Ok thanks. So public building like say a mall and there is a person shooting but not at me, and I could run opposite way. Do I have to retreat?

Been finding this very interesting. So if I understand this in the simplest way if a guy breaks into the house in a violent manner say kicking in the door, and he is not someone I have invited in then I have the right to use deadly force if I'm in fear of my life and the lives of others...

With the recent thread on reloading I thought some of the members here might find this interesting. This is an article I wrote up explaining the general process in developing a load for your rifle that I have posted on our club website...

After my dad passed away 10 years ago my brother split up is collection. My brother took his 700SPS in 300 RSAUM, but had me work up a load for it. I think it was with 165gr or 180gr of something. Well I found a load and it thundered down range but I absolutely hated to shoot it. Trigger...

Fairly certain that is what you did.

You have all kids of options in the AR15 and AR10. The AR10 can do any of the 308 family cases (243, 260, 7mm-08) along with the 6.5 Creedmore, 6XC, 6mm-250, etc. Just need to get a barrel chambered for what you want and you're off and running. AR-15s same way. The 6mm variants are better...

Pistol brass no, you are loading at a much lower pressure. Again as far as the rifle ammo that is only if you are loading at the top end for longer ranges. If you just plinking around at 100-300 no reason to run stuff hard.

On the super swedge, don't open the primer pockets all the way. Find out the smallest amount you need to seat the primer and go with that. Reason being if you start shooting heavy loads for 600yd or 1000yd primer pockets opening up are usually the first thing that goes on brass. So if you...

No not for pistol cases in carbide dies. Was saying this for your 223 and 308.

Looks nice. Another piece of advice. For case lube get a small spray bottle, some 99% rubbing alcohol and some liquid lanolin. I think the ratio is 4:1 alcohol to lanolin. I made up a big bottle of it, works just as well as the Hornady spray lube and is way cheaper.

Since you're going to be loading .308 in the future and already have .223 there are a lot of powders that work between the two. IMR-4895, H-4895, Varget, N-140, RE-15 are probably the ones that will work the best overall. Unless you're wanting to smoke the smaller .22cal projectiles then H322...

Make sure your primers are seated in all the way. I had an issue where my hand tool didn't do this and the rounds didn't go off 4 years ago while shooting Long Range at Oak Ridge. Same thing happened to a friend this past weekend at our 1000yd match at Atterbury. If you're priming on a press...

Simply put with pistols it isn't a concern as the bullets are short and fat, thus don't need a lot of twist. Rifles yes it makes a difference as the bullets are longer. The only reason it is an issue is because the manufacturers insist on putting slow twist barrels on their rifles. Remington...

Berry's bullets shoot nice for me and can't beat the price.

Often times twist is associated to bullet weight but in reality the longer the bullet the faster the twist you need. Best example is the 185gr Berger Hybrid vs. the 185gr Juggernaught. Both are the same weight but since the hybrid is longer you need a slightly faster twist. When a bullet...

Yes, put the soap and the lemi-shine in the water at the same time. It doesn't take much lemi-shine. All it does is give you that new brass look. To much or if you let it sit for awhile the brass will turn a pinkish color.

On the stainless steal media, a squire or two of dawn detergent and then some lemi-shine. Let them run for about 3 hours. Just make sure all the pins are out of the brass. You can let them air dry or I put mine on a pizza pan in the oven and turn it on 230 for awhile to speed the process up.

I have a couple different powders I load for 45, 40 and 9mm. Red Dot, HP38, Win231. All work. As far as primers when it comes to pistol I just load what I find the cheapest. Wolf/Tula is what I load mainly but also have some Winchester. I just play with pistol don't shoot it competitively.

Caliber Conversion = Cartridge you can load for
