NWI INGO General Post - Part 12

1, put snow or sand in the bed.
2, 4wd.

1. I'm helping my parents move and took the weight (160lbs of mortar and 80lbs of salt) out to help.
2. I'm so broke I can't even pay attention, let alone buy a different vehicle.

We all had a lot of fun. I was so excited that my first two stages were under three seconds that I forgot to reload for the third stage

That stage killed me for some reason. I think there were holes in the targets.

Next time can you go with bigger bullets or smaller targets?

My son passes the 1 month milestone today. Hard to believe it has been a whole month.

Give it another 25 years and you'll be like "are you still here?"
JK, congrats and enjoy.

So those 9mm pulls from American Reloading are giving me issues. I have taken a break from reloading 9mm to concentrate on 223 as I was getting frustrated with my problem. It seems that some of the bullets may of been squished while pulling causing some to fall into the casing when the bullet is seated, or while checking the OAl the bullet would seat deeper while using a dial caliper and light pressure. Others when crimp was applied I could twist by hand thus allowing me to remove the bullet. Is there a die to size them back or should I just post them here with the disclaimer and a lower price. I have probably 1900 left.

I have a phone interview Wed for a position in Oklahoma City, Ok.
I'm not sure how I feel about it, given everything that's been going on in my life.

You'd be closer to Arizona. That's tornado alley though for sure.

What dies are you using? Mostly the decapping die will also resize. Since you have a dial caliper, have you measured the diameter of your bullets yet?

The bullets are the issue. I've had no trouble with my brass in the past. I went out in the garage a few min ago and found a bunch to measure .352-.355.

Does anyone need a new in box car stereo? I bought this because it had the USB port, and then decided to just renew my Sirius instead (my Jeep gets crap radio reception). DEH-X4800BT - <b>NEW!</b> - CD Receiver with MIXTRAX®, Bluetooth®, Siri® Eyes Free, USB Playback, Android? Music Support, and Pandora® | Pioneer Electronics USA Will sell for $85 because it's past the 30 days to send it back.

Anyone have a Ford Taurus and want a set of Winter tires and wheels?

 

[jedi]

GB where is my snow! What is this warm stuff you are bringing!

 

[2A_Tom]

If the sunshine today was GB's fault, thanks GB.

That reminds me, I need to venture into the basement and find the mount for my radio and see how much an antenna will cost.

Ouch. To be honest, 3 thousandths of an inch, you might be able to handle that with a heavier than normal crimp. Maybe back off of the expander die as well.

 

[gunbunnies]

The warmth was welcome but were not there yet...

Maybe saturday.... Come on 70's....

Cubs come up big with a late inning win!

Because of both high school and fencing club coaching I've passed a couple background checks in the past 12 months, those are in addition to the usual NICS checks

But there is a thing called a SafeSport Coach. I've now passed that as well, as of 4/12/16. So as of now I am a SafeSport certified coach too. The United States Fencing Association required it of me for coaching at the local fencing club (I'm listed as an assistant coach at the fencing club but I rarely do any coaching at the fencing club because I concentrate on armory repairs when I am there). But now its official ... I passed the course so the U.S.F.A. apparently recognizes me as an official SafeSport coach for the Northwest Indiana Fencing Club.

Who is going to throw me a party for this achievement

Cubs come up big with a late inning win!

Go CUBS
