Re: People to fill site.

Just a thought: how about 500 pieces of "common caliber" rifle/pistol brass, or 100 pieces of (name your cartridge)? I'd pitch in to help find or fund a weird wildcat or hard to find brass.

I was supposed to be helping a friend move tonight, but we were both burned out from the week. My couch needed some love though, so it worked out.

Re: CFE Pistol

I'm a long ways from experienced, but I do use CFE Pistol for my 9mm and .45. It seems to be a pretty consistent and stable powder, but I have noticed that it does get a bit sooty sometimes. With my .45, it seemed to be a little dirtier, and there have been a few times where I have found some unburn...
