    That looks very nice. Pretty sure I'll get one eventually if I ever get into long range shooting

    I've practiced my draw and am convinced I have concealed it such that it looks like I'm reaching for my wallet and then BAM, gun in hand!
    I'm impressed at the length of that post!

    Yes, the ankle holster has definite drawbacks. I'm finding that most of my clothing really isn't cut for a conceal carry holster. In cooler weather, it'll be easier.

    Yeah... Well... If you're a perfectionist like I am, this will help out greatly. Plus with this I'll be able to just press a button and it'll spit out my preferred amount for .308 or .223.

    Very true, I'm a perfectionist too and noticing that my Lee Auto Powder dropper is starting to wear in and is dropping larger charges than before. What used to get me 3.8gr (exactly, well, plus/minus 0.04gr max) is now close to 4.0gr. But, I'm not that worried, they're pistol plinking rounds and 4.0gr was the second most accurate charge that I found so it's still good ammo lol

    My measure is pissing me off... It had shipping oil in it and it's causing the powder to get bunged up... I thought I got it all cleaned out but I missed some I guess....

    What is most of your clothing? I used to wear slightly tighter cut shirts (i have the type of body that needs a medium shirt for the shoulders, a large for the length, and a small for the waist - most of the time a medium is good but tight in the shoulders), but have recently found some polos that fit much looser all around and allow more ease in concealing my G23.

    Ah, that sucks. Didn't you just buy an RCBS kit? I'm using Lee everything so far (except the scale I guess) and so far, its all been great! And are you solely reloading rifle? If so, weighing each charge could definitely be more beneficial, but pistol is a little overkill and I'm of the opinion that its CDO, in alphabetical order like it should be!

    For work, I wear suit pants and either a cami or a cowl neck top with a jacket top.

    Outside of work is much less of a problem, because I dress in don't-see-me clothes (jeans, tshirts, etc).

    The major problem is that most clothes are made from pretty thin material.

    That's a very impressive measure!

    Ah, so you're a woman. Checkout some videos by Falia Photography: http://www.youtube.com/user/faliaphotography

    She has a lot of holster reviews and shows them in various outfits.


    Are you more worried about printing or the shirt riding up and revealing the pistol?
