Fair point, I could always sell it... I may have to reconsider

As a machinist I have to agree that without proper tools, knowledge and experince jigs and fixtures are your best bets at creating something functional.

My trade your learn to buy a quality tool once. Don't skimp and cut corners. You will regret it. Buy the quality tool use it and set it back for another project.

Thanks for the insight guys, I'm leaning toward the jig more and more. maybe in a month when I've saved a bit, I'll place the order for it. Ares Armor is having a hayday slamming the ATF, I think they could use the income. Glad I have found a way to contribute  On another note, I was digging through an old footlocker a friend of mine gave me, and Lo and Behold realized I had a fully functional and lovingly packed set of reloading equipment. Almost every tool I could need to set up a single stage reloading bench. For free...

Nice, if you find powder buy it I cant seem to find anything around here so online is my only option and it comes with a 28 dollar hazmat fee but it is still worth it I just buy in bulk when I can.

Oddly enough, every time I've gone into Sportsman's warehouse they've had some in stock. usually the huge container of it, but they have it. everyone buys out the smaller jugs quick fast and in a hurry though.
Primers too, I thought those were getting hard to find

Primers have come around in the last couple of months up here the only hard to come by stuff is powder in any amount.

Hmmmm maybe we should start a reloading trading system everyone buys what they can for those who cant then trades for what they need.

So can somebody give me some insight into the whole first focal plane vs second focal plane for tactical optics? Especially the 2.5-10 power scopes.
