That's what has caused the bulge for me in the past.
I now segregate +P brass and use it for SWC bullets only.

I can't figure why the security company would call the mgr., if that is how it went. Around here, the alarm co. calls 911, LE shows up, is let in by keyholder, and does the clearing.

This was asked in the Technical Q&A section of July's American Rifleman. For those of you that aren't members, I'll pass a little along.

This is the second time in 5 months that my reloading has been held up by breakage of some part of an auto prime.
I'm done with them.
I have ordered an RCBS universal priming tool.

Make it 7.
"Stop shooting" doesn't exactly describe my approach; more like "severely curtail" anything done with ammunition and maintain skills with air-powered guns.

We used to spit in our masks when scuba diving and it worked, but didn't hold up. A drop or two of anti-fog solution as sold in dive shops will take care of glasses fine. You can clean the lenses...

Until you modify your extractor, you can push inward (toward the bolt body) on the portion of the extractor that is to the rear of the collar as you are chambering a round. This will cause the part...

That is a beauty, doc. That the barrels were regulated so well on a double in that price range must be nearly a miracle. Sorry to hear about the surgeries causing you to have to part with it.

Did you know the magazine will hold 6 rounds?

Excellent advice.
Another thing you can do is read the local paper online, where available. This can fill in some of the info gaps as per local government, crime, businesses, etc.

I hope they can sell as many as they make.
There must be a big market for bolt guns in sporter trim, because EVERYBODY (it seems) makes them. I ran by a small gun store about 35 miles from me a...

Good deal....he is predictable. Take it from me: brass is easier to find with a good flashlight than waiting on the sun---hint, hint.
+1 on the .32 ACP. It is especially awkward after handling a bunch of .30-06 or 8x57's, etc. Until I get the "feel" for the little cases I am dropping them, not getting them into the shellholder...

Our local Wally has put up a sign on the ammo cabinet that says they are limiting sales of rifle and handgun ammunition to 6 items/customer/day.
Even at that, the selection was poor.
