Once again, Liberals focus on inanimate objects (guns), instead of getting to the real source of the problem. This story is from The NYT. Is anyone surprised?

I sure hope so!!!!!!

How about a Battlestar Galactica rifle?

I'm who initially questioned the reloading price for .223... A year ago, it made zero sense to me to reload .223 or 9mm, as the case prices for live ammo wasn't much more than reloading. In 2019 my costs were roughly as follows: 1k live .223 was $275. Reloading 1k .223 was $220/1k + 5hrs of time 1k live 9mm was $180. Reloading 1k 9mm was $135 + 4hrs of time With the current prices of live ammo, reloading the above calibers is something I'm now doing. I wasn't trying to start trouble, but 16cpr to 22cpr is a huge % difference. I was wondering how he was doing it for so cheap. FWIW, the primers and powders have been in my man cave for several years, as I load .300AAC, 6.5 Grendel and .357 Sig. The only thing I have to buy is projectiles and they aren't too far off from what they used to be.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd It looks like I killed another thread, lol? ~R

Zinc, the enemy of all bullet casters.

Great idea. When I transport my guns over to a friend to store for me, who gets arrested? Me for taking firearms to an unauthorized location or him for possession of firearms he doesn't own? Probably both of us, right?

I want to take a safety class. Any suggestions in the Bridgewater, Warren, Union, Cranford, area? I'd drive further if it was a great class with great instructors. Gaining good knowledge is key for me.

yea, i aquired a lot of stuff in the past less than a year of getting started.. Theres plenty more things not even in those pics.. The press is a Lyman T-Mag turret.. Looks a little odd with my MEC 650 right behind it.. Theres some details on another thread i started for my homemade press mount. Duh... Im smarter than that; i should have thought of this on my own right... I'll google up and look over the NFPA guidelines you suggest.. Thanks for the tip @USRifle30Cal and for looking out for us newb's...

Switching to depleted uranium? Not many things approach the density of lead.

be careful. we've been phasing out of using lead weights for over a year now. i can't buy lead wheel weights for the shop anymore.

We prefer nerds, thank you.

Yes, you can even find people on Craigslist and other local marketplaces who are looking to get rid of lead.

This is why I have always allowed the Lord to take care of watering my lawn.

I just got the approval email from the NJSP. Here is what it says: Confirmation Number: XXXXXXXXX SBI Number: XXXXXX Issuing Police Department: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Contact Phone for Issuing Police Department: XXXXXXXXXX Status Update: Approved Your application for a New Jersey Firearm Purchaser Identification Card and/or Permit to Purchase a Handgun(s) has been approved by the issuing authority. Your electronic permits are now available for execution. Please note that the Issuing Authority will no longer have these available in paper form. Number of Active Permits Available: 3 Expiry Date: 01/12/2021 All permits require a NICS Check to be conducted by NJ Licensed Firearms Dealership, with the following exceptions: Transfer/sale between Law Enforcement Officer Transfer/Sale between Immediate Family Members Transfer/Sale with Licensed Curio/Relic Dealer In these exceptional conditions, the Private Seller can execute the permit at following website: Permit Execution Form for Private Seller. If you have any further questions about the pick-up of your card/permit please contact your issuing police department. There is nothing about permit extension. I hope the local PD will know what to do by the time it gets closer to the expiry date. It has taken 11 days including a weekend from the beginning to the end. Not bad.

Please don't store primers and powder together... NFPA has guidelines on storing powder..follow them

Agreed — buy cheap when available to get through times like this — no need to buy now I can probably go 2 years without needing anything but projectiles — thats going to the range at least 2 times a month

That price would be for installing a zone or three to a sprinkler system including zone valves and new lines. If it's only for replacing four sprinkler heads it would be grossly over inflated - Rain Bird heads are $8 + - each, service call to replace them should be $200 or so.

There is a way to do non FFL transfers with E permits through FARS for qualified transactions. I didn't look into how it's done since that wouldn't involve me.

Yup... im all set to make a round or two... Whenever i start finally rolling my own...

Thanks, but at those prices they can shove it! I will continue to roll my own!

