ROFLMAO it has been a long 3 weeks

ah, but when 30-06 brass does go bad with a split neck.... it gets converted to 8mm my brass never dies, and when it does it goes into the "Teddy Box"

SHHHHH WATCH OUT! he is like Beetlejuice, you say his name 3 times and he appears.

ah, it all comes down to reading your brass. Learn to caress and feel it as the ram pushes the brass up into the sizing die. Slow and steady movement and pressure on the ram. Be sensitive and learn to get the "touch." You will notice some brass is stiffer to resize than others. Is this because of neck thickness variances? put a caliper on and measure. If it is the same spec, set the brass aside for an annealing job. I anneal, tumble, and resize again. You will notice the brass sizes with the same resistance as the other brass now. If the neck thickness is off compared to other brass neck turn. Once you get to the "zen" like state when resizing your brass will last VERRRRY long. I was taught by one of the best reloaders and shooters in the country( I wont mention his name), and this is one of the things he taught me. It also depends on the caliber too. .303 is horribly rough on brass due to loose chambers so the max I get out of them is about 6-8.

Although i am young i am a 1.0 I cannot stand the fuggtards that come to the range and have the mentallity that if it isnt plastic its a PoS. I cringe when i see every item in a midway catalog that is labeled tactical bolted on a guys gun but still cant shoot for a darn. Learn the fundimentals of shooting first then bolt on the doo-dads. I dislike the guys who think its cool to run around shooting acting like swat team rejects but yet cant hit shiat. They call it training but in a SHTF situation, you'll only die tired looking like an idiot that played too much COD. Beware of the guy that has only one gun, he probabally knows how to use it.

Aim just got a handful of nice Finn M39's I just ordered on I got another B barrel. The prices are pretty darn good as far as 39's go and shipping is free.

I ream and uniform the pockets on my lyman case prep machine. it takes no time at all.

I am lucky enough to have TNT about 25mins from my house so I buy powder from them. Primers I go in on the group buys, and dies I go to midway

I ream my pockets and have rifle brass with 20+ reloads and havent had an issue with loose pockets.

I was thinking on getting one but would only do so if I drove out to the North Store to get it. I already have a bunch of 1903's but what the heck, you can always use a couple more. I guess I see another north store trip in my future to pick through some M1's.

I do see the need for change. People across the country are getting pissed off and they are starting to have a reason. Last hitch offshore I worked quite a bit of overtime, above and beyond my normal 100hrs a week. Well that overtime put me in a higher tax bracket and I saw a wopping total of $7 more in my paycheck. Talk about stunting any economical growth. I was planning on using that money to stimulate the firearms industry, but all I got to do was stimulate the tobacco industry as I just bought a pack of smokes. It is starting to get depressing when you look at your pay stub.

that sucks. I would love to go but will be at work. One of these days I'll be able to make one..........

I think with taxes so out of control they need to tone down the "SWAT" guys. If needed, the State Police should provide the service. There is no need for towns to have SWAT. It is just a little overzealous for me. The State is always standing by and have better trained personnel than Barney Feif who just got issued an AR and thinks he is is MR Bad Arse. I do see a militarization of the police and a general disconnect between them and those that they are sworn to "protect." It is turning into an US vs Them mentality and I dont like the way things are heading. There is a complete lack of trust between the two and that never ends well. As for the police carrying the latest grandest new fancy AR or other rifles with all the doo dads hanging off. I feel there is no need for every vehicle or cop on the beat. Too much in the way of logistics for the way of training and keeping an appropriate ammo supply. Figure if your small dept has 20 active officers that need to qualify once a month, that turns into a bunch of ammo quickly. Maybe every fourth car is acceptable..... AS LONG AS IT FITS THE CRITERIA FOR THE NJ AWB. Just because you are out there to enforce the law doesn't mean you are above it. They should have to follow the rules that any one of us has to. And then if you need more than one per every four cars then you call the State Police for backup, our taxes pay for them utilize them. Overall I am in disgust with the Govt waste and it is appalling to see where it goes.

Many times it doesn't matter on caliber, it comes down to reliability and proficiency. If you know how to use it, and it is reliable, and you are accurate with it, it will do the job.

The M67 is Yugo surplus. The headstamp should be NNY. I have shot thousands of rounds of this stuff and absolutely love it. For me it has been the BEST x39 ammo I can get my hands on.

I love my RIA 1911, accurate and a little work it has the smoothest crispest trigger out of any 1911 I have handled. A couple of members here can verify that, and they have fancy doo dad 1911's to compare.

at least someone is doing something in the terms of AWB, this has the opportunity to help us

I moved the topic from the shotgun section to the appropriate rimfire section.

By far the most accurate is the Yugo M67 surplus made by Privi. It will outshoot any other x39 ammo on the market. Aim has it in stock

yeah but dont forget matt we have a good backup plan for 1903's and 1917's

prepare to call me nuts! The house I grew up in appeared normal in every way, built in the early 80's. But we had a ghost. I dont know how, but somehow the family gave them the nickname " The Freds." They are shadows of people and the primary one was a tall man with a derby style hat on. You would see them almost daily normally at the top of the stairs. It got to the point that my grandma and a couple of my friends wouldn't stay over. The "Freds" weren't shy about being seen. You would wake up in the morning and all of the cabinets in the kitchen would be wide open and stuff would be moved around the house. At night the lights will sometimes turn off and on like someone is just flicking the switch, and the light switch will move. It got to the point as a kid you would just shout "Fred quit it" and it would stop. One time when I was about 9 I had a couple of friends sleep over. We set up sleeping bags in the living room and trying to go to sleep. My dad has a huge key ring for work that he would hang in the kitchen. About 11pm the key ring started shaking and rattling. We look over in the kitchen and there isn't anyone there. But the keys keep shaking, louder and louder. After about 3 minutes the keys fly off the hook and land on the kitchen counter. Sure enough at about 1115 there were a couple of kids calling mom to come pick them up. They didn't believe me about the "freds" until that night. When I was in the Navy, every time I would come home on leave the strange things thing would happen. Our spare bedroom would smell like pipe tobacco. Nobody in the family smokes a pipe, and the smell would be isolated to the spare room and it only happened when I was home on leave. If you step 6" out of the room you wouldn't smell it. Occasionally you would notice the rocking chair in the room rocking on its own, and the smell would get strong. It was like someone was sitting in the rocking chair smoking a pipe. Every male in my family all the way back to the Revolution has served in the Navy, so my grandma would say that it was one of them looking after me. Since I have been discharged nobody has smelled the pipe. Now that the kids are all grown up we rarely see the "Freds." Once in a blue moon there will be something out of place which I interpret as them letting us know they are still here. They weren't bad, I think they were just having fun. My mom always said they were just looking after us and once in a while would like to have fun. I know, laugh all you want.....

Just a heads up to yall the CMP just released the 1903 Springfields and 1917's. I have enough already but for those of you looking this is an excellent deal My link

Well I am bringing my camera to work this time. Might be a little interesting since I work in international waters in the Gulf of Mexico.... heres an excerpt from the article.

UGh you may want to verify your info on that one. It was my understanding that all F2F transfers must be made by people of the same state, rifle or not. If he is from another state it must go through FFL
