  1. Agreed. I tend to use .231 which won't fill the case completely but you can instantly tell that you'll have too much. If you really want to be safe you can use some trailboss, one charge will fill the case, two charges will create a mess And yes Frank I know I'm a wise man, it's why I rock
  2. I've always just used rcbs dies for my rifle and I like them a lot. I have a square deal so I have the proprietary dies by dillon and I like them a lot. Though I did use a friends 550 with dillon dies and I was extremely impressed with the finished product. IMO I would buy the dillon die setup and call it a day. I look in my cases as I load to check my powder, there really is no need for a powder check die IMO I would save the money on the powder die and buy the slightly more expensive dillon dies, I think you will be extremely happy. PS excellent choice on the press, I'm slightly jealous PSS if you have the money, you might as well order the case feeder because I give you 6 months before you order it anyway
  3. Yeah I was just running mine tonight on the creek behind my house and the rooster tail is pretty crazy. I want to get it out on my lake to really be able to open it up and do some testing and tuning but I just havn't had time to drag the canoe out onto the water and run the boat. Maybe when I get back from vacation. And planes and heli's you got guts man. At least when things go bad with the boat, it doesn't fall out of the sky :0
  4. Bought the rest of my rigging finally. The only thing left to buy are going to be my halyards and I have to get those custom made which will probably be another 150-200 dollars. I'm currently at 1070 for the project thus far, and I'll need to spend another 350-400 dollars on paint so hopefully I come in under like 1600 bucks for a finished product I'm hoping. Got the top all finished, now I need to tackle the bottom and then start prepping for paint. YAYYY!!
  5. I really wish it didn't get so dark so early, I need to do some serious shooting! Maybe Friday after work before I leave for vacation!
  6. Troy is north of the problems and should be able to jump across at greenpond, go north to canistear and make it to cherry ridge. Though I don't know what canistear looks like.
  7. When your testing and tuning with props and pipe lengths and stinger depths etc we use the gps to get our Max speeds to know if what your doing is improving the situation or not. I'll get some video next time I take it out they are a blast to run.
  8. Light strikes are due to the fact the wolfs are a military primer so they have a heavier cup aka wonderfully perfect for M1 Garands. Though I've never had a light primer strike in the thousands of primers I've used.
  9. HAHAHA something like that, I love my wolf primers and I stocked up when I could buy them at 17 dollars shipped to my door per thousand. You can't beat that price. I actually wish I had more large rifle and large pistol as that's what I've been shooting but I ran out of money. I was waiting for someone to notice the stockpile.
  10. Tony it doesn't look like a lot because 80% of the stuff is under the bench. What you don't see is my extensive collection of brass, along with all of my other tumbling stuff on the other side of the room etc. I've seen condensed the primers to half the shelf instead of the whole thing by stacking two deep. I also have one box full of primers that need to get to timmay so that'll free up some space as well. As soon as I get this crackerbox boat finished I'll have a ton more room. This is what's occupying the bench right now: And this is the other one: M
  11. people don't build homes in flood areas, those homes have been built there for YEARS before they become flood prone areas. It's only when nj stopped investing in infrastructure like taking take of their rivers to prevent silt build up, or when they put dams in places to create reservoirs where there never should of been a dam built in the first place do you then introduce houses to areas that are flood plains. A lot of the flooding problems in the pequannock wayne are could be solved with two things. The first would be to clean up all the shores of the passaic and other rivers or debris and silt. This will give the rivers a higher capacity to carry water thus reducing floodage. The other would be to lower all reservoirs that have dams to create holding tanks so that the lakes can hold 3-5 feet of water thus soaking up all that run off. If they did this for Pequannock the amount of flooding it would of reduce would of been astronomical. They only opened up the Pompton Lakes dam on Friday by then it was entirely too late because that water made it's way into pequannock and lincoln park, so when the real rain came, those towns were just destroyed.
  12. Well as my reloading process has expanded I have quickly out grown my 8ft long reloading bench. So I decided to go out and pick up two 4ft long shelves to add into the mix. And I have already filled this up quite quickly. Currently the white boat is off, and there is a jig setup with another boat under construction so that takes up 4ft of the bench by itself. But once that's finished it will be nice having 4ft of bench left over to start prepping things and having a clean spot to clean my guns. Already thinking about possibly buying another shelf but don't know if it'll be too cluttered and I hate clutter. M
  13. Agreed with Halb. First line of defense is foundation drain, along with some form of damproofing on the exterior of the foundation. We spec the houses out this way, not going to say if the contractor built it that way.
  14. there is a cherry ridge hot line number, i don't know it off hand, but it is listed on the cherry ridge / anjrpc website. BUT last time they had this happen they didn't want any help due to "insurance" reasons and they hired a company to do most of the work. But it wouldn't hurt to call.
  15. Was not an NJGF decision, this was a Bullethole decision. Just an FYI before certain people start stirring **** in the wrong direction.
  16. I'm sure they are completely f'd. I'm sure major wash out damage along with at least the 200/300 covered roof needing repairs like last time along with all the benches being washed away etc etc.
  17. Well I just made it home from my fantastic adventure to Massachusetts this weekend. I left this morning at 11am knowing that the tap was closed but knowing that bear mountain was still open and it's arteries leading away from bear mtn were still open. I made fantastic time up til the point where I got over bear mountain and it went downhill quickly after that. It seemed like every time I went West to go down South there was another tree or a washed out road. But luckily my country blumpkins were out in force today with their tractors and cleared this one car wide road on their own which then lead me into downtown greenwood lake and I was able to make it home. I'm very happy that I left this morning instead of leaving tomorrow like I thought i was going to change my plans. If I did, I would of never made it out of MA as all of their roads were getting ready to flood as I was driving past them. So far here we've had nothing but wind, no damage, and still have power.
  18. his shop is about 20x10, lacks a personality and mostly everything in there seems to be black plastic. But he does have a semi decent handgun selection though I was in there over a year ago
  19. You also need to realized that the flooding this year was in the spring time when the ground was completely saturated which adds a whole different level of problems than what we have right now. Currently the ground is slightly saturated but most of it is going to act as a sponge. It's going to create a lot of rain to start causing flooding unlike in the spring time where a little bit of rain will cause flooding. Now if it rains like it did a few months ago when we had that severe flash flooding thats a completely different story. But I for one don't see us having flash flooding nor do I think we are going to get the 12 inches of rain they are predicting. But I'm not a weatherman and I've definitely been wrong before.
  20. The unfortunate part is a lot of the flooding is due to stupid people. For instance the dam on hamburg turnpike. They know every spring that there will be flooding. Yet they do not open the gates and let the water down in that huge lake to then allow the water run off to run into the lake and refill it. Instead they leave the lake at capacity so this way as soon as we have rain, the lake starts to flood. Then they go ZOMG'S we can't flood out oakland, so lets open the gates and flood all of pompton lakes, pequannock, pompton plains, and all of route 23 in the wayne/pequannock area and are you ready for the reason MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. That's right gentlemen the reason they don't use common sense is money because that lake is in fact a reservoir and they get paid for every drop of water that goes over that dam. So if they let the lake down in preparation they view it as throwing away money. Isn't this country grand? Makes me sick
  21. I won't even have to take it off the trailer, it'll just float up off of it. Success, for once I'm prepared except I won't even be home oh well
  22. I'm going to go on vacation to Boston for the weekend LOL
  23. The RCBS case prep center is supposedly super quiet. Mine will be here tonight you can bet your but that I'll have it out and use it tonight so I'll let you know. Let me know how that trimming head works, I may pick one up for 30-06 and 308 b/c im just that lazy lol
