer but they always say maybe later. I have never done rifle calibers. Looks a lot harder....

Re: What Press for a beginner?
I started with a progressive and it was not too bad a learning experience. If you are mechanically inclined then just buy a progressive and you are futureproof. If not then start simpler with a singlestage. I hate buying twice so I just jumped in with both feet. Progressives are great if you reload...

Re: What Press for a beginner?
You can never go wrong buying RCBS for a single stage press starting out. Their Customer Service is second to none and the equipment will last a lifetime. Actually, I personally consider that advice outdated. While there is really nothing wrong with the RCBS Rock Chucker, the Lee Classic Cast beats...

I call "no gun zones" like college campuses "designated victim areas".

Re: IOWA says YES to Bachmann
I haven't really begun following the candidates yet, but from the little I've seen of Michelle Bachman, she seems like another Sarah Palin -- not wrong per se, but she comes off as unintelligent when she tries to articulate her views. I pretty much agree. She will get chewed up and spit out by the ...

Re: IOWA says YES to Bachmann
Nominating Michelle Bachman would be a huge mistake for the Republicans because she has no chance to win the general election. I think even as a VP candidate she'd sink the ticket. The media has been way too successful at branding her as a extremist kook to the important moderate swing voters and in...

This isn't the one I have, but it is similar... and the brand name of this one is humorously appropriate.

Re: Afraid that my gun would be mistaken as a phone
no wallets????? That's NOT something I'm leaving in my truck. They had lockers inside the office in plain sight of the front desk. I left my cell in my car, the wallet and keys in the locker, and the gun and extra magazine in my pockets. Embalmoux Where was your CHL plastic at the time you were in ...
