Wherever we decide, if it's in Dayton, I just may show up for once. Maybe I could even get that swingarm from Ben? Maybe buy him a beer for holding on to it for 2 YEARS BECAUSE I'M AN IDIOT. was that out loud?

What if I support f#*%@(g censorship? Think about the children.

Cool idea.....Looks like it was furnished at Goodwill.

I assumed something like this from reading about the steps, but it's nice to have it all spelled out. Thanks again. I imagine this will be tedious, but if my hands get sore, I'll just have jbot do it, since he's got popeye arms for obvious reasons...

I was hoping someone would mention a local place, so I'll check out how accessible FFnF is, and maybe set up a trip. Thanks for the tip. As for the picture, yes, that's exactly the set of tools I got. I read somewhere that I would need the chamfer tool and the pocket cleaner, but I wasn't sure. They weren't expensive, so I just went ahead and got it to be safe, and since you also back that statement, I'm glad I did. Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it.

Perfect. Put him in a room with the police dogs and tell him he's free to go as soon as he eats them. Problem solves itself.

Just make one. Use this And hook it up to a CPLD with some flash, then take it when it's full. Card reader, yay! Shit, I have dev boards in my office right now that would do this if I just bought that scanner head and wrote some VHDL for it.

Where do you guys buy your consumables (powder/primers/bullets)?

AR for now, so i assume (and clearly correct me if I'm wrong) I'll need to pay attention to both the case length before charging and the C.O.L. after bullet seating to be sure it all cycles properly. Since I won't be doing this to amass a doomsday stockpile, I'll only be reloading brass that I control the history of. Only firing brass that I've shot from my own loads or new mfg'd rounds. I only plan on using boxer primed 223 brass since I won't be messing with Berdan shit or NATO primer pockets. Maybe someday when I'm better, but for now, I'm starting with straightforward stuff so I keep my variable count as under control as possible. I'm using a LEE turret press, and the depth gauge (perhaps I called it by the wrong term, so again, please correct my blunders) is a part of the case trimmer that trims the case by using overall internal depth when the round is spun on a drill chock or a zip spinner thing. At least that's how it was described to me, and how it appears on the LEE site. Both make good points on note taking, and I plan to follow the advice.

I already ordered the case trimmer and depth gauge. I've read that some people don't always trim, but I want to follow all the steps and measure between each stage. Masturbating after losing a thumb doesn't seem worth the shortcut. Like giving yourself the world's worst western-grip style handjob ever...

This is good stuff guys. I realize this must be taken slowly and carefully, and I'll be getting a manual of my own this weekend. I've been reading one of my tech's books, but I think it's best to just get my own and put in some time before I start. I'm going to start with only one type of load (223) and learn all I can about the process before even consider my other types. I think this will be a fun learning experience to keep the cabin fever at bay this winter, and since I'm not in this to arm a Waco compound, I won't be disappointed if I don't amass some crazy stockpile in a month's time. Thanks again guys, this is all helpful to read.

Dear ORdN, You have not let me down. Love, - Jew

Ever since I built the AR, I have been really interested in the basic building blocks of shooting in general, and I've decided to try some reloading. The science of it fascinates me, so I'm looking forward to trying it. I have my press and dies and other assorted tools coming in, and if I've learned anything since I've gotten into shooting it's the more I learn, the less I realize I know. That being said, I was curious if the more educated amongst you hill-jack, gun-hoarding, redneck, meat-eating hippie-haters could drop some knowledge on a Jew and give me a few pointers. I know I have a lot to learn and to take it slow, so I'm all ears if you have some tips or look-outs for me before I try to kill myself with consumer-grade explosives. (and if it helps, assume I want to hoard ammo for the Rapture or something, just so I fit in)

someone's steppin' out...

This might have been worth the trip from Dayton if Gen3 was gonna be drunk and slutty, but if she's DD, then life has lost it's luster. Now if Ben could promise to be drunk and slutty instead....

I don't like to form opinions until I listen to what The Real Housewives of Atlanta have to say first...

I see your nonsensical, and I raise you non sequitur....

My Jew sense is tingling! There's treachery afoot!

Ahhh, the classic ass-to-mouth. The Rolls-Royce of anal dismounts. Simultaneously the most soul-bearing litmus test of the moral fiber and depth of character of a woman, and the last great bastion of unadulterated and egotistical male awesome. and it's really degrading, too....

I actually use an E-350 for my track days and it's perfect. If I go myself, I just ramp the bike up in there and there's more room than you could need. Actually, it's an amazing fit for a single bike because the hook-clamp rails that are fixed to the frame of the truck for the seats are in the perfect location for tie-downs for a bike. Just un-clamp the seats and clamp down the bike. It's like it was made for it. If I go with other people, just tow a trailer along too. Also I can attest to the hauling ability of that drivetrain/chassis in the E-350. We had a trackday where my bike was in the back, and we had two other bikes and generators & gear in a ridiculous 26' trailer (the only one we could borrow that weekend) that was made for a collector car hauler, and it towed all that shit with 3 people no problem. These things may look cheesy, but it gets that job done, no dicking around. And mine is used as a day-care transport during the day, so I may have you beat on the church van. I have to remove candy wrappers and crayons to put bikes in...

plus it's a hell of a lot more fun.

I have an engineerection. But that is some admirable talent, patience and dedication. BTW, it looks like it may run on nitro fuel (like an RC car), then it just runs similar to a deisel. Just glow-plug it and get it started, then it keeps running with no spark.

I've been practicing hunting and eating people for a while now so I'll be fine. My Soylent Green factory will ensure my continued dominance over the fleeting masses.

there's a line I've definitely never heard before....:sadface:

jbot will be delicious, but they'll just be hungry again in 30 minutes....
