    Sir, you failed twice in your answer to me.

    One - I agree with the premise of repealing such laws, which can lead to repealing similar unconstitutional statutes, for instance, I support GOA and FPC financially in their campaign to overturn NFA 34, or at least the parts rendered moot by the BBB. 

    Second, - you did not ask me if I had, indeed, contacted USPS about the proposed regulation, which is done. I was pointing out the trickle down of information to the local post office was lacking. 

    Having stated this, I will back out of this thread and wish everyone an excellent day in freedom. 

     


    Glad you’ve taken the time! I’m encouraging everyone to do the same.

     

    My most important point was that so many of those who have posted gripes about the Postal Service could have expended that effort in sending the requested email and been doing something positive and productive! Both my wife and my son have also done this in spite of their own dissolutionment with the Postal Service.

     

    Thanks again for sending that email!! It was no failure on my part by you having done so!

     The pile driver was so loud I never installed the one I ordered and sold to a friend. 
     

    Hugs!

    😜Yeah! The Pile Driver IS loud! I don’t mind it so much for a couple of cartridges. I’m ‘bout half deaf anyway. For a big project like breaking down all those Pyrodex loaded .38s, I’ll break out my headphones and listen to some good music like I do when I ride my stationary bike! A couple hundred rounds ain’t something I want to tackle with the hammer type puller!

  3. I bought the Pile Driver because I had two of the hammer type and they were slow, tedious, and they started fouling up afer a few short uses.

     

    The Frankford is quick, simple, and doesn’t require me to take it apart and put it back together for each cartridge!  I can cycle through a bunch of cartridges if I need to and collect the components when I’m through!


    I can dump my catch bucket into a sifter to separate the powder and bullets when I’m done!

     

    In a case where I have a bad batch or need to break down someone else’s ammo, (I recently received a large quantity of .38 ammo that was loaded with Pyrodex) I can get it done quickly and without a bunch of extra steps.

     

    I caught it on sale and it was less than the price of two of the hammer style from the major manufacturers.  Given the aggravation factor, it has paid for itself after the dozen or so duds I’ve collected in the past ten seasons. This batch of .38s will just be gravy!! 😜

  4. Some of the longer or larger grain powders don’t meter well or they try to “bridge”, giving inaccurate drops.
     

    I bought my first Chuckwalla vibrating attachment a couple of years ago and two different powders that I had trouble with became much easier to handle. 
     

    I’ve since acquired two more and it’s a clean installation and they have frequency controls that allow for varying conditions and consistencies. 
     

    With these thee, I can attach one or another of these to every powder measure I have, (they offer three sizes with adapters to fit more than one diameter powder reservoir) except for the Lee Load All II, (I still have to tap on it with a knuckle to make sure the powder or shot drop right) and I’m tickled with the way they work.
