Jersey Joe

Serious...I only shot once Dave, but I am serious Glenn and I split a bunch of supplies so I'm almost good to go. My father is making me a stand for it so that should be the last piece of the puzzle. Oh...and I have no place to shoot it yet! I sent a request for membership to Somerville a while ago but never heard back.

I think a live draft may be tough. I suggest online with a draft robot option. That gives us the flexibility to either get together, draft from the comfort of a couch at home, or if something happens that a person can't do it at all the draft robot picks his team.

Just stick with the website defaults and you'll be fine. I've run leagues for years so if you "get stuck" I'll be glad to assist. Thanks for stepping up!

Can anyone recommend a place where I can fish while my family can do the beach thing? The LESS South the better as it's just gonna be a day trip from Hunterdon County. I'm thinking Jetty fishing. If there's a boardwalk even better. LMK. TIA! JJ

Ray...you probably meant to type BASKETBALL, not football!

As long as I'm not the Commish and I can make the draft count me in.

I think GlennP went over this with me at the range, but I need some clarification. If I buy a black powder pistol off of Gunsamerica from a private party, could it be shipped to my house and not an FFL? I think not, but holding out hope TIA JJ

Is the Hornady warranty any good? I see their CS ranges anywhere from good to not so good.

Agreed. I follow the advice of(I'm guessing here)most financial planners: diverse portfolio that changes as your goals change. That may be the case now, but I don't think that was the case 3 or 4 years ago. The whole nation seemed to be over extended. That is why the banks have reeled in the risks and are playing very close to the vest with personal and small business loans(for now). That sounds pretty slick(no pun intended)! My luck would be that they find out the Flux Capacitor actually works and there is no need for oil Not us North Jersey Italian types my friend. When we find a stoop we like...we're here for life

Great post sir. I would likely take the investment property plunge myself as I agree that it is a good time if you're not concerned about liquidity. Values in the states she mentioned are numerous, but my turn off there is that I don't want to be an absentee landlord. Yes, I know you can hire property mgrs but that cuts into profits as well. Your take on the generational impacts is eye opening. I've got two young kids and I am already worried for them.

I know this probably should have it's own thread, and may have been covered elsewhere but...How does the LnL compare to the Dillon 550? I've read Dillon CS is awesome, I know the two presses are not apples to apples so to speak, but they are about the same cost I think. Feel free to flame BTW...I have no experience reloading rifle/pistol but do reload most shotgun gauges using MEC presses. Looking for first pistol press sooner than later.

"the U.S. government is buying time to get its fiscal house in order." Really? There is no reasonable explanation as to how this will be achieved...that I know of anyway. "U.S. household debt service burdens have fallen to 15-year lows, and at five times income, household net worth is back to its long-term average. This is good. This is healthy. But this also means that we’re at a place where it has historically been manageable to take on more debt." So, we are finally pulling ourselves out of a hole, lets jump right back in. Also, I don't recall reading anything about unemployment. Why would I risk purchasing a house if my job status is questionable? At his point, I don't know if anyone has a rock solid job. Of course, I don't know Jack-All about finances and could just be completely off base. But, I sleep better at night knowing I have zero debt except what's left of my mortgage. I know I'll never get rich, and wealth building is slow without taking some risks, but until I see some real positive changes in this country I'll trudge along slowly :-)

I wish I shared her optimism.

I'm guessing it would be something pretty easy to automate these days. As far as precision I think a lathe could handle it. My father worked as a machinist in the Navy yards of Genoa back in the forties and still works on lathes and milling machines in his basement at age 89. He has done things with lathes that are more pieces of art than anything else. Amazing stuff at incredible tolerances all by hand. I remember helping him with a job he did for Bulova making tiny cams and such for time pieces. I'm babbling now

I was turned away. An officer came out to my car. Looked at it, asked me where I was from, asked to see my guns, shook his head and told me to go back home as, "this is for JC residents only!".

The shells are made by Rocky Mountain Cartridge. Their website says they are lathe turned by a solid bar of brass. Magtech I believe are extruded.

Thanks guys. Your posts were very helpful. Looks like I'm missing a piece to the crimper, the tube that goes between the lever and the rotating handle. I guess the brass shells are simply primer, powder, wad, shot, card. I have to read more about it before messing with it. I'm not sure which primers to use. The company that sold or made the brass shells is still in business so I'll give them a call. I'll post back after I get into it a little more.

I bought a sXs 10ga from a forum member and he gave me a bunch of brass shells, wads(card?), and some reloading stuff. Here is a picture of everything and I'm hoping someone can school me on it. Thanks in advance.

PSG-1 if I could get approved for the mortgage...

I have the Thunderbolt. While on the mobile site there is an arrow on the upper right corner. Click that and you get some options. One of the options is "view new content" ... YMMV

Just bustin' your stones Dave. I bought a 10ga SxS off a forum member about a year ago. Never shot it. He also gave me a bunch of reloading "stuff" that I'm not too familiar with. There is some kinda rig that looks like it's for loading shells individually. I think there are some brass shells also. Next time we meetup I'll bring it so maybe you can school me on how it's done.

His stock changes all the time so you have to check in with him periodically. It's not a huge stock either but he can get you whatever you want.

I guess there's no need to pluck them afterwards You should bring your Walker as backup in case they charge...

I've dealt alot with Jim and yes A+++ guy. I'll be picking this up tomorrow 870 Goodness
