For my part, at the buisness where I am supervisor, I am having staff members lower the flag today to commemorat Pearl Harbor day. It goes back up at midnight tonight. I have nothing against Mandela personaly, but am not going to cheapen our national heros by overlapping the flag being at half...
Joe Bell of bell precision does it, he is near St Paul. He did a CZ82 for me in two tone and it turned out great. Last
I knew he charged $200. Sorry I dont have a phone number, he is on the web.
The last time I was there primers were $40 per k, 9mm was $200 per 250 rds, think it was white box but not sure.
So, not great pricing on the primers, but I've seen worse, can't
speak to the 9mm since I dont shoot it.
Before buying a particular book, try looking at loaddata.com. It costs $20 a year, and has data from different powder and bullet manufacturers. Its not a complete resource for absolutely every caliber, but is a very comprehensive source of information
Since this is an inherited piece you may not want to do this, but I had a rolling block in a very similar caliber that I had a gunsmith rebarrel into a 45-90, very slight extractor work was done and that was it. I used it to take a buffalo in Nebraska year before last, next on the list is a boar.
You won't regret it, particularly for rifle loads. Had mine for nearly two years now, its been trouble free and every time I use it I am happy with how it performs.:yesway:
Unless the person is a close friend, I too ask for a signed bill of sale. In today's litigious society to me it's a smart thing to do. If that gun is ever used in a crime and you were the last registered user life could get uncomfortable for you very quickly.
Was mainly interested in primers, hate to pay the hazmat charge. But do need a couple die sets, and am fine with Lee if they are decently priced. Thanks for the additional info.
Did anyone that went today see much along the lines of primers, brass or bullets? Last time I went there was very little, didn't know if things had improved.
Wetsu,
I have two bucks I can donate, and will be in New Haven later today. We could meet up and I'd be glad to give them to you.
Sorry, that's two bricks.
I haven't seen any detrimental effects on the brass, I've done many different sizes of pistol brass, and 3 different types of rifle, both straight wall and necked. I am guessing that the water serves as a cushioning media so the impact on the brass is greatly diminished. I have noticed how...
I love mine, its accurate, does not have problems with stick powders. In the amount of time it takes for me to charge the case, set and seat the bullet, put the loaded round in my box and get the powder funnel on the next case it has weighed out the next charge. Its not so fast for pistol loads...
What's a groundhog? The damn coyotes have nearly eliminated them in my neck of the woods, I don't think I've seen a whistle pig in a couple years near my house. :dunno:
