If you do get in to casting make sure you take adequate measures to avoid getting lead into your system. See Lunkers post about lead in the body. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33053-recreational-shooting-and-lead-toxicity/page__view__findpost__p__440307__hl__%2Blunker+%2Blead__fromsearch__1

Just as an added note. If you are selling HP ammo, you need to follow NJs HP transport rules. Ie make sale at your house or a shooting range. Both are exempted locations.

Heard the same. I think this is a person with an agenda. Either trying to get his 15 minutes or a guns are evil type. As far as I know no one has seen this man with a gun.

I'd just once like to see that combo of pictures on any of the main stream media outlets. Maybe the "outraged" people would let the investigators do their job before calling for someones head.

Does Ruger have any large government/PD contracts? It seems like that have a whole lot of individual support to sell that many handguns. Says a lot for a reputation.

Might want to check your facts here. The "kid" was a 17 year old 6' 3" tall football player. Z is 5' 9" and weighs 250. So the police investigated, witness statements and 911 audio back up Z's statements. So since the facts back Z, Z was not arrested because the facts so far don't justify an arrest not because the PD being a bunch of clowns.

I agree 100%. If Zimmerman is cleared, I think he should find the meanest pitbull of a lawyer he can find and go after everyone for Libel and Slander.

IIRC I think the problem with the government auction is that you have to pick them up at the depot.

I think this is actually a new addition to the form as reason for a new card.

Where is there any evidence that he engaged the kid? He was WATCHING the kid and following him to keep him in SIGHT. So when the police showed up up he would be able to say "Look there is the guy I called you about". Yeah if he had run up and anyway physically assaulted Martin, then I'd agree he made his bed so lay in it. But he didn't, he watched a person in a public area. This is why I believe that after questioning him not once, not twice, but three times the police let him go.

This really has nothing to do with SYG. Its just a spin the anti media is putting on it, and all the politicians are trying to distance themselves. If someone on top of you banging your head on the ground and you pick up a rock and clock him in the head killing him, how different does the reporting play out?

Actually it looks like Zimmerman was approached and a fight ensued. I say this because of what was said on the girlfriends phone call. And since this was released by Martin's lawyer I'm pretty sure that it was "doctored". Gun had nothing to do with the story UNTIL Zimmerman was in fear of his life. If just looking out for your neighbors by looking for something suspicious (ie neighborhood watch) is vigilantism. I find it pretty funny that the NYPD is pushing vigilantism with its "if it doesn't seem right give the PD a call" anti-terrorism campaign.

Have you listened to any of the tapes? Have you listened to what the kids girlfriend said? Here try this timeline: Kid goes out to get his skittles On the way back he stops under another apartments porch to "get out of the rain" From Girlfriends statement Zimmerman (in car) sees kid not from the complex who looks shady and calls non emergency 911. From 911 Call Has discussion with 911 operator. While talking to operator kid is looking in all directions (maybe hes lost who knows) then start to walk at Zimmerman. From 911 Call Kid starts running from Zimmerman who has done nothing other than call 911 so far. Zimmerman gets out of car and start to follow kid. From 911 Call "911 asks are you following him?" After Zimmerman says yes. 911 says "You don't have to do that" From 911 Call Anyone who takes 911's statement as an order to not follow him needs to reevaluate their understanding of the English language. At most that is a suggestion. Zimmerman loses sight of Kid. From 911 Call Next part is from human nature may not be correct but usually the person initiating contact speaks first Kid finds Zimmerman and "Asks why are you following me?" to which Zimmerman responds "Who are you?" The sequence is from Girlfriends call Notice kid does not say "Why are you pointing a gun at me?" which would indicate gun is holstered. "There are two men fighting outside someone is calling for help" from neighbor 911 call "I heard gunshots" from neighbor 911 call Police show up and see dead kid. and ZImmerman bleeding from nose and back of head, with grass stains on back of his shirt. Which the police say is consistent with Zimmerman's story of being punched in the face and then having his head banged on the ground. So another assumption from human nature. Do you call for help if you are get your a** handed to you or do you call for help if you are beating the pulp out of someone? Guy getting beat is the one that calls for help. By the injuries to ZImmerman, he is the one calling for help. So being on his back getting his head beat into the ground Zimmerman fears for his life pulls and fires his gun. So the kid didn't have a knife or gun. So what. People get beaten to death by fists every day. Sounds like a clear case of self defense to me. So let racist lynch mob continue. Can you say Tawana Brawley? Can you say Duke Lacrosse Team?

Be careful with vintage load books. Those load books were done with the powder at that time. The makeup of a given type of powder can change over the years. A lot of the changes are just CYA legal. But some are real changes. What was safe with 1960's components may not be safe with 2010 components. Don't remember the exact round, but an older load book had the maximum powder, 3 grains higher than a 2010 load book. This was for a 44 mag round.

I replaced the hammer spring to a D spring ~2k rounds ago and have not had a single FT Fire. I would not worry about replacing the stock spring for a D spring in a range gun. Note: I use mine as a range gun only. For the slightly lighter pull I would not change out the spring on a SD gun.

Deep breaths. Most shops you go to are very helpful if you let them kno.w its your first gun. Ask questions. If for some reason they give you an attitude, leave. There are other shops that would love to take your business.

Please stop speculating znd let the cops do their job. All that is known is that Zimmerman shot the boy. Zimmerman does not seem solid but I read that his head was Covered with his own blood and had grass stains on his back. The boy also was not the clean cut kid the papers are making him out to be. He was spend the week at his dad house (not his normal residence) because he was suspended for aweek from school. Should he have been shot? I have no idea. But there are plenty of question that need answers before passing judgement.

Thanks for the info. It's gonna be interesting to see if the chrono shows any difference

I wouldn't bother if I had a dud in a range ammo bulk box. I sure would call with a dud in a SD round. These need to work 100%. If the case is screwed that bad what are the chances the crimp is any good? Sure lowers the confidence that these rounds would go bang versis Kaboom or pffffttt.

I'm screwed. I'll be going broke very quickly. I work across the street

Go to shoreshot or RTSP and rent a bunch of guns. You might surprise yourself and find you like something better than what you planned on buying. Take a first steps or basic pistol course. This is money very wisely invested. There are several good instructors in the vendors section.

It really has nothing to do with damaging the plane. It has to do with you paying attention to directions of flight crew. During takeoffs and landings is the greatest chance of something going wrong.

Thank you, Thank you. Thank you.

You should know better than to try to make sense of Jersey laws.

Acts like a wadcutter. Punches a hole through target vs fmj pushing and tearing material out of the way.
