Redding Introduces Micrometer Adjusting Profile Crimp Dies

Cortland, NY…….New for 2015, Redding has introduced a pair of innovative Micrometer Adjusting Profile Crimp Dies for the two most popular revolver cartridges used in competitive shooting today. These are top adjusting with no need to remove the die and reposition the lock ring like traditional crimp dies when setting a proper crimp.

High volume, progressive reloaders have struggled for years with the realities of case variation and the resulting difficulties in obtaining a uniform crimp. Case length is not the only variable, as case neck wall thickness also impacts where the case intersects the die’s tapered crimping surface.

The process of traditional taper crimp die adjustment is generally both time consuming and imprecise due to the 1 in 14″ thread pitch coupled with the need to reposition the lock ring after each adjustment. Read more

Primos Proof Cameras

FLORA, MS – When did getting a good picture in the woods get so complicated? We think it started with the word “with”… as in with too many features and with too many buttons. So we’re making trail cameras better by building them “without” — without complications and without compromises. Because sometimes the only advanced feature you really need is reliability.

The new Proof Cameras are built for one purpose: To give hunters the most reliable, most simple-to-use camera money can buy with the functions that really matter and none of the extras that don’t. Rather than adding features that don’t get used by hunters, yet cause needless complications and compromises, we designed Proof Cams to help hunters get the scouting results they need “Without A Doubt.”

With three models to choose from, the Proof Camera 01, 02 and 03 are all designed to simply take photos, HD video or HD Time Lapse. Choosing your preference is easy with illuminated sliding switches. All Primos Proof Cameras also have a circular LED alignment to better light the field of view, and are powered by eight AA batteries. They are extremely easy to use, but also offer hunters the scouting technology required to know what animals are on their property.

The Proof Camera 01 takes 10MP images and features 36, 850nM Low Glow LEDs to offer a nighttime range out to 70 feet. With a .7-second trigger time, and 3-second recovery rate, this camera is a serious performer that won’t break the bank.

SAF Seeks Contempt Against DC For Stall in Wrenn Case

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation is asking the federal court to force the District of Columbia to abide by a May 18 ruling requiring the city to drop its requirement to show a “good reason” before issuing concealed carry permits, or find the city in contempt.

The request comes after SAF learned the city is denying permit applications for 90 days to “review” the order by Judge Frederick J. Scullin. SAF is noting in its new complaint to the court that, “Since ‘good reason’ and ‘proper reason’ no longer need be investigated, there is no need for the process to take even 90 days, let alone 180 or more days. Nor does the Court’s order allow for a 90-day ‘review’ period. The order itself is unambiguous. If Defendants do not understand it, they should have moved immediately for clarification. In any event, the Court’s order is supposed to be in effect now. All elements of contempt are plainly established: “(1) there was a court order in place; (2) the order required certain conduct by the defendant; and (3) the defendant failed to comply with that order.” Read more
