Review of ACR thus far (not full review yet)
you purposely dumped sand in the action? =) Its not an AK. =) JK. i give you props for the balls to do that. I felt the rifle at a few shows and really like it. As consumers we should be thankful we have so many great choices. Rob arms XCR's, Remington ACR's, Sig 556's, Hk's, FN Scar's, and countless amount of piston driven AR's.

Brick armory how to distinguish NJGF MEMBERS
If you go there during the Tuesday evenings.... you cannot miss us. Some folks will wear the tshirts, however no name tags are necessary. We are the loudest and plenty of us there. Worst case, just ask the guys behind the counter for the forum guys, they will point you in the right direction.

Blue Nile?
Btw, fyi, Jared's has all loose stones that you pick from. Go there, check them out in person to get an idea of what you want.... then go online to look at them if you want. I was about to do Blue Nile, but Jared's offered a small discount and 0% for 12 months for their rings. I figured I would take advantage of it, instead of taking money out of savings, they can keep getting their measly 5%. =)

Over one thousand guns seized !!!
Considering this is Arizona.... I would want to hear the full story... I am sure this may have something to do with illegal guns going into Mexico.

Reloading .223/5.56
To me, it is not that important unless you are loading to the max or you are loading match grade ammo and need supreme consistency. Case capacity can differ by manufacturer. I have never done this for my pistol reloads. It is probably worth doing for my SAVAGE PC 308 though, but I have yet to do it. case capacity is different between Military 7.62 and commercial 308, and so forth. I believe the correct thing to do, as I was instructed by Tim, is to lower the load by 10% when using military brass. I just dont use military brass.

Reloading .223/5.56
223 because it is such a bottleneck case, and in particular because it is thin as it is, I take extra caution. Personally, I think it is pointless to do this on a full progressive, especially since you are still doing the full prep on the cases. With 223, I hate remington brass, way thin and even fully lubed, I have managed to get 2 cases stuck in the dies. PMC brass works very well though. Granted, with the price of 223 at $6.50 a box, or if you are shooting steel cased at $3.79 a box, it is almost pointless to reload it, unless you want match grade ammo. Reloading 223 Bullet $.10 to $.20 cents. Powder $.07 Primer $.03 $.20 to $.30 cents a round, bulk or match (sierra bullets) PMC = $.325 per round Tula Bulk Steel Cased = $.1895 Personally, to me, I would rather pay 2 cents per round more, and not have to fuss with reloading 223. at $10 a box, there is a difference. Since I dont have a match grade 223, or a bolt 223, I find it pointless for myself, especially since the AK will fire steel cased stuff all day long. 308 now is a different animal. I shoot 308 out of a bolt gun, only one, for now, so my process is a bit different. 1. Tumble and Clean cases. (I do keep them seperated, so the same 20 rounds of factory ammo stay together, or by the number of loads) 2. Neck Size and deprime. 3. Check OAL, clean primer pocket. 4. Prime 5. Powder 6. Powder Check Die 7. Bullet Seat For bolt guns, because the rounds are coming out of the same gun, I only use the Lee Collet dies, as the case is fireformed to the gun. Because it is neck sized only, you do not need to lube up the cases. Brass life is much longer, and I am now on around 6th or 7th reloads, and no signs of stress, still looks new. On the turret, very easy to do this, and most of all, precision. Cost wise... Bullet = $.25 for Sierra Match Kings Powder = $.12 for 42 grains Primer = $.03 at $30 a box Brass = reloading the purchased commercial ammo, and range pick up ( range pick ups I do full resize obviously). Even if purchased new, amortize over 6 to 7 reloads and yo uare at $.10 $.50 a round of match grade ammo, with brass life amortized. Versus paying $1 a round of Gold Medal Match.

bensalem walmart has very little 9mm ammo
For handgun caliber, Walmart is cheap if they have the ammo. For rifle, their prices are a tad high and not really competitive. 223 is 39.99 per 100 rounds. 8 a box.... versus pmc at cables for 6.50.
