Recommendation on reloading rifles dies brands for a Dillon 550B
I have a bad shoulder, and my insurance doesn't cover chiropractic adjustments so this is the next best thing. Actually, big, fat, slow moving bullets are good for taking down animals with a minimum of meat spoilage. I have heard stories of folks trying to take down a pig with 223 fmj and the butcher showing them the destroyed meat.

Thanks T Bill. I got a Marlin 1895 Guide Gun for a hog hunt in late January.

Recommendation on reloading rifles dies brands for a Dillon 550B
Just like the title says. I have a Dillon 550B. I would've just gotten the Dillon dies, but they do not make them in less popular calibers like 45-70, which is what I will be loading in. I bought the Dillon Caliber Conversion kit. Now I just need dies. Does anyone have any recommendations on brands? I know that I wouldn't use the third die in many kits since my powder die already handles belling the case mouth. I have also read that people get more consistent results with buying two of the seating/crimping die and using one to seat and one to crimp in separate stages. It is supposedly less tricky than setting up to seat and crimp in one stage. Thanks in advance.

Hiking Boot suggestions
I have been wearing Timberland Trail hiking boots for the past few years. I have two pair and the soles are both worn. I was slipping all over the place today in them. I am looking for quality boots, but at a reasonable price since new baby = poor. The constraints are... I am a big guy (6ft 300lbs). I am hard on shoes. I have flat, fat feet (12 EEE or EEEE). I am looking for quality waterproof boots that I can use for hiking and hunting. It would be a plus if I could use them as foul weather footwear for work when it's crappy out. I am not hung up on brand names. I got the Timberlands because my wide used to get coupons for their outlet stores. Any help would be appreciated. I am going to be stomping around in PA on a pig hunt in late January, so I would like to get something soon I can have broken in by then. I would like to keep the price under $150 if possible, although I am willing to pay for quality if something is a little over that. Thanks in advance.

Converted Saiga 223 - $549
For those who don't feel comfortable tinkering with a non-converted Saiga. Good price. Great gun in a cartridge that won't be affected by any import bans. You just need to buy a few Jersey legal mags. http://www.jgsales.com/saiga-ak-style-rifle,-223,-16-barrel,-black-synthetic-stock,-new.-p-63105.html

Tavor grip part of body? Or evil pistol grip?
To the best of my knowledge, there is no definitive ruling in New Jersey that let's us know if thumbhole stocks and stocks with integral.grips are considered a "pistol grip". The safest route would be to treat it as one.

Fair price for once fired 223/5.56 brass
I will bite the bullet and give an approximate count. I would price at the low end of the range. I will post here and in the classified once I am done.

Fair price for once fired 223/5.56 brass
I have a lot of once fired PMC 223 brass mixed with a little M193 5.56 (i.e. me picking up my brass at Central Jersey). What is a fair price to list it for? I am guessing somewhere between 500 and 1000 pieces. Thanks.

Odd procedure by Maplewood PD with multiple pistol permits
Be insistent. Have him call the state police. They actually sent a letter to ALL police departments in New Jersey telling them that they cannot limit applicants to one permit. Hopefully someone here can post that letter for you to print out and show him.

NRA Membership Deal
I am glad the NRA doesn't waste money on New Jersey. We are a lost cause. Most Jerseyans like our retarded gun laws. And they like goods and services paid for by others taxes, so we will keep electing more of the same liberal jackasses. I am happy the NRA's money is spent in battleground states where it will do some good.
