Ok I just want to make sure that I have my information correct because I think the sporting shop I want to screwed up. I have a remington 870 super mag express. I want to shoot slugs out of the stock barrel in order to shoot deer in Jersey. So they sold me a remington skeet choke and remington buckhammer lead slugs. Now I just want to make sure that the choke is the right choke, that the slug will actually be able to travel through it as to not cause any damage to my shotgun, I think it should be fine. But my biggest concern is, shouldn't they of sold me rifled slug since I don't have a rifled barrel on my shotgun?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt

so tb you think that the lee classic turret will be fine for reloading my own rifle rounds??? I just want to make sure before I got ahead and spend the coin to later find out that it really isn't a good one for reloading rifle rounds. And yes I would definitely be interested in the reloading class as well so I will keep my eyes peeled. Thanks a lot for the help thus far guys M

I'm really leaning towards that lee classic turret, just waiting to hear back from nick on him opinions based on rifle loading as I really can't afford to buy two loaders so I'd need it to work well with both rifle and pistol rounds. M

Nick, I just curious what you had heard about the lee that makes it bad for reloading rifle rounds. I've heard good things about it for pistol but havn't done much research as far as rifle rounds go. I don't think I really want to swing for a progressive right now as I think thats going to be out of my budget. I'm looking for spend no more than like 180 bucks for everything minus dies to get started. I don't mind if I have to spend some extra time reloading if it means my press is going to cost more. Thanks for the info thus far guys!

You might always want to look into the Cherry Ridge Range. Then you can shoot everything from pistol, rifle, to shotgun, to even bow kinda like one stop shopping and the yearly membership is pennies compared to paying to go to davis's range ETC. I was just talking with Malsua who is big into photography and I'm just getting started out and next time we go to Cherry Ridge were bringing the cameras to see if we can get a photo op going while were there.

Nick that sounds awesome. Do you mind if I pick it up? I live in West Milford and see you live in Sussex, I'm always in Vernon so thats only a hop away. Let me know. Matt

Ahhhh your right by the lake maybe???? I could be wrong, I tend to stay away from clinton road due to the silly hs kids that like to try and hit you in their cars

I think I'm finally going to suck it up and take the plunge into the reloading world. I think I've narrowed down my choices I'm just not sure of which to go with and then I'd like a little bit more help from you guys. These are my choices for my loaders and to start out with I will be reloading .40s&w and 7mm-08 remington Lee Anniversary loading kit http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0003080216577a&navCount=22&podId=0003080&parentId=cat20847&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat602007-cat20728-cat20847&catalogCode=9IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20847&hasJS=true Lee Classic Turret kit http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0044122216337a&navCount=23&podId=0044122&parentId=cat20847&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat602007-cat20728-cat20847&catalogCode=XJ&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20847&hasJS=true Lee Pro 1000 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0003093211015a&navCount=24&podId=0003093&parentId=cat20847&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat602007-cat20728-cat20847&catalogCode=9IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20847&hasJS=true I'm not sure if this will work with the calipers that I want to load if anyone can help me here.

does anyone know if a hunter safety course you took in NY would work for a Florida CCW. I know the hunter safety course qualifies to allow you to get a hunting license in Jersey so you would think that it would be ok.

I see you have a brother in law who works for West Milford, that's an awesome pictures BTW. What road in WM is that?

Uncle Mike's Range bags FTW! So far love mine, its made of a really heavy duty material and has a bunch of pockets to stuff all good stuff in. I think i have like 39 bucks for mine, shipped to my door.

Thanks a lot! Already submitted, does anyone know how long it takes for the stuff to reach you in the mail??

The worst part about that, is it wouldn't of been the craziest headline in NJ

This is the second link that I have found for the FL non-resident forms that doesn't work. Does anyone know if theres a new website or if they arn't doing it anymore or what the deal is. I'd like to look further into this but can't get any further than this. Thanks Matt

excellent, so the blazer brass fmj are ok for reloading b/c thats what I've been buying M

Did you happen to notice a McDonalds bag lying there? lol...maybe it was something someone threw out of their window? nope nope it was just short grass and whatever that was on the grass or the grass itself he was eating. The thing was in la la land. I could of almost gotten it with just a knife haha

well davis out in sloatsburg had the birds for 12.99 so I thought that was a decent deal so i picked up a box. And it seems the price I paid for ammo isn't so far out there for .40 s&w it just seems the price has skyrocketed from the last time I bought. Oh well. Yes, must bring camera's next time, get some good pictures of birds flying apart

In the near future I'd like to get involved with reloading some ammo so in the mean time I'd like to start preparing. I was wondering if there are certain brands of ammo which lend themselves better to reloading than others. I have been shooting the CCI Blazer Brass through my gun with no problems but I'm not sure if that's a good brass to reload so any suggestions would be helpful as I am trying to put an order together for some more ammo since I'm out. Thanks Matt

speaking of deer, does anyone know whats growing on the side of the roads at this time of year. Just tonight I saw 5 deer munching away on the side of the road. They didn't even blink, I was able to get my truck slowly pulled up to one about 5 ft. away until he finally looked up and went ohh this might not be good and then ran away. It was crazy

Yes most definitely had a blast Mal, I got back in my truck and looked at the time I was like, damn, were we really bsing for that long. It was great meeting you and once again thanks for taking the time to show me around. Tom that sounds excellent bring that baby on by. I just picked up a case of birds from rip off davis's and I just remembered I have like 2 full spackle buckets of birds from back in the day when my father use to shoot. I don't know if they will stay together when there launched, but its clay and hasn't gotten wet so should be ok, but I'll bring everything to share with everybody. Now I just need to find me some cheap ammo b/c my wallet is still hurting from spending 23 bucks for a box of 50 of .40cal blaser fmj, i almost laughed at the guy but I bought it anyway, can't have a gun in the house without ammo, thats just not American

ahh okie dokes excellent. I do have access to a sticker plotter, I can only make vinyl, not printed printed stickers so if you need a line on stickers let me know. Matt

I looked around and havn't been able to find anything, but is anyone selling stickers for the forum for us people that like to put stuff on their cars??? Thanks Matt

Hey guys, I just wanted to give a big thanks to Malsua. I had only messaged him last night on here mentioning I was looking for someone to show me around Cherry Ridge since I am a member there but have not shot there. He replied back right away, and we ended up meeting up this morning at 10:30. It was awesome, that range is really nice over there and I hope to meet some more of you guys over there as well. If anyone is ever looking for someone to go shooting with, I'm right over here in West Milford only about 15 minutes away, drop me a pm I'd be more than happy to tag along. Off to the gun store, need more bullets Matt

I have a good friend whose a Lt. in a town, and he personally makes sure he either talks to the person on the phone or in person before signing over any FID's. But then in my town of West Milford, I waited 6 months and never talked to a single person, I didn't even getting a call saying my card was in, they sent a letter by mail. Gotta love Jersey

Excellent, thanks a lot. This does help. I'm in the market for a knife for daily carry but I also want it to double as a hunting knife as well. I'm looking at knives on the small size with a gut hook for specifically gutting deers so that's why I want it small. So the length isn't going to be my problem. My problem lies whether NJ is going to determine if a gut hook is illegal. I'm thinking I might be better off just buying two knives one for daily carry and one for hunting buhhh Anyone have any good recommendations for a hunting knife that has a gut hook on it, and then a regular everyday knife??