Heck, im a nice guy.. 900$ for Dems, 600$ for Repubs... At least 600$ covers that damn capital improvement fee.. But the voter will have to show me their voter registration papers.. cause we know how badly the Dems will lie to get what they want.

There are new owners out there who would be happy to pay you for a case of .45acp! I also have lots of extra ammo that I bought cheap but I can't bring myself to gouge any fellow gun owner! So title your sale as "To fellow Democrat buyers only, 1,000 rounds of .45acp, only 95 cents per round! $950.00 and it's yours!"

So damn tempting! That shiit is crazy on there! I'll hang on to them or trade them to someone for something i can use.. But Im seriously considering selling a case of federal .45acp to offset the first year capital improvement fee at CJRPC that i just submitted the application to joing......

@Charlie C @FunGun OK guys, you're not the first ones to jump to a conclusion prematurely. I myself have done that. What I learned was: consider all the possible explanations before pulling the trigger on what might be the worst one. And confirm what's actually happening. It's an imperfect world. No harm, no foul. Sounds like you made it right out there in the world. Now, if Twitter and Facebook don't block your rectifications...

Factory what? Cheap plinking? I load match grade bullets, at match level tolerances.. how much does that ammo cost on a normal day?

Not so fast. That ruling is on hold.

Sop here. This forum is typically the least responsive, slowest and downright aggravating to me. Could be my home support system but almost all others sites I visit work in real time. Oh well.

Was that shawn?

Yeeeeeaaaah Buddy!!! Anyone that buys 6 lbs if Pork Roll - Case, Trenton, Taylor’s, whatever - is a person of taste and a damn fine American! Anyone that gifts someone 6 lbs of Pork Roll is, as my buddy Drew says, “Bro as Fuck!”.

First, well-done to @Handyman Next: "Safety bullets" were already invented....decades ago! Glaser Corbon: Glaser Safety Slug is a frangible bullet made by Cor-Bon/Glaser, a subsidiary of Dakota Ammo, an American ammunition company based in Sturgis, South Dakota. The Glaser Safety Slug was developed by Jack Canon in 1975, the same year the company was founded by Armin Glaser. In the wrong hands, this video would help get this ammo banned from production as politicians would love to enact "FEEL-GOOD" legislation against it. These rounds are both a blessing and a curse, especially here in NJ. A low-information jury member could be convinced that using these 1,400 FPS "extra-deadly rounds" that are a Surgeon's nightmare meant that you premeditated a shooting scenario and enjoy killing. Anything can be twisted in court. HP's are outlawed under the Geneva Convention because they're UNFAIR & EVIL! NJ outlawed "Dum-Dum's". A Prosecutor can indict a Ham Sandwich.... So be careful out there!

"Low Penetration Safety Bullets" Even better...

I applaud the concept of reducing suicide and any partnerships geared to that end. That said, I'm very familiar with Trace (the online site quoted above) and frankly, I view their articles and conclusions with the same skeptical eye that I might view an article on InfoWars. Trace is unapologetically biased towards gun control... and partners in that goal with their brethren, Slate and HuffPo, which should give you a clue. Trace's mission statement is: The Trace is an independent, nonprofit journalism startup dedicated to shining a light on America’s gun violence crisis. ​To me, the word "crisis" connotes a growing problem that is spiraling out of control... which does not align with the reality of our decades-long DECLINE in gun crime (we'll see if this last year's uptick is a long-term trend or not... but for many years, it's been a steady decline in the rate. That's just fact). So, to me, Trace railing about our "gun violence crisis" in their mission statement shoots their own credibility to shit coming right out of the gate. NJGF readers will interpret the article and decide for themselves, of course... I'm merely pointing out the need to "consider the source". Look at their other articles and ask yourself - is this journalism? or activism? Not denigrating the initial partnership between NSSF and AFSP, mind you, (which sounds very positive)... just pointing out the issues with this particular "news" source... of which the OP may not even be aware.

This morning at TSUSA Federal HST 147 gr. 9mm is $1.00 per round. Last year on sale it was .40.
