    No good deed goes unpunished.

    I certainly hope that it won't make it into court. Hers is about the stupidest claim I've ever heard.

    At long last, Florida is sending my non-resident concealed carry permit. I should have it in just a few days.

    Super Bowl

    What game are you referring to? Yesterday, I was busy helping my son fix up his new home and also getting the old one ready to sell.

    What is a pinned barrel?

    For those who might not be able to see it, the pin is just at the forward end of the top strap (at the top side of the breech end of the barrel).

    .380 brass question

    Other than loading for strictly "fun" shooting, I load to be able to shoot more within my budget. A lot of what I load in my more popular calibers (.233/5.56, 9mm, and .380 for the most part) is emulation of my commercial defensive load choices. When I can, I use the very same bullets used by...

    Overall cartridge length

    I make dummy ammo using real cartridge cases and real bullets. The bullets are crimped into the cases exactly the way I crimp live ammo. I've run many of these dummy cartridges (in several calibers including 9mm and .380 ACP) through the appropriate firearms dozens of times with absolutely no...

    Overall cartridge length

    BDD, I almost always get the overall length data from the bullet manufacturer's suggested loads for their bullets. I don't generally buy bullets that don't have accompanying load data for them. For the bullets that I cast, I generally have info from the manufacturers of my bullet molds.

    Overall cartridge length

    I try to keep the batch within .005" (five thousandths of an inch). Some bullet types have shapes that aren't quite uniform enough to keep that tolerance but I always do what I can to minimize the spread in the batch.

    Overall cartridge length

    For measuring overall length of cartridges that I load, I always use a caliper - either a dial type or, more likely, a digital type. The digital type has the advantage of preventing an error due to a mistaken reading of the vernier.

    No problem. I'm glad you solved the issue. I use Firefox every day and don't have any problem. Maybe you can find an entry in the various Firefox security files to tweak.

    I am guessing that you are trying to start a new topic when you have one open already. A topic is also known as a thread. You cannot start a new topic (thread) when you are inside one already. Click on the Forum button at the top of the page. Then, click on any forum that you might want to...

    If a few folks want to post new "Test" topics, that's fine. Please remove (delete) them, though. If y'all don't have access to a "remove" button, we mods will remove them. Thanks.
