  1. Congratulations and welcome Molassas Moose, Little Gunder and Kalamity Kevin.
  2. I've had this issue with Starline and the cases I've cut down. After talking with Starline, and others, I think there are several factors. First, I believe the .45 ACP resizing dies really over work the cases causing them to become brittle. Second, over crimping over works the brass. Third, I don't bell the cases so much. This allows me to reduce the crimp with the seating of the bullet, and the bullet doesn't jam down inside the case in the magazine tube. Starline suggested heating the cases up to about 450-475 degrees for 15 minutes. These changes seem to have helped, split case have been greatly reduced. Doesn't seem to happen at all any more unless it's cases I haven't heated up.
  3. The Johnson Creek Regulator's have been pretty successful recruiting new members. Last we we ran a ladies only match. The kicker was we also invited new lady shooters to try the sport in their own category. We supplied .22 pistols, .22 rifles and shotguns for the match. They won their share of awards just like the experienced shooters. We wound up with 8 new shooters at our club, including the father and brother of one of the new Buckerettes. By the way, we are running our Annie Oakley Match again in June.
  4. I found a .45 acp sizing die really works the brass. I switched to a .45 Colt sizing die. I also use a roll crimp. I never had much luck with Titegroup. Right now I'm using N320. I shoot 160 gr. RNFP from Scarlet out of both pistols and rifle.
  5. Yes, I had to obtain the latch that locks and unlocks the barrel from them a couple of months ago.
  6. Recently found an Uberti stock on Ebay. Might be worth taking a look.
  7. I work with antler and bone quite a bit. If make something where strength is important, I like to use a hardening agent. Minwax makes one the works fine. Antler will deteriorate with age and can be brittle. When drilling, I use a respirator. If I am adding something to the antler, (for example a screw knife), I like to set it in a good epoxy.
  8. Sequestered. Usually. Not always. If an attorney requests witnesses be sequestered, the judge will grant.
  9. It would be worth checking with Outlaw Gambler.
  10. Title says it. OK if the LOP has been shortened.
  11. I received an email tonight from someone identifying himself as Troy Smith. The email address was fromtrsmith511@gmail.com and a phone number of 707-247-5625. The email was sanitized with very little information, but obviously from an ad I posted here quite awhile ago. The sender wanted me to respond by phone, but responded by email. The return message had some issues. I googled the telephone number and one of the returns indicated the number was reported as being involved in a Zelle scam. Didn't receive a response once I asked where in Michigan they were located. Be careful out there.
  12. I saw an MSRP of $1279. The Limited Edition is $3499. But yes only holds 9 rounds of .44 Mag. Nice to see other companies putting out products, but at this point, I don't really see is as being a competitor for the 66s and 73s.
  13. If you are referring to when you slam it closed, don't fire a round, then try to open (like when practicing), slightly push the forend forward then pull it back. When firing a live round, recoil does this for you.
  14. My own experience is that my lead level was over twice of the subject in the study. I believe that the reloading created minimal exposure. I started wearing a respirator style mask when shooting at indoor ranges and began wet tumbling. Other precautions include washing in cold water after shooting and getting clothing directly into the wash. My lead level is now under 7. I had my wife have her lead level checked at her last physical. Her level was negligible.
