Whats your opinion of Centurion .22LR rounds ?
I bought PMC which where made by Agulia and Centurion is also made by Agulia. At least that is what I have heard. They do smell strange. Someone described them as smelling like buy spray. I bought the high-velocity, 40 grain, solid points and they are reliable, accurate and worked well in all the pistols and rifles in which I used them including semi-autos which can be problematic with ammo. I bought a case a few years ago for $100 from Sportsman Guide. I feel like a genius for that purchase.

Looking to get a .22lr pistol for cheap plinking...
The buckmark most difficult? HAH. try the ruger. But yes, the process you described is correct. Hence why I like the 22a. it is a breeze to clean. I have a Ruger Mark II Slabside. The factory instructions are useless but there are good instructions on line. Once you have proper instructions, the Ruger is easy to dis- and re-assemble. I don't understand why it's such a big deal other than the bad factory instructions. However, everything I have heard is that you are right about the 22a. I might have to get one now.

http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/sh ... ght=review The biggest disagreement I have is the disassembly rating. I feel the Buckmark is the most difficult to take apart. It is not designed to be disassembled as a screw holds the barrel to the frame and loctite has to be used to hold the screw tightly in place. Additionally, more than a few people have stripped the screw.

Big flash
I have heard Power Pistol causes flashes. Also, Longshot. They are both slow powders. PP is designed for high pressure rounds such as 9mm and .40S&W. If you used it in a low pressure caliber such as .45ACP, it will cause a flash. I would not assume more powder = bigger flash. The lower pressure of a light load may result in more flash. It's counter intuitive. But please be careful not to exceed SAAMI specs whether you load to the max or below minimum.

Greetings All! New from North Jersey
Welcome! Tell her, if guns "guns promote violence" would the world be more peaceful if we disarmed the police? Start shooting competitively such as USPSA or IDPA or even the 2x4 matches at Cherry Ridge. It will be a good motivator to get or stay fit and a good place to meet new people and network. Look at all the new people you've already met at this forum.

Where in northern NJ is worth renting an apartment?
I am a commercial real estate appraiser and was a residential appraiser so I know the area very well. Montclair is over priced. I would look at eastern Morris County; Parsippany, Morristown, Boonton, Montville to name a few. They are within 10 miles of Montclair and are good areas. This is a buyers market so landlords are looking to cut deals. Don't be afraid to offer below asking rents. Stress you are a good tenant since you pay your rent on time and don't cause problems.

Monthly Cherry Ridge Meetup April 11th
Mike- I'll be shooting that as well. You going 9 or 45? I'm undecided. Frank Go with the 45. Gene shoots a 9mm like a machine gun and does well but I felt I was at a disadvantage using the 9mm. The 45 is especially good if you handload low-recoil SWCs.

I found a guy to help me paint an apartment in Jersey City.
How come we can find them but ICE can't ??? (ICE = Immigration customs enforcement ) The ICE guys are too busy calculating how many days before they can retire.

Republican towns in NJ
It's not the towns, it's the state. The only thing the towns can do to you is delay your permits. The state denies you a CCW and make firearms law so complex and restrictive, the police don't understand them.

Anybody Want to Chrono?
Frank: I may take you up on that offer. I have to get my reloading bench built and order the press. I want to load some 9mm with Power Pistol for my Beretta Storm. I want to see what it takes to make the 150 PF with a 124 gr. bullet.

How many reloaders are on this site???
I'm getting ready. I just have too much on my plate right now to get started. I want rounds for USPSA and IDPA. I need accurate rounds that can put lead on the target fast. From what I have learned in other forums, I have to find the right mix that makes power factor and is also accurate. I have WSF, 231 and Power pistol to play with. I shoot a Beretta 92fs and CX4 Storm. The Power Pistol is supposed to be excellent for the CX4 so I am eager to start.

The Diary of a Newbie Reloader
Wow, I'm right behind you. I picked up most of the accessories on sale at Midway and Cabelas. A friend and I did a run to T & T so I have powder and primers. I bought Zero bullets from Roze. I have to give Brian Enos a call on get my press and a few more odds and ends. The big thing to do is make my reloading bench. Since I am getting a 550, it has to be rock solid. I should be up and running in a couple months. I am starting with 9mm and then .45ACP.

IDPA Poor form????
... but several of the GM that shoot USPSA with us wear shirts with logos. I never really noticed or asked if they were sponsored. Most competitors are too busy getting their equipment ready and checking the stages to notice what others are wearing. The only rule I can recall regarding apparel is regarding offensive or politically oriented garb being considered unsportsmanlike conduct. Therefore, you have not violated any rules. If anyone has a problem, ask them the cite the specific rule you have violated and I mean get out the rulebook and point to it.

Ramsey Outdoor - Getting Back Into Reloading Supplies
I went to T&T yesterday and within five minutes of opening the door, four groups of people where through the door. There has to be significant demand for suppliers closer to us in northern New Jersey.
