So I am going to start reloading 357 Mag. I have Alliant 2400 and 158 LRNFP. I do not want to exceed 1000 fps. Anyone have experience with these components with success? -Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Thanks! I got it from Tony, the Garand Guy in Rahway. Have not had one problem with it and shot it regularly for about 8 months. He stands behind his Garands 110%.

You got it. Hasn't been shot in a while due to the shortage of the CMP ammo. BH had 20 rd boxes for $11. Those days are long gone.

Here is what I currently have. Wish I have a lot of land. Hard to decide what goes to the range and what stays home. I like my wood.

Very true. I have heard from a few of my Mother's work colleagues that they would definitely use that to their advantage that you made "Killer Bullets" if the family decided to sue you, and they had the right attorney. They would throw that into the faces of the jury instead of the fact that he/she broke into your home and attempted to assault you and you defended yourself. Not even worth it IMO. I will see my Mother on Sunday. I will ask her if she can find an actual case like this in Jersey and update the post.

True to what most people are saying. I was at BH and someone next to me was firing a Hi-Point 45. It was ugly and was jamming up about once per mag. Then his friend who seemed more experienced was complaining on the weight and how inaccurate it was and he should get rid of it. After a conversation, he let me try it. I have to admit, it isn't the nicest gun I have fired. It was very top heavy, awkward and wasn't too accurate (not to say that I am a sharpshooter ). Good thing is they stand by their pistols 100% with a warranty. I know the saying "Everybody has the right to defend themselves, even those with less money" but if I knew that my gun jams once every mag, I still would feel a little defenseless.

Have a 9mm in the night stand. All of my guns in the locker have the ammo on the shelf ready to go (When ze Germans come...or Zombies). I usually keep a half mag loaded for all others on the shelf in my closet. My Fiancee and I are not preparing for some invasion or war, but strongly believe that when something goes down such as a major attack, natural disaster, etc happens, we may need to protect ourselves, friends, family and neighbors. For the things you don't think about is what we prepare for. We are going with Food Insurance as well as simple survival items like water purification, MREs, tool kits, first aid kits, crank radios and flashlights, etc.

Funny I say the same thing when I see a ANJRPC bumper sticker. A) I wonder what he's packing B) It's like a pull me over and give me the 10 fingers on the fender deal. C) In your driveway your car says guns in the house for all who wish to steal them. Had a friend who used to hang his rifle's on a rack on his upstairs wall for the world to see. He still misses those guns and wonders what happened to them. :doh:

Did a lot of shopping around and went back to the first place I visited which was Meltzer's. Wasn't totally sure on what I wanted but figured a 9mm. Was looking at CZs, Sigma, Glock... Saw a nice S&W 3913. Put a deposit on to hold, went to Sunset Hill to test out the same gun and called them up on the way back. I find Meltzer's hit or miss. Some days, the guy behind the counter want to open the cases and show you everything they have. Other times, they sit on their stools watching you. First thing I did was put Hogue grips on it. World of improvement.

I gave them a second chance last week and picked up my first Yugo Mauser. M98, nazi bolt. I actually like the place now and plan on going back to pick up a side by side 12 guage, M38 and a search for a K98 Mauser (any on here for sale?? ). Key is get there early so they don't close on you.

Wow. I read through that whole thing and completely understand. I am a big supporter of "common sense". If I was working at BA and you called to cancel and then a few hours later, the pistol came in, common sense would be to just give the customer a courtesy call just to let them know that it came in and a simple apology would have made a world of difference. Give the customer an option, you know? If I have read the posts correctly, it seemed as if the Glock did come in before you called to cancel and was pretty much already sold. If that is true, that is totally d*ck on their part. I have an issue with patience. I find myself getting anxious for a transfer to come in and checking and rechecking the tracking numbers online. Fast forward two weeks and it is sitting in the safe with his buddies waiting for me to take it out to go shooting.

JG Sales has some awesome prices on the 92FS. My friend got his about a month ago. Looks practically brand new!

Very nice. I think my mind is now made up. Thinking about the 4" barrel.

Considering a Taurus Tracker 357. Anybody have any feedback? -Thanks.

I live in Hackensack and drive to Elmsford NY, Westchester for work. Usually a little traffic at 9am in Fort Lee near the bridge. One I get to the Pal Parkway, no traffic at all. By 9:30am when I cross the Tap, it is clear with no issues. There is sometimes a lot of traffic on 287 West towards the bridge from Westchester into Rockland.

Finally took her for first shots at BH. Heh...not a big fan of it's performance. Maybe just needs some breaking in?

I got screwed and was told only one permit a month. PD rejected two of the three applied for.

Usually it is 3-4 weeks for a permit in Hackensack. The people there genuinely care about the process and seem to be pretty much on top of it. I think this is stemming from some mis-information from the State Police. And yes, they expect us to pay $18 + $2 for each permit now. I just hope everyone get's educated on what "one gun a month" really means. It's unfortunate that the economy will suffer. I was planning on getting a Rock Island 1911 and a 357 this month. Still shopping for the 357.

I hate the expression "Ginormous".

I recently turned over a Sig bb gun to the PD. I have a pumpmaster still in the closet. Pretty fun.

Yup, Sergeant Levis.

So I got an email from Scott Bach ccing Dan Schmutter. They are going to contact me to get some more info. I called the Sergeant who is a very nice guy. He said this is the law and he even called the State Police which confirmed this as the law but could not provide anything in writing.

Nice! I checked a while back and they only had the 9mm. Thanks.

There is a thread around here somewhere about the ANJPRPC asking anyone who experiences this to contact them. Just sent the NJ Field Rep an email. Will keep you posted on what happens.

I just called the Clerk and said I have to take it up with the Seargent. :doh:
