djg0770 now you've done it. You given away the bouncers secret weapon. We used to check for fake ID's that way, since most kids had no idea the letters and numbers stood for anything.

Shouldn't this be considered an invasion of US? I pretty sure that an invasion is cause to call out the military. Get US soldiers and marines down there and see how long it will be before the the drug cartels don't come to the border anymore.

This is a good sight that has reviews and tips for many different presses. I found the videos to be really helpful. http://ultimatereloader.com/ The lyman is good. ABC's of reloading is another good guide. It goes into more of the whys than hows. Hodgdon, Winchester and IMR have a combined website for load data http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp Alliant http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/index.aspx This is a link to a database that contains many different loads http://sourceforge.net/projects/reloadersrfrnce/ Things you will need: A good press (your choice I have a hornady lnl but have heard good things about the dillons) A good scale that measures in grains. A cheap tumbler to get started (Harbor Freight sells one for ~50 bucks) with media I use Walnut shells (Lizard Bedding from pet smart) A caliper for measuring length A case trimmer to trim the brass Inertial bullet puller Primer flip tray Most other things you can get as you need them Take your time, double check (from different sources) your load data, be safe and have some fun

Have seen it done many times. They all used pancake compressors. Be real careful with the "ink". Most of the places I saw used a washable paint. Don't know the manufacturer but I would figure it's extremely mild since its used on little kids faces.

I have an 226 Elite in 40. It is sweet. There is very little felt recoil as it is a big gun. Firing 9mm almost feel like a .22 off of this platform.

The military does a great job of trying to make things easier for the families of deceased members of the military active or retired. Recently my brother's father-in-law passed away. He was a master sergeant in WW2. At the funeral, Fort Dix sent over a team to assist with the ceremony. It meant a great deal to my sister-in-law and brother. I wish they would only have to do this for retired veterans who die of old age.

I store my reloads in MTM plastic cases and put a label in with the rounds with the reload info. While reorganizing my ammo storage, I opened one of my storage cases and there was no label in the box. So being cautious, I pulled one of the bullets and measured the charge. Found it was 4.8 grains. That just didn't sound right since I load 6.5 grains of Winchester WSF for my 230 FMJs. So I pulled another one and it was 4.8 grains also. Now I'm thinking I somehow screwed up the load and didn't catch it, which got me questioning the 400 rounds of .40 I just completed. Just as I was working up to the joyous task of pulling the remaining 98 bullets, a light bulb went off in my head. I didn't load these rounds. They were factory made bulk American Eagle rounds. :doh: I just used the storage cases to hold the rounds which explains why no reload label. Any one else have one of these moments?

Mil-Spec is US military specifications "M193 is the US military spec for ammo that is loaded with a 55gr FMJ "boat tail" bullet. M193 ammo must meet other US military specs as well regarding muzzle velocity, etc. M193 used to be the standard round used by the military, but is has been replaced with the 62gr M855 as the standard round." I've used these guys for handgun bullets. Good prices and good service. http://www.goldenwestbrass.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1

PM sent (I think )

See what happens if you get pulled over in a 65 MPH zone that's also a construction zone (also known as route 80) for doing 55.

Ramsey Outdoors in Ledgewood has them.

No, but they were stored in these: I keep about half my ammo in military cans, the other half in a cool dry place. +1

I think is was the illegal alien who got stabbed.

Anyone know what stores do this? Dicks? I think that if a bunch of us go to these stores ask for a couple of hundred dollars worth of ammo and then walk away when they break out the book, they might start to get a message. Not saying to do anything against the law just against "Corporate" policy.

Here's a list of NJ FFL's not all are in North Jersey viewtopic.php?f=8&t=437

So how does the whole hollow point discussion apply to the large majority of us? As most of use do not have a carry permit or are LEOs, carrying any gun loaded with any ammo in it gets us on the deep doo doo list. The only place we reasonably would use hollow points, in earnest, is at our homes in a self defense, and as far as I know hollow points are legal at home.

One of these so I can start filling up

Here is my Guard Dog NOT :mrgreen:

Entirely too much Shoot handguns only but usually 300 per gun :roll:

In for 1

Um "Story" is a year old.

Yeah but when multiple retailers are in the same ball park, the manufacturer is driving the price.

Are these guys on crack? How do they justify $20/50 for reloads?

Ramsey Outdoors in Ledgewood has Federal AE 250 bulk packs for 120. Not the greatest price ($24/50) but its good ammo, they have it and no shipping charges.
