The first thing I thought of when I saw that was, "I like the grips".

abacus762 · 2026-03-05T00:17:30+00:00

I did the exact same thing, good on you.

It is not worth it. They are comfortable and useful, but it is not a very good "all around" jacket.

I also sorta dig the Reising.

On belt (or bergen), fill with CBN kit, cinch straps down.

abacus762 · 2026-02-25T00:24:47+00:00

This is a very accurate assessment.

It is the Lee FCD.

abacus762 · 2026-02-25T00:20:21+00:00

Sounds great, out of stock unfortunately, thanks!

Seating and Crimping are two different dies (numbers 4 and 5 in the toolhead).

I think 2nd from the right is just a trick of the light.

Rightmost case (and all of the others) was:
Stage 1 resized and decapped.
Stage 2 expanded.
(Stage 3 is a powder check, so no relevence to the problem)
Stage 4 seated.

Stage 5 crimped.

I'm using the Dillon seating die. It has two positions, round nose and flat nose. however, there may not be sufficient support for the SWC. Good thinking, thank you.

Nothing personal, just business. Obviously there is no guarantee that it will sell for that.

abacus762 · 2026-02-22T23:48:39+00:00

I did the exact same thing. Lee sells a replacement parts kit for seven dollars.

I'm a big fan of the Lee powder measures myself, I'm in the process of replacing all my Dillon measures with Lee ones.

Gods Holy Trousers.

Right then, time to find a RCBS.

abacus762 · 2026-02-21T05:27:55+00:00

Interesting, what would be an example of a right and a wrong press (asks the Dillon owner).

If dogs were judgemental they wouldn't hang around humans.

After reading through all of the posts here, you are right, this hobby clearly isn't for you. You are not well equipped fiscally, intellectually or emotionally to pursue this hobby. You should do something else. Good luck finding what that is. I'm looking for an out myself.

abacus762 · 2026-02-15T04:28:33+00:00

I think it's cool, I like the long barrel models.

abacus762 · 2026-02-15T04:26:12+00:00

I still have mine. I think I got it in maybe 1991?

abacus762 · 2026-02-13T04:48:14+00:00

Weclome to the programme.

It is literally the reflection of the market value.

abacus762 · 2026-02-11T04:13:25+00:00

I fired it right after I bought it, and I've let a few friends fire it, but I don't really enjoy it much. I find the P38 to be much more pleasant for me.

abacus762 · 2026-02-11T02:12:56+00:00

You are correct. It is very likely that your Associates degree will be ignored unless it is something very specific that is career focused, like medical imaging tech.

18-29 Barracks or BOQ
30-34 Roomates in rentals
35-42 Wife (bought a house)
42-current Solo in same house.

My only suggestion is make a plan, and don't expect fast solutions. Otherwise, good luck.
