    Part of the reason it can be debated to no end is that steel cased ammo is built to a price rather than a spec. What people are debating changes constantly I LOVED the wolf ammo with copper jacketed projectiles. Bimetal jackets? Not so much. The accuracy got worse, and the plating thickness varies as well as the hardness of the underlying steel jacket. Clean vs. dirty? Much like cheaper brass cased ammo, I've gotten a variety of results from pretty clean to really dirty over the years. I'd be all over hronady steel match, but it isn't really cheaper than bulk xm193, so I go with what I get cases I can reload easier from.
  2. There has been an aw bound book since the ban. This is not new. What we have is someone saying that stuff is getting logged in it that is not an aw by law. It's the kind of thing one should confirm IMO.
  3. s For posterity, those are about 4" across the circle. Vertically oriented at about 100 yards, they are pretty easy. They get harder from there

    Dear god people, these things are like $3-4 at the supermarket, and come packed with a few filters, a box of additional ones is like $2 http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-Ready-Single-Coffee-Brewer/dp/B0014CVEH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390586005&sr=8-1&keywords=one+cup+coffe+funnel The supermarket was like locusts descended during sandy and these things were still on the shelf. Got one for my wife and the in laws. It was like I was Prometheus bringing fire. I don't even drink coffee, why does it seem it is jsut me and the shoprite inventory system that knows these exist.
  5. Given the relative lack of name recognition, I don't know if the cabot's would retain value. The only thing I've heard about of them before this was for their lefty/righty matched sets. Which indicates skill, but at $5k, I'd like to see some broad desirability for them, or the ability to get them truly customized. Heck, most of the "custom" brand names don't. You want to drop $5k on an heirloom, you might want to peruse the louder than words forum ( http://forum.ltwguns.com/ ), the stuff aint cheap, they also have raffles and auctions for customs to benefit charities. Might be a place to start looking, at least at the difference between custom shops and custom. You could also potentially find more available smiths that might be able to produce something more personal. Depends on your perspective.
  6. For osme reason, people never want to believe me, but the lee reloading book is one of the better instruction manuals currently available. Hit up youtube and search for introduction to reloading to get an overview of the steps, and the lee manual will fill in most of the details and the decision process at each step and basic troubleshooting. It also has tons of pictures, even if they are black and white. I guess people see it is cheap and/or think it is only for lee equipment which is beneath them or something.
  7. Because they haven't tried to ban anything in common use since the 2nd was upheld as an individual right and became incorporated. It would require someone to have been breaking the law. SO you could ewither come forward and be prosecuted and possibly do time, or you don't have a defendant to take to court. On top of that, the history of going up the ladder to the SCOTUS doesn't generally fair that well when you bring a felon along, it is better to have an aggrieved law abiding citizen that has been harmed by the passage of a law. There is a third option of forming a class, but given that politics in NJ is less varied on the spectrum than most every other state, and our courts are what they are, the odds of being permitted to form a class and have it make it to court in the first place are low.
  8. You can't MAKE it here. Federally, you can';t transfer. Possession? I'm not a lawyer.
  9. This would jibe 100% with what I heard. Lots of people didn't use it because it really had limited or no benefit for most owners.
  10. anyone got the .pdf? I'm not real keen on signing up for yet one more service simply to download it. On the up side, if someone wants to send me a copy, I'll put it up and post a link unencumbered by any signup requirement so folks cna print it out at whim.
