presure sign?
« on: July 30, 2009, 08:15:20 PM »
My FIL just bought a m1 garand and shot it for the first time today. I was looking at his empty brass which is worthless to reload as the rims are all torn up from the extractor? and the primers look odd to me, the dent looks kinda like a splash? there is a ridge all the way around the dent? it really looked odd and he commented that he was haveing feeding troubles so I was wondering if he has pressure issues?
nuke the gray whales for jesus!

Yes x2.  His chamber is either over sized a bit, or he is shooting hot handloads. 
Either way that is a recipe for disaster.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Garands are known for having excessive head space problems. The rifle should be checked out by a smith.
