She usually shoots her full size xdm, so the smaller grip was new. That sucks . . . but it's a lesson we all typically need to learn only once. Please teach her a proper grip, with both thumbs on the right side of the gun. This will work no matter what size the frame is, and will help her manage the recoil as well. Yes, definitely! |

My powder valley order showed up with 8#'s CFE223, 3k Winchester SR primers, and 2k Hornady 55gr Jacketed BT. I'm a little surprised they were in unmarked clear bags. Also the base of the bullet has an area where the jacket leaves some of the lead exposed... Is that normal?
This motivated me to come up with a non perminate way to mount my press on the bench that the old man and I built for automotive work centering around the vise. Since its quite stout my solution was take a 2x6 about 12" long and clamp it in the vise horizontally. This provided plenty of grip for the vise and lots of surface area to glue and screw a plywood board on top. The plywood was notched so that the bolts for the press would go threw both. I'm still working on another portable solution for my powder thrower, beam scale, brass trimmer, and brass prep tool.

Interesting setup with the vise! Hopefully it's strong enough.
Yeah, it's normal for FMJ bullets to have a small area of exposed lead on the bottom. As for the packaging, I bet that they got the bullets in boxes of 6,000 and repackaged them for the smaller quantity that you bought. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Won't know for sure till I full length size my 30-06, but so far I can't budge it using my body weight.

Installed a new set of Truglo TFX Pro sights on a G19. They're not the most aesthetically pleasing sights, but damn I like the brightness and contrast! The tritium glows brightly, too.
By the way, if you're in the market for a good sight-pushing tool, I can't recommend this one enough: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Handgun-Sight-Pusher-Tool-Universal-for-1911-glock-sig-springfield-and-others/162774304090 Why I like it:

 on this sight tool. I bought one about 2 months ago and everything G4L said is 100% true. I was looking at the MGW Sight Pro before this one but at ~$300 bucks Im damned glad I found and bought this one instead. Easy to use and built stout._________________ MadPick wrote: Without penetration data, the pics aren't of much use.

Have had one of those sight pushers for years and it works great on everything I've needed it to. _________________ Jay The Right to Buy Weapons Is the Right to Be Free |

Put this paracord sling on my Shockwave. Nothing too fancy but it's comfy and I like the choice of the "thin blue line." I also tried "eyesighting" it the way Hickock does on Youtube and it worked fantastic. No more belly shooting for me!
