Revolver for HD
A 4" GP100 or S&W 686 makes a great home defense revolver. Load it up with some 38+p and you're good to go. Can't beat it.

Quote For Next Years Health Insurance Just Came In.
According to Obama and the democrats that's spare money for you. You need to distribute some of your hard earned cash to some unfortunate people to help even things out. Isn't it a great system?

Looking for a "Bling" gun..
The Beretta 92FS Inox is an awesome bling gun with class. One of my favorite pistols. I'm not a fan of the Taurus chrome look. Don't go cheezy and cheap just to get a pistol.

Suggestions for a beginner reloader?
A rockchucker is bulletproof and will last a lifetime. The supreme reloading kit is excellent to start with. I'm not sure, but RCBS may still be giving a $50.00 rebate when 300 is spent.

Best option for small game
12GA and small game loads. 12GA is nice because you can also use it for deer. You basically walk the woods for squirrel and hunt the fields for rabbit. I haven't gone in a long time, but opening day for pheasant in the flatbrook area sounded like vietnam. Weekdays are best for hunting the more popular WMA's in NJ. If you are interested in pheasant and don't have a dog, hunt the wooded area's on the edge of fields. The pheasant that get scared out, or missed shots, will be hanging close by.

Most Crappy Rounds You Ever Reloaded
I always test load 10 to 25 rounds before mass producing. To this day, my reloads have been flawless. It's a good idea to chamber check rounds if used in different pistols. For example, the 9mm COL I reload for my 92FS are on the long side (within spec), but are a little too long to properly feed in my PPS. The same in .45ACP. The chamber in my Springfield 1911 is "more forgiving" than the chamber in my H&K 45c. I need to keep cartridge COL within a range to get good feeding in the H&K. You can do a preliminary check to see how well the cartridge fits in your gun by removing the barrel and dropping the cartridge in. It should headspace off the end of the brass and the bullet head should be close, but not hitting the lands in the barrel. This is just a preliminary test. You need to test fire to make sure they cycle OK. RN are usually longer than hollow points or flat points. If the bullet head hits the lands in the barrel, it may not go into battery or cause higher pressures from the bullet head being forced into the case. The lead RN that I reload for my 1911 are slightly longer than the ones for the H&K 45c.

8x57 getting harder to get
I just picked up a case of this and it shoots good out of my M48. 8mm is difficult to find for a good price right now.

Has anyone tried the 7.62x54R surplus ammo that Cabelas is selling with the wood crate? I just picked up my first 91/30 from Rayco Armory.
You don't need to put water down the barrel. Hoppe's does remove the corrosive salts. Hoppe's will clean and protect, although I like to put a patch with oil after cleaning.

Meltzer's =)
You need to stop by to see what they have. They don't have a huge selection, but if you're close by it's worth stopping by. I got a very good deal on a used Ruger Redhawk. I've seen nice used Smith's from time to time. Almost every time I walk in, I see something I like.

Meltzer's =)
I bought my first gun from them in 1982, a 870 Wingmaster. They do have good service. I had a problem with a rifle that was a month old and brought it back. They returned it to Marlin, got it fixed, and didn't cost me a dime. I've found very good deals on used guns. Cherry Ridge members get 10% off on used guns and $10.00 off on new. New gun prices are hit and miss. Some are on the high side and some are similar to other stores in the area.

Buy 5.45 Saiga or build 5.45 AR
I would go with some type of AK variant if the ammo choice is 5.45.

Brass Scrounging at oudoor range
I've only seen "brass catchers" as suggested above to catch brass. I've never seen anything placed on the ground at a range with other shooters around. It's not practical and is an accident waiting to happen.
