This is the stupidest waste of money for the ban states.... COUNT! Count to 15. I can see this being cool if say you have a few beta mags, or even 60 round surefires.... but even still as a novelty..... but there are so many other ways you can spend whatever it will cost. =)

Ryan, you coming out?

Was another iirc.

Both.

Nick, aren't you just supposed to show up and that is it? The wife and her family supposed to take care of everything else. =)

What I will say is... I am fairly positive that NJ has gone after dealers who shipped ammo to NJ without FID based on their search here. For that reason, we removed a post with a list of firearms retailers who shipped ammo. One or two recently switched, and it was because NJ AG and State Police contacted them.

Nope, show up early and help. =P

I'm in. Stage already sent up. This is the last chance/match before Nationals.

On a side note, I don't think airlines really enforce the 11 lbs of ammo. For nationals last year to Vegas, flew with about 25 or 30 lbs of ammo. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Tooo fawking funny, I got to get this for the car.

absolutely, save it and post it here.

Those are what I use.

[email protected] Video from the match.

were you shooting 40 or 45? if so, send Aaron or Ron G an email.

You can buy brass for about $30 per k. Typically once fired, take a look at uspsa classifieds ads.

Once again, overpriced is all relative.. It is the same as people driving 50 miles out of the way to save $10 on a gun, but will spend $15 on gas. People will have to factor in the total price for the range. I know people who are members at RTSP and for them, you cannot put a price on a clean, well ventilated range. Yes, you can drive out to Fort Dix and pay $60 a year and $3 an hour, so you are saving money, however then factor in the wait times and all that goes with me. It is either a good value, or a bad value. Personally, I do not see the value in spending as much per hour or membership at RTSP, however it is hella far from me, and I do not shoot indoors or at public ranges for that matter. As far as someone being offended for them putting up a Mizzuzah on the front door, how the hell can you be offended? It is their right to do so, nor as a Jew, would I complain for a business putting up icons of St. Mary, or a Cross or whatever at their establishment. Talking about price, sure. But when no one should be offended, or even have a right to complain for someone putting up a Mizzuzah on the front door (which is where it goes), at a private establishment in a country where last I checked, we still had freedom of religion. I would be extremely pissed if someone told me that they were offended by me wearing a star of david, or putting up a Mizzuzah on the door. They did not put up the Mizzuzah on the door for anyone but themselves.

the Smith and wesson are fantastic guns (1911's) I do have the Pro Series in 9mm, fantastic gun. All about the platform.

hehe, what happened at the rifle stage? =) Great day, great shooting weather. Ah gun problems. =) So have 3 mag issues to work and should of probably clean the gun before the match. =P But pretty happy with the overall performance anyway.

btw, for those thinking no big deal.... how much black crap do you have in your nose after an hour or so at the range? (indoor range). Then think of all the unburned powder and residue on your hands, face, clothes. Yup, you are breathing it in, and then bringing it home. It is fine if you shoot once in a blue moon, but if you shoot on a regular basis.... be careful.

How much is your health worth? After a few people on here having issues with lead levels.... especially if you are reloading... look, you are already saving enough money reloading, spend a few bucks and shoot plated or fmj or better yet, JHP or TMJ/CMJ. I pretty much shoot only outdoors now, even if it is cold, and beyond that, only JHP or Plated. Plated (xtreme plated) you can save a bit more over FMJ, and still have a great bullet. In light of a few shooters on here with lead issues, urge everyone to ask their doctors to run a blood test for lead levels. It is not something they run a panel for in general, so you got to ask for it specifically.

Cheaper alternative... take our your barrel and drop check/chamber check every round. =)

Overpriced is all relative. To someone who lives within 20 mins, the savings in gas alone will make up the difference. The good news is, more and more ranges opening up!

Pretty much every die set, will come with a seat/crimp. He already has a Lee die set, so no reason to get another, especially when the Hornady die sets are still not powder through expanders, but rather expander plug for the powder measure. If he bought a Hornady die set, it would accomplish nothing that he can currently do. =) The Lee Factory Crimp Die is different from the regular seat/crimp dies as the factory crimp die gives a taper crimp, removing the flare from the casemouth, and improves feeding

Lee dies work just fine with the Hornady... all my die sets except 2 are Lee. They are a little shorter, so just take your time setting them up, but they are just fine. You cannot use the Lee Powder Through expander with the Hornady powder measure, however you can use the die to expand.... or use it with the lee powder measure. Absolutely get an RCBS Lock out Die. Far better than the Hornady powder cop. Currently I have setup. Station - Die 1. Deprime/Resize (Lee) 2. Expander (Lee) 3. Hornady Powder Drop Die (the one that came with the press) 4. RCBS Lock out Die 5. Seat/Crimp (Lee) I do not use the factory crimp die as there is no space for it, however you can then reset it, and do it separately, or on a single stage. For 40 cal, I do not use it. You can get the Hornady powder through expander inserts for the powder measure, and it will free up one station, however reviews are less than stellar on it. So I sacrificed the factory crimp for it. The RCBS Lock out Die, while not essential to reloading, I feel is a must, and dirt cheap insurance from blowing up your gun. For the Lock n Load AP, I would get the casefeeder, exponentially faster reloading, as well as look into an ergonomic handle, especially if you are setting up the press higher up to reload while standing or on a tall stool. Otherwise, shell plates for each caliber, and some dry lube. Edit... Btw, your Seating die in the Lee Deluxe set is a Seat/Crimp die.... just adjust it down, read the booklet that came with it. It is fine for most calibers. The factory crimp die is really there (as I use it) to give a post loaded, secondary resize to get rid of any bulges. However in most handguns, it is not necessary. It does help in guns with a tighter chamber, such as CZ/Tanfoglio.
