Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
Dude, why didn't you say something! But we were down further in lanes 6,7 and 9. I forgot my shirt and was in a rush to get a job done so the only NJGF shirt there was Chris's. Thanks for coming out again Rick, Chris and Colin! I want to know how many brass casings did Rick get? He got 223, 9mm, 40, 45, 38's, and whatever other crazy calibers he stole (borowed) from the ports around us! I'm gonna guess he got at least 300 rounds. Yea - I hink it was somewhere close to 300 casings. How can you be a reloader and not a brass whore? Hey Chris - you could of put more lead through the Sig if you wanted. I'll bring it again next time if you want to shoot it. How do you like 40 S&W? It is snappy but points nice. It's good for thick zombie skin.

Undecided on revolvers
I have a 6" GP100 and it's an excellent gun. I really didn't notice a difference in holding the 686 or the GP100. I think there was a 4" 686 for sale in the classifieds. I shoot mostly 38 Sp from it. 357 mags are wicked!

Beretta 92 FS vs Taurus PT 99
I was there Sat. morning from around 10:00am to 11:00. I didn't have the Sig (.40S&W Equinox)with me. I have about 1000 rounds through the Sig and it is buttery smooth. I was shooting a ruger GP100 and P95.

Reloading Component Group Buys/Club Discounts
Is there any group buy happening for Berry's? Is there any type of discount code to use for ordering? I need to order some 38 sp 158gr. plated or FMJ. I already have LSW.

shot .40 for the first time last night
What the heck is a "ghetto blaster"? The original meaning of "ghetto blaster" was the radio the homies would carry around on their shoulders in the 80's.

:) SUCCESS!!!!!!
Through a 6" GP100: I'm shooting 158gr. lead SWC with 4.2gr. universal clays. They shoot real nice, but are dirtier than a plated or jacketed bullet. I seat to 1.47 which is to the crimp groove with a light crimp. I just started trying 158gr. Berry HP with 3.9gr HP38. These also shoot nice, but shoot cleaner than lead. HP38 is the same as W231. I'm seating these to 1.40 with a light crimp. There's a lot more smoking with the lube burning off the lead bullet. This is going to make your gun dirtier.

dont pay for your gun in full, bad experience at brick amory
I have been at gun stores and the dealer will call his distributor and check stock to give a pretty accurate ship date. They also will axccept a deposit to order - not full payment. This doesn't sound like good business practice. At least BA should have been sympathetic to the customer.

I also like the .40 round. I have a Sig 226 Equinox - excellent pistol!

Transferring Handguns
No, it isn't necessarily so. The firearms legally are transfered to whoever the estate goes to which I would guess is your mother. You must under the law be considered the heir to the estate or property in question. As your Stepfather, the could or could not be an actual relation. The transfer to you could possibly be illegal under NJ law. If you have the FID card, the safest way is to apply for two PPP and get it documented. Estate law is a subject for a expect and not some taking a guess. Yea - the estate went to my mom and although she doesn't have a FID, there is no reason she couldn't legally own a firearm. I already have a FID, so I'll apply for the permits. I guess she just signs them over to me on the permit.

Transferring Handguns
My stepdad passed away during this summer and my mom has his 2 hadguns and shotgun she wants to give to me. Unfortunately, he had no will when he passed so how do I go about getting the guns legally transferred to me? She has legal right over all his posessions. I'm assuming I need to get pistol permits for the 2 handguns and have her sign them over to me? With OGM I guess I can do one pistol each month? He also has a shotgun so I imagine she can just do a transfer with the long gun. One of the handguns is a S&W 38 SP revolver from around the 70's. It has wood grips and the firing pin is part of the hammer. I'll post pics once I get it since I'm not sure what model it is. The other is a S&W model 59 9mm. I think this is mid 80's. Has anyone done this before or know the law?

How many reloaders are on this site???
The guy next to me today was shooting .223 and handing me his brass. Didn't even have to pick it up.

How many reloaders are on this site???
Yea - part of the fun is opening my range bag when I get home and seeing what I picked up off the floor. It's like a kid dumping his bag of candy on the floor on Halloween. Oh Yea!!

Turkey Hunting
Hunting turkey was a blast in the spring time. I hunted for several years in the early 90's in the vernon and Waywayanda state park area. They used to do a lottery for the turkey permits. You have to use a call and call the males in. It's easy to use a box call and they work great. No shooting hens. I don't know if the laws or permit process has changed since then. It's good to scout an area before hunting for them. Look for scratchings. A friend and I called in a small flock of birds and we both shot one. That had to be one of the best days of turkey hunting we had. It's awesome to call in a bird close enough for a shot. Turkey are very wary and spook extremely easy. Once they spook, they won't come back.

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
And Im bringing a ton of brass! Bad time to skip sigman Bro - don't give me the jones like that. I was very tempted to leave the dame snow. I think Matt wanted the 38 Sp. brass anyway. I'll take whatever he doesn't scoop up. I believe Matt has the sickness. You'll also get it if you start reloading.

Hey - I have to cancel for tonight. It's going to be too late by the time I clean the snow around my house. I'll make it next time.

I don't like the gold myself. Sig are great pistols.

Placing a Lee reloading order...
You'll be fine starting out with a turret press. Even if you get a progressive later on, you can still use the turret press for rifle or testing recipes. It's also nice to have a back up press. I've been using a RCBS single stage for a while with no problems. Granted, it isn't the fastest, but I don't mind spending a few hours by myself loading. I enjoy it almost as much as shooting. I also keep a quantity of preped cases which helps speed the process.
