I just picked up some Pacmayer (sp?) 12 G snap caps. They are hard plastic and have spring loaded "primers." The only thing I don't like is they are very light and don't feel like a real shell. I'm too paranoid to practive with live ammo

Thanks.

blkbrd - Where did you get the Halfman Custom hollow titanium rod?

Well, my shotgun shooting isn't too bad, but my reloads suck! It's hard to get a decent HF when you reloads suck What do you guys use when practicing SG reloads? 12 guage snap caps or what? Thanks.

I've played with John's G35 on which he mounted the Ice magwell. It’s huge and makes it very hard to miss your reloads. It's just too big for my big hands though.

That's a bummer! I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler that's been great and a lot of off road fun. I really only drive it on the weekends though. The Wrangler is not a good every day type of car.

I agree. There are also people in the US that abuse other fundamental rights guaranteed by our nation such as the freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion. IMO, the abuse of fundamental rights by certain people IS NOT A BASIS to remove the fundamental rights for other citizens. Many European and other socialistic nations either do not understand this concept or understand it and choose to reject it. Either way, it's a paternalist attitude that I strongly oppose. Every time I travel outside the US I feel fortunate to be a US citizen. I understand why many foreigners risk everything they have in order to leave their country and come to the US. If you disagree with US rights/politics, you have choices as well. Take care. BTW - I don't like armchair commandos either!

See, that's the fundamental problem and why your gun ownership is eventually doomed to nothingness. When you base the justification of gun ownership on sports and games, there is no way to make even the weakest argument to the average voting sheep that ownership of guns is somehow more important than the illusion of "public safety" among the collective. If you can't assert that gun ownership is an inherent human right that is not at the whim of others, including the government, it's just a matter of time before you don't have guns. I realize the reality that most of the world faces... it's gone too far and there isn't a remedy I can see short of "resetting" your system. I just hope we few Americans left in America can stop our own system's descent in that direction. Well said Rhino! The difference in our country as compared to others lies is the Second Amendment. The basis for the Second Amendment is NOT sport or hunting - but the right of the individual to ultimately protect himself/herself - and even oppose the government with force. While this sounds radical, remember that our Founding Fathers were revolutionaries who won our freedom from an oppressive government through force. They did not believe in an all-powerful central government like we have today (consolidation of power in the Federal government was started by and was the goal of Lincoln). While I really don't care about whether a stage is scenario-based or the shape of the targets, I completely agree with your political statements.

What's the poundage of a stock Glcok recoil spring for a G35/34/22/17 (they all use the same spring apparently)?

See if any of this info helps: http://www.bushmaster.com/faqnew/content_b...d=181&catid=100 http://www.bushmaster.com/faqnew/content_b...id=154&catid=96

As long as I use the Lee Factory Crimp die, I have no problems with .40 brass and Glocks. The only issue I've ever had was traced to "operator error" in a max load 9mm that I loaded too short.

Ronnie - check your PM and give me your phone #. Thanks.

Thanks Rich. Someone told me that the CM works best with 3+ dram.

rtr - thanks - what dram equiv?

I just bought a new Remington 1100 Competition Master. The Area 6 3G is less than a month away and I don't have time to test a lot of loads for my new shotgun. What loads are you CM owners using? What dram equiv? Thanks for your help.

John, What do you figure your cost is on a 1,000 rounds of .223 with this set up? Thanks.

Erik - I'm in GA.

Thanks Bob.

You can also use a Lee Factory Crimp die when reloading. It will completely resize the brass and get rid of the Glock "bulge."

Thanks Bob. Do you guys do that work? Also, is it economical to lighten and re-chrome the slide - or just start over with a new pistol?

I bought an Edge from Dawson about a year ago. Dawson did a reliability job and trigger job. It’s hard chromed and has a Brazos Lightening Rod front sight, Ice Mag well, tungsten guide rod, STI Recoil Master and some other miscellaneous parts. The Edge has about 3-4K rounds through it with 100% reliability – even my short Glock .40 loads. I’ve decided that it’s just too heavy for me and I want to go with something lighter. I can’t easily take off metal because it’s hard chromed, so I think I’ll sell it and start over. What’s a fair price for my Edge (I’m keeping the mags)? Thanks.

Thanks Matt. Do the mags still lock back on an empty chamber when shortened?

Thanks Eric.

I have some 10 round .40 mags that are VERY hard to seat - to the point where I would not use them in a match. Any tips on how to loosen them up? Does anyone use differnt followers with them? Thanks.
