  1. Zoellers are expensive but well worth it. Have 2 going nonstop in my basement since around 2 this morning. No water
  2. Just returned from an outdoor wedding in Union county. No big deal just rain. So on the way back I check and find that all roads in Union are for emergency vehicles only. I had absolutely no trouble driving home. I really beginning to get pissed at all the time and money our this S**thole state is wasting keeping us "Safe".

    This whole thong is turning into a major cluster f**k. I'm beginning to wonder if any one can think for themselves. News tells people to stock up on food and water so the lemmings run out and buy everything in sight. Supermarket shelves are empty, Make sure you have food for 3 days? Why? If you wind up needing 3days of food it will be spoiled by the time you need it. Just another "Storm of the century" media blitz. Use some common sense folks Oh and as to the economy watch how much of these neccesities are returned on Monday.
  4. Great it's going to wash into my backyard.
  5. I'd like to be included also Thanks
  6. Took 30 years to find someone who could put up with me. 16 years later and she still does. I found a saint
  7. That range really scares me. I would never go back there. Claustrophobic is being generous, breathing in there seems dangerous. Between that and all the low hanging shot out, pipes, never again. Other ranges I have been to are much better.
  8. Gun for Hire has a First Steps program that is targeted to women. This would probably be a good place to start. As to what gun? I would also recommend a .22 or a .38 special, both of these are fairly easy to handle and won't scare her from continuing to practice. If you really want a SD gun for first gun go with a 4" .357, She can learn with the .38 loads (and use them for SD) or later on if she can handle them, use .357 loads.
  9. Hey lets lay the blame for this crap where it belongs. First. We've got the most poorly worded general gun laws possible. ie "include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances." Second. They then throw on the Handgun Permit Process that should have gone away with the advent of NICS. Third. Just for yucks ram through a 30 day law at midnight without any thought of its repercussions. Fourth. Administratively change enforcement of that law whenever. How's about making laws that are straight forward and there is very little chance for interpretation. You can't blame Shoreshot for trying to stay out of trouble.
  10. Never trust a single source for a load. When multiple sources have very similar loads you can be confident that when you make up a starting load, you aren't gonna hurt yourself. Lyman is good, the Hogden/Winchester/Imr website is good, and there is a database Reloader's Reference that pulls load data from multiple sources.
  11. I have a TLR-2 on my HD gun. Like others have said the laser is a little difficult to sight in. Also I have had some issues with the laser part of the light also. After 3 or 4 range sessions, the laser in mine stopped working. Streamlight fixed it free of charge but it kind of made me leery of relying on it. If I had to so again I'd get the TLR-1. The light is very good, and allows you to keep 2 hands on the gun.
  12. Just a distinction: You'll apply for a Firearms Purchaser ID card which lets you buy long guns and ammo, and pistol ammo in NJ, not a license. You will need the FPID and a Pistol Purchase Permit for each handgun you intend to buy. You can rent a handgun and purchase ammo (for use at the range) at Shore Shot with no FPID card.
  13. Mostly the ammo you use will depend on what you use it for. Almost any ammo that you buy at a store will work in a quality gun. For range use Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) is the way to go as it is relatively cheap and readily available. Hollow points and all the variants on them are better suited for Home Defense and tend to be much more expensive. Read some reviews on prospective HP ammo. Buy a box and try it out at the range IN YOUR GUN to make sure it feeds and fires reliably.
  14. Well I guess this is a silly question but here goes, Did your second reference even get a letter? And if he did, did he send it back already? Stuff gets lost in the mail all the time, it's just a fact of life when they move billions of pieces a day.
  15. At least the story was not a hatchet job. I think the victim (the car owner) said all the right things, and I hope no charges get pressed.
  16. That's a great way to start. Get the progressive but only do 1 round at a time until you get the hang of the basics. Once you are comfortable, then start doing multiple operations at once.
  17. Yes Vinny is a good guy to deal with. If buying new, do a price request, Vinny often meets or beats the online prices and no transfer fee if he gets it for you.
  18. Also curious, I'll be starting a new job in 2 weeks.
  19. If you get an LNL, make sure you take a lot of time and care cleaning it when you initially unpack it. A lot of problems pop up if you don't get the packing "grease" off of everything. If you plan on changing calibers regularly get a bunch of the die collars. I just store the dies in the collars so when I want to switch Just pop out current die set from the press, pop in the new set, make a few small checks and adjustments and I'm up and running.
  20. Condolences to the families of these brave men. Correct me if I'm wrong, but why would Navy Seals be on a Chinook? I thought the Navy used the CH-53 for heavy troop movements?
  21. It's a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card . You don't even need one to own a gun. So as BRaptor said taking wife to the range and letting her shoot is Good to Go.
  22. This is your problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a .22 rifle isn't fun (it is), but when you shoot a lot reloading can save a lot of money. For me its usually ~$5-10 cheaper for 50. With a good press you can turn 50 rounds out in ~10 minutes.
  23. The seater die that comes in the 3 die sets is a taper crimper. After adjusting the seating depth you turn the die body down a little more to set the crimp. The more you turn the die the tighter the crimp, but if you overdue it you can crush the brass.
  24. I use the following setup on the LNL 1 size/decap. 2 expander 3 powder fill 4 RCBS lockout 5 Hornady seat and crimp I have had no issues with feeding or setback using the Hornady seat die The lockout die has saved me a couple of times. I highly recommend it.
  25. No such thing. All tools are replaceable, people aren't. Use what you got at the time, stop the threat THEN worry if you are going to lose a gun. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
