    hey i'm not loading because it's all that cheap- if i spent the time it takes to reload behind my computer at work drawing contours on property, i'd make more than enough on OT to buy factory SS as opposed to what I load.

    Point is I read it was fun and calming to do. It's also nice when you need ammo for a shoot the next day and you can just go into the garage and load it up.

    Also, i wasn't having as good of luck with factory 147 grain as I was hoping for.

    Dutch's #1 AR-15 rule is not to shoot reloads through my guns. Factory only.

    I've had plenty of crappy factory ammo. reloads, when done right, are better than factory, because you control the quality.

    I see rookies do that a lot, shoot with sunglasses or none at all.

    How long have you been shooting?
    The Oakley SI line offers ballistic lenses in their sunglasses. I wear a pair of XX 20's when it's sunny. They are of a "wrap around" design and probably protect my eyes a lot better than most Walmart brand safety glasses.

    SuicideHz, I'm glad to hear you're okay.

    I shoot a LOT of 9mm every year.
    When you consider it cost me $3 a box to shoot my reloads, the savings is considerable.
    With a Dillon press running a powder check die, it's almost impossible to load a squib.


    As for the OP, look closely down the bore for rings like this:



    ETA: That barrel was not mine, it was sent by a customer.
    I have not had a squib in over 5 years (knock on wood).

    Eyepro is such a good idea, it makes you wonder why the .mil didn't think of it sooner!

    Put a TIGHT PATCH on a jag and see if it finds a loose zone where the bullets were stuck.
