How many rounds can you load per hour?
Don't worry about how fast you are. It's more important how safe you are. I would never try to run at top speed. If anything went wrong (crimped case, small primer in .45ACP, Berdan primed case, etc.) you are moving too fast to stop. That's how guys have a primer tube kaboom.

VV N320 Powder Group Buy
Ha! Good one. At least I caught it. A double charge is my greatest fear. I always check the case before seating a bullet. It slows me down but what can I say, I worry a lot. When it comes to reloading, that may be a good thing.

VV N320 Powder Group Buy
N320 is safe for 9mm and 40S&W but the margins for error are less than slower powders. The safety margins are more if you can load to longer OALs but the Glock mags do not accept the longer OALs. Just my personal preference.

VV N320 Powder Group Buy
Maks: Got your message. I'm trying some other powders right now. With the Glock mags only allowing shorter OALs, N320 is a little too fast for my tastes.

Are the cheaper 1911's worth it?
Save your money and buy a good quality 1911. The cheap ones may be good out of the box but the softer metals they are made of will not stand the test of time and wear. IMHO. I do think the plastic guns will stand the test of time. I have not heard of anyone wearing one out. I have seen many rusty "metal and wood" guns on Gunbroker that were pretty much ruined by neglect.

Static Steel at Tenafly this Sunday?
Sorry I could not make it. I was visiting a sick friend. I'll try to be there for knockdown steel.

Static Steel at Tenafly this Sunday?
I saw a bunch of people there so I was totally distracted. Also, I am the worst at remembering people, except pretty girls for some reason.

Static Steel at Tenafly this Sunday?
Contact Lauren at [email protected] and get on the email list. The knockdown steel is my favorite match. Regarding your questions, walk ins are fine as there is no registration. You can shoot .22s. Here is their website: http://trpclub.org/

USPSA / Shongum 11/5
1.) Cold? All I heard was what a great day it was. 2.) Lesson of the day: When in doubt, read the stage set up instructions. Listening to Maks is probably good too. Thanks again to Maks for putting together the group buy.

USPSA / Shongum 11/5
I did not receive a message from Ron so the match is on. See everyone there. We can have an NJGF squad if eveyone wants to do that. Tell Karen when registering.

Weak Shell Ejection?
Typical sign of a weak load. Either increase the charge weight or get a lighter recoil spring.

Shooters Wanting to Try a Practical Discipline
I found USPSA to more of a "thinking" game. The stages are more complex and with fewer rules, there are more opportunities for gaming. IDPA is more remembering to stay behind cover and shoot until you run dry. No tactical reloads like USPSA. BTW, how many rounds are the stages at the Bridgewater IDPA? I want to shoot my H&Kc but I only have two, eight-round magazines and MidwayUSA is sold out.

Cherry Ridge -Wed 11-2-11 Canistear road
These are known as "paper streets". They appear on municipal maps but they do not exist or are a path in the woods. They are the bane of real estate professionals.

USPSA / Shongum 11/5
I'll be there. The Tenafly USPSA practice match was cancelled due to no power. These stages call for accurate shot placement so I could have used some practice. I think I was in a fog last match. The brain was not working and I was distracted. I'll have to do better for the classifier.

Interest in a reloading class/workshop?
Frank: I'm up for a class. I can teach and learn at the same time. Why waste my mistakes when others can learn from them.

What are you doing this snowstorm?
I planned on reload some .45ACP and cleaning brass. Then the power went out. It's back on and I did some reloading and brass cleaning. Now it's have a glass of wine and hit the NJgunforum.

Cherry Ridge Range Improvements
This is HUGE news! I cannot believe it. I am in real estate so I know the problems with DEP, slopes, wetlands, permits, etc. but this will make Cherry Ridge will be THE range to join without question. Tell everyone involved this is a great idea and let's move forward.

Cherry Ridge Range Improvements
Stop teasing us! What would this "action range" have? Steel targets? Also, I am inferring action pistol matches. USPSA matches at Cherry Ridge would be nice. I decided to keep my Cherry Ridge membership rather than trade it for RTSP. These ranges make me think I made the right choice.
-
Primer Group Buy?
Can you give them to me at a Shongum match? Or maybe I'll see you at an Old Bridge match. Put me down for 5,000 CCI small pistol, standard. Are you getting any powder? Winter is reloading season.

Suggest a .9MM Handgun
How about the Sig 250? If you want a SD only gun, a double action only (DAO)gun may be what you want.
