I'm just not competitive. I shoot for fun, and to practice for personal protection.

I use common sense, which seems to be a diminishing attribute these days.

I recently purchased a SDB. I'm glad I did.

As punishment for your cruel prank, you should be forced to design a casefeeder for the SD.

I'm 5'10". I mounted my SD at 38", which is comfortable for me.

UPDATE: I used a light application of Dry Lube on a batch of 9mm brass yesterday evening, and it definitely made the resizing stage much smoother. Thanks, fellers.

I've always tumbled brass indoors on a concrete basement floor which I clean regularly. I also keep a lid on the tumbler, and always wash my hands after handling components. I'm not going to lose any sleep worrying about lead poisoning.

Yesterday was the first time I enjoyed sunshine while shooting at the range since last fall. Thankfully, this range does have a shelter that provides protection from precipitation, and blistering summer sunlight.

And then the temperature and humidity levels get high enough to melt lead. That's when I get to the range at dawn, and pack it up by 10:00 AM.

Thanks for your prompt replies, gentlemen. Since you all have favorable opinions about lubing 9mm pistol cases, I think I'm going to give it a shot...One Shot, that is.

I recently purchased a Dillon Square Deal setup for 9mm Luger from Brian Enos. So far, I have absolutely no complaints about this wonderful little blue machine. But I have been rolling my own on a Rockchucker and an RCBS Turret Press for the past 14 years, and I am a bit embarrassed to admit that my current skill level when operating this progressive press is still rather awkward... But it sure is fun use. Anyway, I have a question concerning the use of One Shot case lube on 9x19 cases. I have never lubed straight-walled pistol cases before because I've always used carbide sizer dies. And even though the SD has a carbide sizer and easily resizes 9mm cases without lubing them, would a light application of One Shot significantly improve the process? If One shot is worth using on 9mm cases, does it leave any residue that must be removed from the loaded rounds before they can be fired?

The Mexican government severely restricts gun ownership, and imposes a fifty round monthly ammo limit on those privileged few who can legally own firearms... Is California still a part of the United States, or should it be renamed Mexifornia?
