STATEHOUSE FEB 13TH - merged threads

Recommended Posts

When I heard the gentleman earlier speaking about reloaded ammo, and the Chairman said he didn't hear the question, that was when I knew they'd already made up their minds and are just patronizing the testimony at this point. As if I had any hope that they were actually going to listen.

Don't be defeatist maks there is always hope.

 

I had hope. I had some after the rally, and I had some this morning. It's just about gone after this. All the well-written arguments and testimony in the world won't end their crusade of misinformation and their chokehold on this state. Christie is our last line of defense here. If this is the best we can hope for in this state, I'm getting the hell out the first chance I get.

I have 2 BILs who are retired in NC.

 

I think NC will be an easier sale to my wife than Texas.

 

 

 

(I don't see how Christie can sign most of this unless he wants his time as NJ Governor to be the peak of his career.)

my question is what happens next? if they pass today, and pass in the full vote. we hope christie veto's them. If he does, we need to make sure we use our votes in november. if he does not veto then what do we do? sue the state?

 

After the Assembly, I believe they must be approved by the State Senate? I've only been in this POS state for 2 1/2 yrs so I'm not too familiar with the process here.

I was there, we spent 5 hours standing out in the cold because the building reached capacity and they wouldnt let anybody else in unless somebody came out and you took their place.

 

We had a little mini rally of our own while outside, a speaker and microphone were brought out for those who wished to share stories, opinions, and their prepared speeches.

 

 

From what I understood was going in side was a complete circus, they actually had the audicity to say - this is taking to long, we are going to sign off on everything and pass it, then you guys can talk..... COMPLETE WTF

 

Kangaroo Court !

 

 

This was the OVERFLOW of people left outside in the cold after we filled up the main hearing room and 2 or 3 additional over flow rooms in the building..

They could rush this through in the dark of the night, like New York did.

 

But the governor then has 45 days to sign them, veto them or if he does nothing, they become law. I don't expect Christie to do anything with them until he gets the report from his NJ SAFE task force.

    • Single stage will have a tighter tolerance, and you have more control over the process.  Progressives are for bulk range fodder. Every experienced reloader gave me the same advice when I was getting into the hobby, start with single stage, so you can truly understand the reloading process and what you have to do on your end to make great ammo.  Once you have mastered that, then you can think about a progressive. If you want to add a bit of convenience to your single stage reloading, a turret press (rotates the dies, not the shell plate) is probably better suited.  It is still effectively a single stage operation, but you don't have to keep removing and remounting dies. I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Whatever press you get, it will have to be secured to a work surface in some way.  I bought an inexpensive 20"x20" work surface from HF to permanently mount my shotshell press on.  It is mounted very sturdy and durable with the added 1/2" hardwood plank and extra big washers. If you haven't already, you should check out some of the reloading channels on YT.  Ultimate Reloader is one of my faves, but there are scores of others with great advice.  See it in action.
    • The 550 is not a true progressive as it does not auto index, right? I'm in the process of selling myself on a XL750. For a starter press, you can't go far wrong with a Lee Classic Turret. It is cheap, auto indexes, and swapping calibers is easy. NB. If you go for a manually indexed press and work multiple cartridges at once, be particularly careful to monitor the powder drop stage to avoid no powder or double charges. With an auto indexing press the risk is way lower.
    • The Dillon 550's are amazing machines.  Plenty fast, and while there are faster machines in the Dillon lineup, the trade-off is that the faster ones take longer to change between calibers, and the caliber conversion kits are more expensive.   You can use the 550 as a single stage press, one cartridge in the shell plate at a time, rotating between the stations after each handle pull.  It's a good way to start out and gain experience. I've got a single stage press as well, used for larger rifle cartridges and the occasional oddball handgun cartridge that I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon...but it sounds like those use cases aren't in your immediate future.    
    • Why is the single stage an advantage exactly? Could I not build them on the progressive? 
    • My suggestion is to get a single stage too.  This way it's easier to build loads as for progressives I run two lee pro 1000s ones set up for large pistol primers and one for small.
