I do not have it either, but the amout of times I use toll roads is minimal. I am shocked that they have not started mailing tickets because you went from A to B too quickly, but give it time.

For lightweight hikers I like Merril or Vasque.

To do what in? different activities require different specs.

Are your cases sooty? If they are you may need to increase charge to get a good brass seal in the chamber. I prefer to use the lightest load possible while always locking my slide on the last round. What powder are you using?

If you are reloading then light loads could be a cause. There are lots of variables that can cause this. What gun are you shooting?

I love my 75b. The trigger is better than on my Sig or any Sig I have fired. It is no 1911 trigger but it is not supposed to be. If I were to get another 75 it would be a Single action 75SA. Great pull out of the box.

Sadly this is not the first time this has happened there. I wonder if they will stock all the birds they find( that we pay for with the overpriced stamps) or still sell some to private hunting clubs and stock less for us( make profit that we pay for and give us less in return). Obviously this is NJ and we will get screwed, again.

I started doing everything on a Rock Chucker. Not the most time efective way but great for learning on. I still do my rifle on it because there are a lot more tedious steps for accurate rifle rounds than pistol. I upgraded to a couple of Square Deals, one for large and one for small pistol. Great little machines and in my opinion the best for cranking out pistol rounds. If starting fresh the cost of SDB dies vs others is almost a wash for getting everyting you need for a caliber conversion.

Forget the whole accuracy issue, you are causing a safety issue. Semi auto pistol rounds headspace on the case mouth. you are roll crimping instead of taper crimping. Which means that your round will not stop where it is supposed to and can go too far into the chamber to the barrel.And if it does manage to fire will cause excessive pressure, your rim will not be secure against the breechface and the primer could pop. Not to mention you are now counting on your extractor to hold the round in place while being fired which is bad for the extractor. In your load manual you will see a measurement for the case mouth to be crimped to. Adjust your die for that.

where do I start? I have a few winter fix ups already but hopefully will start a 6.5 target rifle by winters end.

H&R Bay State 410 and s Savage 220 12 ga. Both were wrapped in an old blanket and placed in a garage since 1980or so. And they look it. Both need new wood but the rust is pretty minor. The 12 ga is made right with a nice thick barrel. I am thinking of turing it into a scoped slug gun. The 410 I am going to cut down and do something funky for my Daughter.

trying to find parts for a few old shotguns I was given today. Trying to figure out how to make them work again.

ok but you have to buy breakfast. I know nothing about shotgun, sorry Mike, but pistol and rifle I am pretty good at. seems like we would need two classes. New and intermediate? As well as a basic load manual. Say everyone bring Lyman #49.

This is the one item not to cheap out on. Happy feet make happy hunters. I had a pair of Rocky's for years that were good. I picked up a pair of Irish Setters a few years back and love them. Very comfortable for a day of pheasant hunting. I am hard on boots, aside from my size I go through all the crap and muck the dogs go through and these things are holding up great. Danner makes a great boot and I was told that Wolverine makes Merril(my prefered hiking boot). I wear steel toe Wolvorines for work and can not complain about them.

I prefer to have printed manuals myself. I joined that site last year and find it is better suited for the oddball rifle calibers that I load for not the 40 load I was looking for that it could not help me out with.

someone is trying to get some brownies.

she really liked it

Nothing that I miss, but my wife was unhappy after I sold my SKS.
