How far do you shoot your 22LR rifles?
Ruger came out and stated that the Charger is not NJ compliant IIRC.

wohooo. lol. When I flew in, it was slow as heck... right now sitting waiting for flight and it is pretty quick. +1 to Orlando International - MCO for giving the gift of free wifi.

dont pay for your gun in full, bad experience at brick amory
Sitting at the airport wondering how this got to 8 pages. lol. But I do want to add in a few comments before relocking this. The OP is obviously impatient as this is his first gun purchase. Secondly, when a dealer orders a gun for you, you follow through and buy it. I had a similar case, twice... Where the timeline is open ended, I asked Vinco35 to get me a 1911.... he got it a few days later.... I had something come up in the days in between, however.... I still went there and shelled over $1200 for a firearm he ordered for me, and fronted his money. Another case with some rifles.... I gave my word that I would take 2.... In the mean time, I purchased another one of the same gun. A few months later, they came in, and I had already committed to buying 2... guess what, i bought 2 more as I had given my word to do so. What we often forget is that many dealers, esp on this forum, sell firearms in part as a service to the community, and it is not their primary income. If they order something for you.... they cant just resell it. it means having an inventory, which guess what, they do not have a storefront. IE.... why their margins are so low and why they give you a good price. So dont be a douche... if you committed to something, follow through on it. About BA..., yes, I have personaly experienced issues, however at the end of the day, i was given what I was promised. Was the ride bumpy at times.... sure, however at the end of the day, I still go shoot there because it is the nicest indoor range, and I like the folks who work there. If something was on the shelf, I would not hesitate to buy it, and if you get to know Phil, he will give you a good to great deal. If you do not bargain on the price, or are not educated enough to google or even do a firearms price request quote... who's fault is that? I can promise you, if you do a firearms price request quote... within 24 to 48 hours, you will have at least 3 responses with prices. BTW... i was in talks with the OP about selling him my Hk p30l.... lets leave it at that. Moral of the story, think, and dont be in a rush. If you are having an issue, go to someone who can deal with it.... having a pitty party online is not going to make a damn bit of difference. One thing I learned.... 85% of the people dont give a hoot about your problems, the other 15% are glad you have them. :doh: When I have an issue with anyone, including BA, I do bring it up, and it gets resolved. If you dont try to have it resolved.... it only means it is not important enough for you to get it resolved.

Substituting primers
This is true for Wolf, however not sure about others. I know a few folks who spoke with wolf and were told by wolf that their Magnum Primers are the same as the regular ones, just with a harder cup. Max, could be their primers are the same charge and just a harder cup on the magnums, both being a mag charge ? who knows... that I dont recall. All I know is the difference for them is cup hardness. dont know about charges.
