best reloading accessory ever.

get the MSDS for the powders you have.
for instance, http://www.accuratepowder.com/products/msds/
the MSDS has explicit instructions for dealing with smokeless powder fires.
specifically take note:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:Apply large volumes of water as quickly as possible from automatic sprinklers or with fire hose from a distant,protected location. FIGHT EXPLOSIVE FIRES ONLY FROM WELL PROTECTED,DISTANT (FROM POINT OF FIRE) LOCATION.Since product is self-oxidizing, smothering agents such as dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam are ineffective.that last sentence is extremely important!

very happy with my vibra prime. feeds CCI butter smooth with no hangups.

i have a mossberg 930 and a remington 1100 trap, both of which always go to the trap range with me.
the mossberg is the only one which keeps running reliably -- about 20k rounds through it now with few issues. wooden forend cracked and then blew up in the middle of a trap round. well, thats why i keep the remington as a backup gun. replaced the furniture with plastic. now its ugly tupperware but at least i won't worry about scratching it!
the remington sure looks pretty, even when it malfunctions -- which is often.
mossberg parts can be a pain to come by, but it can be done.

3/8 lock washer works fantastic for me.

everyone thinks the vibra prime is crappy and a waste of time.... right up until the moment they use one.

hornady one shot is poor lube for the money. homemade (lanolin+alcohol) outperforms it handily. for large cases use imperial case sizing wax, there is nothing better.

I'll be happy to buy those defective 930s. offer same as Griz - $350. you now have multiple buyers interested in taking these defective 930s off their hands.
I don't know if you'll get any takers, but the price you're offering seems about right.
if these 5 shooters really have defective 930s, there is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't take us up on this offer. after all, their 930s are just paperweights right now. right? at least this way they'll get some money they can put towards a working shotgun. who else would pay $350 for a broken shotgun?

RMR are easily my favorite plated projectiles. availability is much better than berry's or xtreme.

I spoke a little too quickly. I bought aluminum tubes (from McMaster-Carr, I believe. Found part #'s earlier in the thread) and put cotter pins in one end and use the rubber caps on the other.
what's the part #s for the tubes?

loaded about 5000 small primers so far.
cci SPP / SRP always load smooth, virtually 0 hiccups.
winchester SPP loads with occasional hung primers. an upwards smack on the VP and they start feeding again.
zero flipped primers!
very very happy. no more pecking!

i love mine. a picatinny mount would make it even better.
love mine, just about the only chrony usable at indoor ranges.

fully cleaning the 930 piston is absolutely required. and not mentioned at all in the manual

It is also not "wildly irresponsible" to advise caution regarding a product which gets mixed reviews in regards to reliablity. None of my 5 reference shooters are top tier competitors (although 2 of them are working hard to get there). Also to suggest that the consumers are some how at fault because they may or may not have sent them back to the manufacturer for warrantee work is nothing more than a distraction from the fact that the product doesn't work as intended. We have a very short 3 gun season in Colorado. If I shoot all of the matches available to me, I will only get in about 10 or so per year between April and Sept'ish. For us, reliability is paramount as a defective or broken shotgun can leave you warming the bench for most of the season. I don't need empirical data to know that caution is warranted with the 930. Until someone feels emotionally attached enough to the 930 to put in the time to figure out the problems and offer solutions, then the question will remain unanswered. Benny already gave it the college try and walked away.

Have you tested your blood lead level?
in General Reloading
Posted · Edited by bani
most lead exposure comes from indoor ranges with poor ventilation. it mostly comes from the lead styphnate primers, not the bullets.
i included lead testing with my last regular medical exam when they did a blood draw. cost almost nothing and came back 0.0. and i shoot a lot indoors. the range has really good ventilation.
