I’m keeping my MP5K braced for traveling between states and the Geissele has been registered already. Part of me is contemplating building out an SBR 8.6BLK but I’m still on the fence. Any suggestions?
uhh, it sounds like your brass isn't being resized good . even without a crimp you should not be able to move a projectile at all with finger pressure.
What size casting did you use, was it 45-70 specific? 45-70 is .458 caliber, I'm assuming you're doing your own soft castings, you might want to go as high as .459 or even .460

I like to heatsoak my molds in the lead for a minute so they're fully expanded, makes everything more consistent and tighter. I've never done bullets for cartridges before though, just muzzleloader slugs
those shitheads were all over the boogalo boys non-sense and posting the retarded tannerite dog and plate check memes under obama and biden. now we finally win and they're all pussified. fuckem for being so flighty.
Honestly sounds like an issue with your cast bullets, I'd caliper them just to make sure. For what its worth I generally use a Lee Hand Loader for my .45-70 and I've never had an issue with crimping.
I mean they are not entirely wrong about the ATF deciding to change their mind (see Lightning Links), but this time it's not like anything is being registered.
Hell, if anything this might lead to a similar situation as to what happened when the M1 Carbine got sold via the CMP, so many get out into circulation that the government has to accept them as legal.
i don't think they're wrong, it is a fragile loophole. yeah, the ATF themselves can't change the tax back, but it's not like there's a shortage of politicians who want gun control, and the ATF isn't going to have qualms about enforcing again, regardless of efficacy. people just don't want to get in trouble, and i don't think you can fault them for that. it's reasonable for people to be scared of the law changing again, and if it does; they're now felons violating federal law. most people don't want to risk that. so while, big picture, the NFA is theoretically dead, there still exists risk for individuals.
Me Niether. I usually use Hornady custom line dies. All you do is screw the die in until you feel the crimping shoulder hit the case mouth, and then turn it in how ever much more you need to get the crimp you desire. very easy. crimping is about the only step of reloading I've not fucked up at least once.
I don't mean to vaguebook, but the probability of the feds knowing I used THC recently is 102% with a 2% margin of error. Explaining further would be the powerlevel to end all powerlevels.

So either you answered truthfully during a Federal employment screening or you’re on their radar and should save your money for a lawyer in the future.
There’s no longer a clear cut timeframe as to when answering no is truthful or not.
Current definition (27 CFR 478.11)
ATF rewrote this by interim final rule effective on January 22, 2026:
• Occasional or one-off use, no ongoing pattern: "No" fits the definition.
• Former regular user who has genuinely quit: "No" fits once you've actually stopped.
• Paused to buy a gun and plans to resume: This is the trap. "Ceased" isn't a clock. A short break with intent to keep using still reads as "actively engaged," and that's the fact pattern that gets prosecuted. This is my reading, not a rule ATF spells out.
• Old one-year markers: The prior rule inferred current use from a drug conviction or failed test within the past year. That one-year benchmark is no longer codified, but it still shapes how many examiners and prosecutors think about recency. One legal explainer says NICS still flags documented use from the prior 12 months, so expect possible denials for about a year after a recorded incident, whatever your own answer.

The less it's discussed the lower the possibility of it being an issue. Unfortunately, stoners cannot go without telling absolutely everyone that they smoke weed erryday so you're pretty fucked.
