    Would love to join the group.. are the meetings only once/month on 2nd wednesdays, or do people meet up informally on their own time?

    Look forward to meeting you all soon
    We meet once a month, but are always available for question or help. PM me your email address and I will add you to the next email update.

      Suggestion for next meeting... Interesting tools or reloading related finds.

      For example, I recently found a spent case which has a very obvious Glock bulge and another which appears to have been fired in a pistol it was not designed for. Our monthly swap is a good time as well.

      Thoughts?

        Funny you said that... I am going to start a new program (I plan on putting this in an email this week). I have started a "prize" stash. My plan is as follows:

        1. Members make a suggestion for a meeting topic.
        2. If your topic for the meeting is chosen, prize is won.

        Easy peezee!

        Sounds like Dr. Darrin has submitted the first idea.

          I'm hoping to try out some new loads Saturday. And I'll be solo, so if anyone else is bored let me know.

            Actually, I just installed a new recoil spring and SRT kit in my P229 last night that I was planning on checking it out saturday morning. I'll PM you.

              Where are you going? I would love to work it into my schedule!
              I have done so much with so little for so long that now I can do almost anything with nothing at all.

                  How about repurposing brass. IE 45-90 to 45-70 or .223 to 300 blk. Anyone done?

                      Just and FYI... I am most likely going to move this month's meeting to Thursday (5/15) night instead of Wednesday. My daughters birthday is the 14th and I could see my self getting into a lot of trouble for missing it.

                      I will include this in the email.

                        I've done 308 to 7mm-08 recently. Not a big deal. I've never annealed cases.

                                This could be interesting. I like the Giraud annealer but not the price. I'd need to see a big benefit like I did with the Giraud trimmer.
