Very sorry for your loss, Joe. Dogs are so much a member of the family - she was lucky to be a part of yours. I'm sure you gave her a good life. Tom

Adverse possession is one option - if you've each occupied the other's property for whatever the required time period is in your state you can file a "quiet title" action to legally take ownership of the property. There are usually four requirements that need to be met for a successful claim of adverse possession - Google it for details. Another option is "acquiescence" - if you and your neighbor have both been maintaining the property on your side of the "assumed" boundary for the time period required in your state you can have the legal description modified to make that boundary the "official" boundary line. Acquiescence is easier to prove than adverse possession, but it requires both parties to have treated the "revised" boundary as the actual property boundary for a specified time period. Good luck.

How do you use a chronograph to work up a load?
TCBDoubleTap replied to LeviSS's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
This is the best explanation of using chronograph results in developing a load that I've seen yet - thanks ID! Tom -
I've never had an issue with Chip McCormick Power 10+ magazines. Tom

Merry Christmas everyone and best wishes for a Happy New Year! Tom -
Natchez has Speer Lawman 9mm in stock - and is offering a discount on 20 or more boxes. Haven't been able to order a full case of ammo in a long time... Mine shipped the day after I placed the order. Tom

If I see that one (or more) primer has gone into the primer magazine upside down I watch the primer slide as I'm loading so that I can fix it before it gets seated in a case. When I see the upside down primer in the primer cup I pull the case out of the shell plate and push the handle forward (on a 550). Then I just use a small piece of tape to lift the primer out of the cup, flip it over and drop it back in. Slip the case back into the shell plate, seat the primer and continue loading. Tom

Dillon 650 - Shellplate alignment
TCBDoubleTap replied to ClayK's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I'm not familiar with the 650, but on my 550s I tightened the dies with the shellplate all the way up and with rounds in all of the stations. This helps ensure proper alignment of the dies with the stations on the shellplate. Tom -

It taught me to pay attention to Sarge - on November 7 he posted this... I'm ordering enough tonight to last me 5 years of shooting. I only shoot about 7500-10000 rounds a year. 50k primers and 40 lbs of powder should about do it. Thank goodness I use small Rifle primers.. No more load development for me! LOL I got into this sport right after the 2008 election and thought I had made a terrible mistake as I could not find a gun, powder or primers for months. I won't let that happen again.

Reloading Assistance Requested - Mansfield, OH
TCBDoubleTap replied to KevC's topic in General Reloading
Great summary by Poppa Bear. The only thing I would add is to put a case in station 1 each time you index the shell plate to the next station. For the most consistent results, each station should have a case in it. Tom -
Primer System Maintenance and Change
TCBDoubleTap replied to Dr.J's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
The only thing I would add to John's explanation is that you might want to clean off the bottom of the primer slide bar with a green ScotchBrite pad. Don't use sandpaper! Reassemble with some powdered graphite and you should be good to go. Tom -

Square Deal B - Seating CCI Primers
TCBDoubleTap replied to Jackruger's topic in Miscellaneous BEginners
Welcome to the forum! Usually when primers are referred to as being hard they're referring to the primer itself, not that they're necessarily more difficult to seat. That's why you've probably read suggestions that some primers require a stronger firing pin strike than others. As long as the brass you're using isn't crimped you shouldn't have any problem seating CCI primers with a SDB press. Tom -
Newb needs help on press choice
TCBDoubleTap replied to Running Dog's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
It's less expensive in the long run to start with a Dillon press that will last you a lifetime than to buy a lower-priced brand only to find that you should have bought a Dillon in the first place... Tom -
