Fair enough. It appears several guys agree with your comment so I'm certainly not going to argue with you. The question does appear to come up often enough that it shows up when I do a Google search however, as you point out, there really is no definitive answer as to which method refers to...

Yeah but I'm not sure I can find 0.284 diameter bullets (I guess so for the 7mm Rem Magnum) or brass. But I agree. There are several reasons I reload.

Actually chamfering is done to the inside of the case mouth to allow the bullet to enter without damaging the bullet. The outside of the case mouth is "Deburred" for the reasons you gave.

Yep, same here but it was a Montgomery-Ward store. They got a ton of Mauser rifles in and were selling them for $40 if I recall correctly. I bought one and still have it even though I doubt I could find ammo for it.

True but annealing the case neck will extend the life. It's a trade-off as to whether you want to go to the time and expense just to get a few more uses from a batch of brass or not. I've got about 3,000 pieces of 223 Norma brass I keep cycling through and Norma claims their brass will handle...

I don't know if it was the same where you were years ago but back in the 60's and 70's we could walk into any hardware store (this was the days before Lowes and Home Depot and small family-owned hardware stores abounded) and buy all the common calibers of ammo, rifles, pistols, etc. Not many...

It's been so long since I adjusted mine I've honestly forgotten. Once it is adjusted there is no need to readjust it unless you have to replace the cutter assembly (the tool steel cutter doesn't last nearly as long as the carbide cutter so the carbide cutter is a worthwhile investment). If you...

I use the RCBS Trim-Pro 3-Way Cutter with an old (as in 20+ years old) RCBS Trim Pro 2 case trimmer. The 3-way trimmer works GREAT in my opinion, especially with the carbide cutter. The tool steel cutter didn't last that long and so far the carbide cutter has surpassed it at least 2 times over...

Hmmm ... No Nissan on the list.

I don't really know how to compare the load of a camera to the load (specifically the recoil load) of a rifle but it does need to be considered. A camera, even with a huge lens, is just a vertical load on the tripod whereas a rifle firing is going to put load on the rear legs and take load off...

I agree with your philosophy but he is right. People like that never give up once they achieve a goal, they just make up new goals to pursue.

Amen! I'm a new member here and appreciate the electronic "Space" to voice my opinions to like-minded folks. I enjoy learning from others and just trading stories along the way. Merry Christmas to all those who have made that possible for me and I look forward to many more.

My philosophy as well.

I don't have any but I'll see if I can take a few in the next few days.

Cleaning a WWII FN High-Power that my step father brought back after the end of hostilities. Made in Belgium, German markings all over it (couple of swastikas, couple of German eagles), nice little keepsake.

I was thinking about something along those lines a few weeks ago. I noticed an old 70's vintage pickup truck that had an empty gun rack in the rear window of the cab and realized that it's been decades since I saw one of those. In this part of the country they were as common as ticks on a dog...

Well, I'm certainly a member of the "Old" generation and I'll mention something that I've noticed and may yet give you hope. Starting back in the 60's or so I began hearing politicians in this country spouting "We will ban EVERY SINGLE GUN IN ________ " (fill in the blank yourself) but I have...

I agree, and I guess that's the point I was trying to make but he did it better. You have to think the situation through to the bitter end even though you don't have enough time to do that. This is probably the most serious type of situation any of us are likely to ever get thrown into and we...

The questions posed by this article are important for everyone to consider, however they do go a little deeper than the superficial "No Guns Allowed" sign. Let's consider a couple of quick situations (I'll skip some of the blanks so you can fill them in for yourself). #1 -- You and your spouse...

I used to run a land surveying crew and one day we were way back on the back side of a farm running a boundary survey and I found a tube from an M-72. Unfortunately it had been used and was just the tube, I would have given the world to find an unused one! We lived in Clarksville, TN at the...
