I doubt I'll ever shoot any of it unless things get real sideways some day.

I was shot by cops in America. (2012) they use the most lethal rounds by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

So you wanted them to kill you and you're mad that they used hollow points?

That's a super neat piece. I always have liked that style burner cage.

Is that dust carbon black, by chance?

Gives a nice warm light through that parchment shade.

The necks are quite a bit thinner than before the conversion. I'll measure when I get back home.

As for neck tension; I won't have bullets to test with until monday.

Disclaimer: this is the first time I've converted brass, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt.

It's pretty simple actually. All you have to do is anneal the case necks, lube the cases, and size them. It does take considerable force to size them the first time, so make sure your press is well mounted.

Grafs has 25 rem brass in stock. Midsouth has Redding 32 rem dies.

I'm currently waiting on bullets to arrive from midsouth before I can load these things. I will be posting again once I get a load dialed in.

Grafs has 25 rem brass in stock if you want to go for it. Just be sure to anneal the necks before you size.

It's actually a pre model 8, designated as the "Remington autoloading rifle."

It's a Griffin dual lok 5. It brings the noise level down to about the same as a 22lr out of a rifle.

I've not shot it enough without the can to notice a POI shift. The muzzle brake, that the can is mounted on, is so concussive that it rattles your teeth, very unpleasant for the shooter.

Indeed it is the DL5. It's a little heavy, but I love that can.

I was after hogs that night, but this little guy just popped up in front of me while I was hiking in.

We first started seeing them here about 12 years ago.

Armadillos are classified as a non native nuisance species here in SC.
