  1. They only blow away when they are empty. And the kids love shooting them. It is all about the children.
  2. Took the kids out to have some fun today. At the end of shooting my Daughter informed me she went through all the ammo I keep in her range bag and it needs to be replenished. How can I say no to that.
  3. Great gun, you will not be disappointed with it.
  4. Unless it has changed you can surrender your plates and wait a period of time and reregister for new plates. If you are trying to reregister old plates than that it the way NJ has always been, nothing new there. This happened to me when I came home form the Corps and wanted to get my old car on the road. Turned in the plates and waited 7 days, went down and got new plates. We can thank Jim and John for the increases in registration fees. My utility trailer use to be $7.
  5. Matt, I can think of three of us here that would help you out if this is the route to go.
  6. Good to know for those who use Lee or Dillon, thanks. Good call on the broken shell extractors.
  7. Wow, now Ruger makes a 1911. And it is a Series 70, that makes it more enticing. A 380 is a very snappy gun in a small package. If you must go 380 look at the Sig P238. I was amazed at how well it shot. It had less felt recoil than my wifes Cheetah which is a bit beefier than the Sig.
  8. The best thing is it is now an activity that the two of you can share together. Makes for a much happier marriage when there are common interests and activities. Congratulations
  9. I'm in as long as there is pie with it.
  10. HAHA I like spending your maney Matt Buy one it is worth the $25.
  11. If you are reloading rifle buy one before you need it. Chances are when you need it it is 2300 on a Friday or Saturday night. I have only had 3 stuck cases, 1 with 22-250 last night. I have a RCBS Stuck Case remover kit so it was not an issue. But it got me thinking there are a bunch of new reloaders on here and it is well worth having and not needing. Because when you need it it is too late if you do not have one.
  12. And I am pretty sure there is a DOT reg on how many pounds of powder can be transported over a bridge to get into NJ. Not sure if it is a State or Federal Regulation though.

    Wow, this went into a stop pissing in my favorite gun cornflakes or I will whine and slap you back. Both companies make good guns. I have an older Sig and an older HK. Of the 2 I prefer the Sig feel over the HK. both Shoot well, both are reliable. if you have the budget for one go for it. Another serious contender should be a CZ if you are open to looking at other guns. Just as good and reliable as the other 2 but a bit cheaper. I have one as well so I can make the comparison. Your best bet is to go fondle and shoot as many different guns as you can. I have shot guns that I love the look and feel of but hated them when I pulled the trigger.
  15. Happy Birthday Ed.
  16. I am partial to 1911's with a Sig P220 second. Third is a CZ 97 and a XD45 tied.
  17. If you are joining with that in mind, don't. You will only get others killed by being reckless. You are not going to be of any use in the military. Some one that does a heroic deed is born out of necessity of the moment and the need to save your brothers, not the intentional egocentric need for recognition. I knew people like you. Stay here and keep reloading.
  18. not the kind you are thinking of, unless you like old. Mine is from 1899.
  19. Thanks John ,it was good to be out and about again. I missed shooting and today was a good day, Cody went through about 500 rds in his 22 and destroyed a bunch of juice bottles. He is so happy his Rem 597 project is complete and ready to shoot. The wind was insane and put a damper on small bore shooting but the 45 Colt did not disapoint. Can't wait to get out again. Next time I should have a Swede to play with.
  20. I hope your FIL reads the forum and kicks you in your ass, you deserve it. Complaining about a free gun before you even knew what it was.

    Welcome to the forum
  22. This thread is making my eyes hurt. You intentionally loaded ammo not knowing what you were doing? Knowingly used what you suspect is shoddy equipment or at least out of spec? And you are trying to compare different manufactureres to your reloads for AOL but you do not know what powder is in the other rounds. STOP reloading and seek out some assistance. Stop throwing money away on more equipment until you know what it is you want to do. You may not be worried if your gun blows up but the person next to you may. Buy more than 1 manual and read it. Each manual has a variance in load data. What may be max in 1 manual is fine in another. Different guns, components, temps, etc cause different results. Buy Lyman #49 and read it thoroughly.
  23. Welcome
