      I reloaded 100 9mm rounds last night.

      Nice! I've found that I absolutely hate dies that crimp and seat in the same step. I've since moved to Lee dies and crimp separately. No more crushed cases. Also, I really don't crimp much unless it's h110 for revolvers.

      Midway 6.5 ELD-M Blems

      They look great to me. I shoot a lot of blems from midway. 195 ELD, 200 ELD, 220 HPBT (definitely SMK), 300gr HPBT (also definitely SMK). The only think that I've found after weighing them and checking dimensions with calipers is that once in a while the plastic tips will be missing (maybe 1 in...

      My First (of many) Dillon Question

      Agree with the others here. Use the 10mm shell plate and buttons. I use the same.shell.plate for 223 and 300 AAC, as well as the 308 plate for 8.6 BLK. Definitely get another tool head per caliber. I like to have a powder dropper for every tool head as well. It gets more expensive but time is...

      Finally...the perfect carry weapon

      Man, those Wilson builds look sweet. I'd run that comp in low light vs your other 365 to see if one shot destroys your adjusted NV worse than normal. To each their own, but I like my carry guns to be factory other than sighting systems and lights. I either carry a 19x or a 43 depending on...

      ATF Coming After Firearms with Stabilizing Braces

      Fingers crossed for positive results from Dominic Bianchi et al. v. Brian E. Frosh et al. when the 4th Circuit stops dragging their feet and follows the direction of the Supreme Court to revisit the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 and it's constitutionality. My understanding is that the 29"...

      Reloading Software/Database

      Awesome, thanks! I'd love to check it out. Yeah, I'm trying to really nerd out and calculate how many grains I've loaded and decrement my total inventory in grains per each powder.

      VLAN's - Do I need one?

      I use NordVPN personally, but there are plenty of great options. Here's a link to pros/cons of some highly rated choices: https://www.tomsguide.com/best-picks/best-vpn

      Nexbelt Brand "Appendix Carry" Ratchet Belt in stock.

      If anyone is on the fence about getting an adjustable Nexbelt for IWB carry, I LOVE mine. I got the John Lovell version and it's phenomenal. I carry a tier 1 axis slim for glock 19/RMR/TLR-7a/spare mag, and it's super comfortable (for an AIWB holster).

      Reloading Software/Database

      I've been messing around with this too and I'm struggling to figure out the best database design for having it very adaptable with forms and reports. I currently have 4 separate tables; Powders, Bullets, Primers, and Load Data. My Powders, Primers, Bullets tables all have unique attributes...

      Can someone help me sight-in my AR15?

      I love that about the AR platform/optics, or any rifle where you can see down the breech from behind. It's so trivial to get on paper with your first rounds if you just set it stable, center your eye behind the bore, pick an object that you can see, and zero your optic to that object. I don't...

      Class/training to build an AR-15

      Yup, people get real butthurt with the "pressure" debate between the two chamberings. To my knowledge there has never been a documented incident of a gun blowing up because of this. These dudes didn't realize that 5.56x45 nato and .223 rem. are even different cartridges. It just highlights...

      Does anyone use software to track your collection?

      :lol: Yes, they are scumbags. Right, to your point, if you give them encrypted data, and you're not a big-deal scumbag that is worth some serious resources IOT get your data, you should be safe. I'm still cheap though it's not for me...yet. On the idea of storing your private key...do...

      Class/training to build an AR-15

      I'm not trying to start a squab, but I just prefer to read posts that sound like "Make sure that you get your information from Brownells, or a real gunsmith if you get it from the Internet," as opposed to "all Internet smiths are dumb and scary." I've learned a ton from some great online...

      Class/training to build an AR-15

      100%. Like you said, assembling an AR from parts is like a jigsaw puzzle; they only go one way. If you get a prebuilt upper with a properly headspaced BCG and barrel , the rest of the job is just bolt on parts. There are some great tips in this thread already for aligning the buffer tube...

      Reloading Software/Database

      Thanks! Yeah, I searched around a bit on here too and couldn't find anything really useful. Once I get something working I may offer it out to forum members to get them started. I tried using excel but I really want an input form that I can update with each load, calculating cost/etc, and I...