  11. How accurate? From a bench I can hit reasonably teensy stuff out to 100 depending on the gun and the sights/optic. As a shooter, I'd guess in ok weather I'm about a 3/4 MOA shooter. I've hit that general area repeatedly with various gear, but not MY ARs as I really haven't set them up to do it (i.e. no decent magnifying optic), and I'm not doing that wit a red dot or a ghost ring sight. I've never had my hands on a quality peep sight and a >50 yard range at the same time, so... (also haven't picked up a quality peep in years, and my eyes are definitely way worse than when I was young, so no idea if I'd even be where I was then at those ranges) With my ARs, kneeling, sitting, and prone, 4" clays at 100 are cake with irons or a dot. Offhand standing at 100 it takes me about 1.5 shots per clay, I have to see how perishable a skill that is when I get free time this year, that required some real practice and changes to technique. Mostly I practiced on my 5" resetting plate. the clays are odd under those conditions. It became hard to assess performance. I'd stick them on the berm, and you can miss just a little and break them or toss them around. Standing 25 yards or less, with my .22 upper I've put multiple rounds through the same hole when using the techniques I practiced for the 100 yard offhand stuff mentioned above. I can't say other than things where it produced a "hunh, will you look at that" result that I've bothered to check group sizes at that range. I know I've done pretty well on mini clays at 50 yards offhand. I usually do a 50 yard zero on my ARs, and with a 3 MOA dot, even from a bench I have a hard time getting groups under about 1.5 moa (aka 1.5") and have noticed similar with irons and optics, the limitation seems to be the size of the dot/ front post, reticle when MOA = ~0.5in. There's even some weirdness that factors in from size of the target. Something larger than the aiming dot/reticle/etc but only about twice the size seems to optimize my ability to center it visually and hold center. I'll go along with the previous statement that accuracy means different things to different people. There's a lot to be said about the basics, like being able to trust your sighting in of a rifle, but I've found the exercise of setting a goal of hitting a 4-5" target reliably/quick from 100 yards offhand has been a lot more interesting than learning to make really tight groups at 50-100 yards from prone or bench with all the time in the world. IMO a heck of a lot more technique goes into it.
  12. I hope more do it. REgardless of it mobilizing more gun owners, it gives them the opportunity to attack the law based on denying the ability to purchase firearms in common use in a manner that has largely been covered already in DC.
  13. Uhh. It's like $0.03 per primer. I posit that 1) any negative outcome is not worth $0.03. And 2) if it requires any adjustment of the press, $0.03 is probably not worth the time. Every time I pull the handle on my press, I save between $0.16 and about $1.50. I'm not sweating a few primers or heads for the occasional whoopsie of a flipped primer, missing primer, or split case neck. Not that I never did it when new, but my perspective on it has changed. Don't want to get injured, don't want to deal with the wife's reaction to something going boom, don't want to break gear that may be in short supply by unnecessarily abusing it.
  14. I got a build under 6lb. 16" mid length lightweight barrel with a 0.75 gas block seat. Mid length cf handguard, forged upper and lower. Magpul rear, yhm integrated flip up/gas block. Miad grip, ace skeleton stock. Handguard is an ap custom handguard. Rra semi auto bcg.
  15. Contact rich if you didn't get one. Also, check the cashing if said check. I fell through the cracks last year and kept on tumbling. Had to follow up to get a bill, and get a tag. They also sat on the check for a while. No malice or anything, but once the usual renewal chore is done, it isn't necessarily on the front burner.
  16. There are dealers, and stocking dealers. Stocking dealers require a certain initial inventory purchase. Cost to stocking dealers is less (used to be at least). There are also MAP issues, so always call or ask rather than taking sticker price at face value.
  17. If it shares capacity with outside antennas that service the immediate area, showing up early might just trade the arena crowd for commuters. It might also be an installation that needs active repeaters and they just installed leaky co-ax.
  18. It's the number of phones on the cell. We have the same issue at Rutgers. We have a buttload of antennas on campus mounted on buildings everywhere. When the students are on break I get INSANE LTE speeds. When they come back, it is not unusual to see 350kb/s down form over 20Mb/s. But man.. 24-7-365, I have 5 bars of lies on the phone because you are rarely outside of line of sight of an antenna. we go from a population of about 11k to about 50k when they come back.

  20. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/01/14/omc-ultamag-the-star/ More of the star mag, they also have a two mag connector similar to the OPs design.
  21. Yes I know this. When it was 800 vs 1900, that was valid. It is NOT that any more. I linked a chart. All carriers are using bands all over the place. It isn't 1998 any more.
  22. Then nick, since you lost the argument with the world about 30 products ago, why don't you stop telling everyone they are wrong. Can it feed a 16th round without removing the mag? No? Legal and extremely defensible in court. You can be as cautious as you like, but in nj it is all an affirmative defense. There is no avoiding the fight if the da wants a fight. There is no avoiding the arrest if the cop wants to arrest you.
  23. Google ready mag. It's not a coupler.
  24. I like it. With a ready mag, you can have 60 on the gun. The flip might be awkward. I'd have to try it to see if it slows you down.
  25. This sucker http://www.midwayusa.com/product/319662/rcbs-bench-mounted-primer-pocket-swager Secured firmly to the bench, it is pretty fast.
