  1. He was asking if the update is going to make it so you can no longer stay always logged in.
  2. Do you lube them after wet tumbling? Wet tumbled brass is so clean I get a hell of a workout running it through the sizing die. I've resorted to wet tumbling my brass and then dry tumbling it with a generous amount of polish added to the dry media. This seems to lube the cases up just enough that they run smoothly through the sizing die.
  3. I do. Who knows what size those things are after getting chucked around by UPS/Fedex.
  4. If the stage instructions say shotgun target order matters then it's definitely a P. And when he moved to the left position he probably only needed to engage the one target since he had already engaged the other out of order.
  5. I've not noticed this with mine and I usually don't have anything on the bottom. Just 2 to 3 long guns, 2 pistols and a box up top with all my ammo and other gear. I've never had any issue maneuvering it around or any worry about it tipping over backwards or anything. I actually prefer to keep less weight up front so that it is easier to lift the front up when having to steer.
  6. Are there powders that do have discernable differences over time? I've been reloading for about 9 years now so I don't have any real old powders and I keep them in their original containers with the lids on them.
  7. I'm running one as well. Brake system doesn't do much good but otherwise a great cart. Pro-Tip: It uses a screw to hold the upper tray down while you fold it up. Don't over tighten that or you will spin the ny-lock nut behind it and then it won't loosen up next time. There's no reason for it to be tight at all so that shouldn't be an issue so long as you are aware of it. This just recently happened to me is how I know....
  8. I've been buying Barnstormers from him for a good 3 years now.
  9. I said "almost". I know what you were getting at. I just didn't want someone to get discouraged or confused when they couldn't find the Max PF in the handbook.
  10. I'll help you out with this almost trick question. The Handbook doesn't list a max power factor. Only max velocities. Handguns cannot exceed 1000 fps and rifles cannot exceed 1400 fps. I loaded up some 250gr bullets in 45 Colt with 30gr (by volume) of 777 powder. Out of my 5.5" Vaqueros I averaged 974 fps for a PF of 243.5. From my 18" Uberti 1866 they averaged 1250 fps for a PF of 312.4. So I'd say it's certainly possible to hit those max with 250gr bullets. They make some 300gr 45 colt bullets but I'm not how fast one could get them going. But alas this is off topic of 38/357 reloading data. My friend had good results loading 1.0cc (about 12gr by weight) of 777 powder in 38 spl with a 125gr bullet at 1.48" OAL. Was going 809 fps avg for a PF of 101.2. I imagine some cream of wheat filler was added on top of that to take up the air space.
  11. Must be a regular word in his vocabulary that his phone prefers!
  12. In the case I mentioned above, I can pull the trigger and the hammer will drop. I just can't pull the pump back after unless I push the pump forward with more force. You'll usually hear a click when you push the pump forward letting you know the action unlocked and you can pull the pump back now. If you can't pull the trigger you have something else going on like Ranger Dan mentioned.
  13. For me starting out in 2007 I was making $206 a week before taxes. Probably $160-170 after taxes. I believe a box of fifty 22LR was $1 to $2 plus sales tax then. Just before the 2008 price hikes.
  14. Looks like Newt mentioned this already but I was told by a good cowboy shooting buddy that there is a spring in the end that looks about like a split lock washer at the end of the fore grip. This controls that lock up and it can be modified slightly to reduce the force needed. He said the recoil of live fire generally compresses it and unlocks the gun, but during dry fire it may cause some problems. Once my wife and I got used to the force needed to unlock it during dry fire it has never really bothered us so I've not bothered to modify it. In my wife's case it's probably a good thing to encourage her to run the pump hard during dry fire like she should during live fire to keep her speed up. EDIT: I believe it is part# 16 on this diagram. This is a good break down video of the 97.
