Yeah, I was the same way about phone calls. I've never liked being on the phone. Work kinda forced me to get over it, though. Are there any local mental health resources that aren't exorbitantly expensive? Yes, I know it's ridiculous to expect anything resembling a functional mental health system, but I figured it was worth asking. I've never really had good luck with mental health professionals in any capacity. This uh, includes two different stays in psychiatric facilities. Medications thus far haven't helped at all either.

I had someone that I thought was a "best friend" who I had known about a dozen years blow up at me because I re-posted a thing on FaceBook that I thought was kinda funny from 9gag. She hasn't spoken to me since. I disabled my account on there shortly afterwards. The real friends have stayed in contact. All 3 of them.

I think I'll try my hand at reloading some 9mm tonight...never tried to reload a tapered case before. Hmm I suppose I should dig out and clean some 9mm brass first
What's sad is that I went to Walmart and thought the 100 round box of WWB was overpriced at $27. Then I priced out buying 9mm online, including shipping...the only shit that's cheaper online is Wolf, and some remanufactured shit.

The Hornady seating dies generally have the crimp built-in...I'll play around with it in a bit. I can't reload any more .45 since I broke the large primer seater last night, so it's .38 super or 9mm only now
And I need to buy a bunch more ammo boxes...I really should keep more than a couple hundred rounds of reloads available. |

I've never used Hornady dies. All RCBS and a few Lee here. Maybe I should give them a shot for tapered stuff.

I buy them because I'm used to them, and I already have a Hornady press...why not keep it in the family.
Here's their seating/crimping die manual I just wish the primer feed and power drop weren't so finicky...if I try to rush things I wind up with some really inconsistent drops and every now and again a case won't get primed. I have to take my time, so if I'm lucky maybe I'll get 250 rounds an hour out of it... For that alone I'm considering moving to a Dillon, as people seem to have a lot less problems bulk reloading with them, though I don't know if their powder drop or primer feed is any more consistent

I've averaged out my powder charges, they seem to vary about +/- .2 grains, but I suspect most of that is occasional loss while moving in the press. |

Posted: 5/31/2014 9:06:36 PM EDT
[#19]
My charges will sometimes vary by a half or more of a grain at times
Always under, never over though.
If I go slower charges don't seem to vary as much. It's the primer thing that really annoys me though. I think I might need to adjust the press as it's like the primer feed is shaving something somewhere, and tiny strips of metal keep jamming up the primer ram and feed tray, preventing it from seating fully...I should take a look at that tonight. |

Posted: 5/31/2014 9:07:51 PM EDT

Speed definitely seems to make a difference. I think I'm going to move to a lower-volume powder and see if it helps having less in the case.
That primer issue would be irritating... have you contacted Hornady? |

Why didn't you? Because believe it or not, my stock G19 trigger was better...well, mostly stock. Well, partially stock. I replaced the Gen 4 grooved trigger with a Gen 3 flat trigger. Then I did the .25 trigger job, polished the various surfaces of the trigger, disconnector, and back end of the firing pin... But the G34 felt way, way worse than the G19 did before I polished anything...it was rough and gritty as hell. I always heard G34s and 35s had much nicer factory triggers...that one didn't, so I didn't buy it
Besides...it's too big to carry, and in general if I can't carry it I don't buy it...with some exceptions, like my Deagle™ brand Deagle™, and these WWII relics

You should get rid of some of those worthless antiques Meh, the 34 or 35 are basically 17s with longer barrels and sights, and the magwell's been hogged out a little...and they come with extended slide stops from the factory. Supposedly they come with the 3.5lb connector but it sure didn't feel like it on the G34 I tried. Then again it was a Gen 4..I don't know if Gen 3s feel better. They probably do shoot really well though, with that much slide and barrel mass. Besides - I need to buy new tires this week...it's either the tires or the Glock, and I need the tires more
About the only relic I have that I won't shoot at some point, is a Nambu I even took my Artillery Luger out to the range a couple of times, so I'm not one to shrink away from shooting unusual things..but I am just not comfortable trying that sucker out
