Can you post a video of it in operation? This looks amazing!

Thank you again, one and all for the info. As hard as it is to actually get guns, I figured that there must be crazy restrictions on casting and reloading as well. This at least puts my mind at ease...

Thank you! That is a lot of good information!

Thank you for the responses so far. I'm going to Darmstadt for work, but based out of Wiesbaden, since I understand Darmstadt has no real facilities. Both are near Frankfurt, from what it appears on...

Hey, I'm being sent to Germany, and am curious if there are any restrictions or legal hurdles to casting in Germany. Anyone know if there are environmental regs to deal with or other hassles? I'm in...

I finally took the plunge last night, and upgraded from a yearly member, to an NRA life member. Half price right now ($500 as opposed to ($1000). NRA isn't perfect, but they do a lot of good for our...

Thanks for the responses so far. Just makes me sick to think about storing all my guns, ammo, and casting equipment for the next 3-5 years. First stinking California, then stinking Germany.

Looks like Uncle Sam is going to send me to Germany near the end of the year, after some training in California. Anyone know what the laws are regarding casting in Germany? I know that firearm...
Anyone know where they can get a set of these dies? I'm looking towards getting a 22 tcm, but don't want to if I can't reload for it. So far my google-fu is letting me down on finding available dies....

You forgot the "Deny everything" option.

Would you trade for some diesel engine spark plugs?

100% agree. I've never understood the thinking behind the folks who have guns at home for protection, but don't keep them loaded, or keep them with the trigger lock or cable in them. What the heck...

I'm eagerly awaiting the Kindle version. I can't afford the space/weight anymore for real books, so I'm doing the electronic stuff nowadays. I thoroughly enjoyed your first one, though.

I use the World's Finest Trimmer (http://www.littlecrowgunworks.com/wft.html), which I love. You chuck it in your drill, and it makes very short work of repeatably trimming your cases.

I have the RCBS version of the same thing. I love it and can't imagine going back to doing case prep by hand. I hope you enjoy it. It's a great help for a very boring job.

That was my first thought as well. And the head wound could have come when he "charged the officer with his head down like a football player", as the witness statements read.

Prosecutor said it was a unanimous vote not to indict. That right there should tell everyone something. Even the 3 black folks voted NOT to indict.

I'm pretty sure HATCH was being facetious. He just forgot the purple script.

Amen. They made their bed. Let them sleep in it.

Sweet!
Sure am am glad I don't live in or around Saint Louis tonight. Bet it's gonna be a mess.

I think this is a close relative of the Model 1879 Deutsche Armeerevolver. Look at the...

Oh, that's good to know! I was thinking that I still must be doing something wrong.

Ok, just went out and tried loads at 36, 36.5, and 37 grains (5 each). Accuracy is good, and EVERY ONE of the cartridges from each of those 3 loads fully cycled the bolt. There were no failures of...

I hope that is the same for me, and a break-in will smooth things out after a while. For lube I'm just using Rem Oil (my old stand-by).
Now that I've gotten the powder to burn more cleanly,...
