  1. Thanks all. Mine will be in the basement as well, no need for AC, so I'm looking at demumid only. Right now it's at 48%. Looking at Sarge's post, I started searching the target levels, looking around, maybe I'll be ok without anything. It's a lot drier here in winter. Blue edge,.. where did you get yours? I can find a lot of theory about them, but not real units
  2. For those of you that have gone to gun rooms or vaults: How are you controlling the humidity? Portable dehumidifier on a timer? with a drain hose or you dump it manually? thanks in advance, Dave
  3. Just a reminder: coming up... March is Colon Cancer Awareness month. https://healthfinder.gov/nho/MarchToolkit.aspx
  4. Thanks, I don't have a powder measure on it, I was doing individual measures with a dispenser and a 500 powder die to work up some loads, but I threw on on there, and no change. Taking off the shell plate and trying a different tension did the trick, I had just tightened down the bolt too far. It seemed fine after so long, but the new tension, now that i tried it, seems very familiar.
  5. I'm sure this is a real easy thing, but I just can't see it. I haven't loaded on the 550 for a few years. I switched it from 45ACP to 10MM, and now the primers are sitting high enough in the primer seating cup, the shell plate can't rotate. The shell plate rotates fine without a primer in the cup, and if I raise it, it turns fine. Before I switched it out, I loaded 500 45s and had no issues, there isn't anything stuck in the primer cup.. what am I missing? thanks, Dave
  6. Thanks, I skipped right over that... too focused on measurements
  7. I just received a Taran Tactical Glock basepad from Brownells. It's supposed to be a +3/4 basepad, but it seems so short. I'm wondering if they sent me a +0 pad. Before I take it out of the package and try it, can someone post the height of their +3 basepad? Thanks, Dave
  8. Thanks all. Eric, I've never seen that hood.. that looks like a good combo. I have what they say is a 4 moa dot now, but it's a very cheap reddot, so maybe it's smaller than it's supposed to be. At 25 yards a 4moa dot should look to be about 1" right? a 6 would be 1.5 and a 8 about 2"? Bigger just seems like it would be faster
  9. I'm really new to dots, so I'm still trying things out. Is there a cheap but decent red dot sight that has a 6 to 8 moa dot like a Cmore?
  10. Yes not even close, sorry for the mistake. I was thinking about the powder measures as a whole which I do interchange, never even noticed the funnels were different in the same caliber
  11. There's no difference between machines. The funnel fits the powder measure which is interchangeable. I load on 550s and a 1050, the powder funnel for 38/357 has a D stamped it where Chuck posted The part that goes into the brass: The inside diameter of the drop is .235" and the outside is .354"
  12. Control-0 [zero] usually gets the font back to normal on a lot of browsers
  13. I've seen some posts about making cay holders from angle iron but all the picture links are old. Anyone have a picture of one?
  14. I did it, a friend fitted the barrel for me, actually fits nicer than the original barrel. I don't think it's hard for an experienced gunsmith to fit the barrel Didn't need the ejector or firing pin, I do use a different recoil spring too between the 2 eta - added the recoil sping
  15. Go to your local recommend place.. see if they'll let you try them for a week
  16. Which one is that? Safariland USPSA Kit (1166361) with the 014 ELS Kit (1177161). Thanks,, missed the posting until now
  17. If you're squeamish about it.. suck it up and don't put it off. http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/dcpc/resources/features/colorectalawareness/ Colorectal cancer screening saves lives. If you're 50 years old or older, talk to your doctor about getting screened. Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. I've been fairly healthy my whole life, nothing at all remarkable, doctor visits were few and far between. I had no symptoms of any kind. After the 2012 SMM3G, I went in to get a physical, the company I worked for was having a health checkup push and paid for it 100%. Doctor said it was time for a colonoscopy, I was 53. Got that scheduled, yes, the prep was a bitch During the procedure, doctor stopped giving me the happy drugs. He wanted me to be able to comprehend what he had to tell me. Without a biopsy, Doctor told me he was 99% sure I had cancer, and to make an immediate appointment. Like others on the board unfortunately know, it takes some time to process that news. On the ride home my wife and I were talking.. did he REALLY just say that? Couple days later, met with the Oncologist, biopsy results were back.. no question. Scheduled surgery. Biopsy from surgery showed 10 of 12 lymph nodes affected. I had Stage 3 N2 cancer After a couple weeks of healing, started a 12 round course of chemo every other week. It's not as glamouris as it is on TV. After 5 hours in the chair, I wore a pump to infuse more F5U for 2 more days. 1st thing the chemo did before the usual nausea, etc.. made me hypersensitive to cold. It started immediately, washing my hands leaving the room the first day hurt. And it's funny to me now, but hypersensitivity to cold is a bad thing in Montana. By the end of the chemo infusions, I'd lost major sensitivity in my legs (hip down) and hands. 3+ years later it's gotten a little better, but it's still numb from the knees down, and my hands are about the same. In the last 4 years I've had to prep 3 times, and I get to do it again this summer. There are a few different preps available, some that are not as bad as others. Talk it over with your doctor for options. I'm posting this as a precautionary tale.. maybe if I'd gone in at 50, I could have avoided a whole lot of this. Dave
  18. Old thread.. back up Lasers on Shotguns.. help,hindrance or completely unneeded? The light mount I have now has a rail on it I could mount a laser on (I have an extra - thanks Crimson)..
  19. Thanks for the responses! Cold weather, I have gloves/mittens for that.. in the description.. I did say cool weather... lol I think we have what you'd consider cold weather here in Montana
  20. Anyone have recommendations for some decent work gloves good for cool weather that still have some dexterity? I'm talking about the 20's or so.. When it's truly cold, I'm not working outside.. lol
  21. The amount of regs on banks to try to prevent money laundering or other illegal uses is staggering..
  22. Much smaller than I thought it would be when I picked it up.. 85% didn't sound that much smaller
  23. Anyone have experience with these? Just want it for a plinker, maybe steel challenge, but don't want another jam-o-matic 22. Thanks, Dave
  24. I can tell this is going to cost me.. this would be a lot of fun
