      Progressive presses. Who has what and how do you like it?

      Would it be a problem for me to come check out someone's setup once I get back to MD in late May? I would like to see one first person before I take the plunge, youtube only shows me so much. I live in the Perry Hall/White Marsh area but wouldn't have an issue riding around the beltway if I had to.

      Peacemaker National Upcoming Events

      Anyone planning on heading to the June or later F-class or long range challenge matches? I wanna go watch and hopefully meet some of you fine folks since I can't currently afford an F-class gun.

      I like your idea pinecone. That's kinda what I was thinking about doing later on. I'll have a few hundred rounds of my good long range .308 ammo ready to go so it should last a little while. There aren't many places I can really get out there with it in the mid-Atlantic anyways (500+, yeah...

      Well I guess that settles that. Dillon it is. I tend to get real picky with my long range ammo so it's nice to know I can still operate it as a single stage press if I want to. Thanks again for all the input.

      looking to start on 30-06

      I run 4064 or Benchmark in my .308 and .30-06. Both of which are M700's and they group very consistently. I shot a .731 group out of my .308 last Friday and was shooting 4" groups at 300 yards with the .30-06 last summer. I've also used BL-C(2) which seems pretty consistent. The only downside is...

      Progressive presses. Who has what and how do you like it?

      The name is pretty much in the title. I have been reloading for a while with a buddy of mine and I finally decided to get my own set up. I'm pretty sure I want to go the progressive route since I'll be reloading mostly 45 ACP, 9mm, .308, .223, and .30-06 in order from most to least. I'll...

      So I need a new compensator/flash hider.

      Yeah I want one that's quieter, that damn Smith Enterprises is brutal. Thanks for the heads up Casey, since one day I would like to put a can on it.

      So I need a new compensator/flash hider.

      Alright so I plan on shooting some coyotes this fall with my AR, the downside is I put a Smith Enterprises comp on it when I built it. Needless to say it is horribly loud and just unpleasant to shoot in general (although it is fun antagonizing others sometimes). What I would like is a similar...

      I need me a MDS coffee mug and sticker for my new truck.

      East Coast Military Vehicle Rally

      I remember having one of those Surefire Hellfighter lights on our .50 cal in Iraq. It was like turning the sunshine back on. Something like 7,000 lumens I think. Man was it cool.

      Vltor VIS with 300 BLK

      Has anyone put one of these together yet? I tried searching for one but couldn't find much. Would that barrel interfere with the VIS or are they pretty much completely interchangeable with the 5.56mm barrels? Thanks in advance.

      Walter's gun chambers

      That's where my old man picked up his Sig P226 and probably a few other guns. I remember going in there when I was little and just wandering and checking out all the cool stuff. Kinda reminds me of Hendershot's up in Hancock if anyone has ever been in there.

      Hoodies and Sweaters

      I'd be down for another one. My last one shrunk too much. Oops.

      Optimum carry postion for in fight access

      I don't, but I probably should. I carry mine hammer down so I just have some snap caps that I practice drawing, cocking, and dry firing with in the mirror.

      Optimum carry postion for in fight access

      I carry my 1911 in line with the seams on my jeans with a slight forward cant in my Crossbreed Supertuck. Seems to work best for me, granted I've never had to draw it in actual defense but I do practice my draw at home and at the range. I just need to get some decent spare mag pouches.
