I've got one on mine and I still look at ever case as I am putting the bullet on. Now, for rifle cartridges it would be difficult to see in each one. Win 231 and 9mm pretty much fill the case enough where I can eyeball and know. (Obviously I stop and check some on the scale every now and again). With the Dillon its pretty hard to get double charge, I've never used the LNL, but I'm sure its the same. So for loading pistol I don't feel the powder checker is as important as it would be for rifle. Loaded 400 rounds of 9 yesterday, hit 1000 reloads this week.

Yeah, kinda a pain, but see if anyone else is ordering from here maybe someone can add 5k for you. I just ordered some from Cabelas or else I would have bought some..

If you havent purchased from them before, check here.. http://www.thecmp.org/Sales/eligibility.htm Only have to do it once. Has nothing to do with living in Jersey.

Not a bad deal for 5k rounds. Even better deal if you have a club, it you can get your club to purchase it for you (65.00) for clubs. http://www.thecmp.org/Sales/ammo.htm

Maks, I popped back in to say the same. To us its commonplace and normal, but kids see things differently and we are responsible to ensure the safety and security of both our firearms and our families. With 2 young boys and a baby on the way its always on my mind...

11-year-old Jersey City boy shot dead in apparent gun accident, source says http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2012/02/11-year_old_jersey_city_boy_pr.html A boy playing with his parent's gun shot his 11-year-old friend dead in a Jersey City home tonight, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said. The gun belonged to a corrections officer, said the source, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak about the investigation. Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio confirmed the shooting death, but said all other details are being investigated. "We're not sure at this point whether it's an accident or a homicide," DeFazio said tonight. The 11-year-old, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene, 293 Randolph Ave., DeFazio said. The boy, who DeFazio said lived in the area, was shot at 6 p.m. Police closed off a two-block area around Randolph Ave., next to Arlington Park, as part of its investigation. DeFazio would not confirm that the gun belonged to a corrections officer, saying only that it was part of the investigation

Nice! I love my 650, also came from a lee press.. I agree, gotta upgrade that handle, so much more comfortable to bang out your reloads.

I'm gonna have a nightmare...

My buddy got his last week, took him 57 days. Call and explain that you have been waiting. He called a few times, finally the girl said she Would look into it because of the wait, called him back and said come get them. I have a guy that works for me waiting since Dec for fid from point. He called and they said they never received one of his ref letters back. They are resending.. wonder how long they would wait to let you know something is missing, if at all..

Did you try shore shot?

I haven't had any issues with any target holders we use/make. I was shooting last Monday there and one the directors came over and chatted with us. We had high targets, steel @ 200 yards less than 2' from the ground, some junk up on the back berm (in fairness these dudes were old so maybe they couldn't see that far ) a few weeks back I had a toaster out there and nobody said a word. We hang steel plates on Shepard hooks and they are like 4' high maybe? Apparently the power company guys complained about ricochets again, and this time Homeland Security had to come out. They want all target holders to be 6' high, however the 200/300 yard ones don't have to be because its close enough to the berm. I agree they are a big particular about certain things, but if it keeps the club open, so be it I guess.. I shot at the SJ range last summer and it was pretty nice, wish it was closer.. Jsmit, your welcome to come to CJ with me when you have time. (You too Shane!)

Just as an fyi, we asked for the journal to be sent home every few days so we could know how school was and if any issues, good or bad came up. Ever ask a 7 year old how school was? FINE... thats it :-). Not sure if you can read the top part, but 90% of the entries are all excellent. She does this for all students and also sent home some paperwork about putting him in an accelerated class. His issues (talking and being 7) typically arise from boredom, finishing his assignments quickly (and correctly) and chatting with classmates that are still doing the work. Our town has 1/2 day kindergarten, so last year he went to kindergarten and then to a kindergarten enrichment program after. They basically taught 1st grade stuff, so being ahead, sometimes is counter productive. Like I said, I'm not trying to bash the teacher or any teacher, I just don't agree with how it was handled. Should violence be a thought when he sees a cop with a gun? Again, I understand the background of it all and the events that took place in schools around the world, but come on already, the word used in a playful manner does no harm. Please also remember that as members of this site we are all here for the same reasons and for the love of our sport.. group hug??

Why did I wait so long to get one??? Loaded a 100 rounds of 9mm on my 650 in just over 6 and a 1/2 minutes!! I wasn't even rushing, just pumping the handle. Anyone else use one? Its surprisingly quiet..

So after talking with my son here's the scoop. He was at lunch and made a gun with his finger and said "Guuun" while letting out a burp. He does have better manners than that, however he is 7. The teacher states that it wasn't used in sentence so eliminates threats or violent talk.. I haven't spoken with the teacher yet, but I will follow the advice here and have a face to face. I didn't want this to turn into a teacher bashing thread, but I appreciate all sides of the discussion. Copy of the note in his book from the teacher Thanks for all the replies

The other thing I found weird was we had people shooting .22's with open sights, scopes, etc.. also people shooting AR's. And one guy shooting some sort of AK. Not sure how that same mix can be judged with the same criteria as far as accuracy and the riflemans patch? Shouldnt everyone have ,22's? Not complaining as I did well with my plain old ruger with tech sights, just curious. Like i said, the instruction part was awesome and I would consider doing it again if it was closer just so I could finish

I can understand her side like I said, what bothers me is that she wrote that she heard he said the word gun and "we talked about not saying violent words"

Oh man, I went from pissed to laughing.. thanks guys.. In all seriousness tho, I plan to speak to my son in the morning about the conversation with his buddy, and correct the information he was given today at school. I will then respond to his teacher.. At least now he can blame his pencils for misspellings and incorrect math ..

Question for you all. I'm not sure how to handle this, or if I am over thinking it.. My son, who is 7 was at school today and during lunch he was overheard saying the word "gun" to a buddy of his during a normal conversation (OK, as normal as any 1st grade convo goes . The teacher, not his, reported this to his teacher. His teacher sent home a note saying that he was overheard saying "gun" and she spoke with him about not saying "violent" words in school.... we had to sign the note and send it back How is gun a violent word? Its not capable of being violent. The person with a gun is capable but not the gun itself. Is it right that I teach my child to respect firearms, and teach him how to shoot safely, but his teacher tells him that guns are bad and violent, even to mention? He runs around with Nerf guns with his finger across the trigger guard and never aims above the chest. He's by no means a gun nut or obsessed. With them, half the time I ask him to come to the range he'd rather play Legos . I understand the whole guns in school issue and the violence that has happened, but the guns didn't do it, the kids did. its a sore subject and I understand that. My issue is with the way it was handled Do I send a note back and tell her that we teach our children to respect firearms and the responsibility and safety that comes along with them, or let it go??? What say you, people of NJGF?

Nice price. I just picked up 2 short 10 Rounders from 44mag.com for 36.00 shipped (shipping was $5.00). Midway sometimes is crazy on shipping costs.. Just an fyi in case someone wants the shortys.

Jimmyagr and I went last spring in South Jersey. There was a lot of story telling and history, in fact it was mostly story telling and history. I expected more shooting, instruction, range time myself, but if limited shooting and story time is your thing, then you might like it. The group that put everything on was a nice bunch of folks that lived and breathed for that organization. One of the instructors was in tears at several points during story time. While I understand his passion and respect for our country and history, at times it was a little much. Having said that, we skipped day 2, such a long drive and we felt it wasn't worth it. The actual instruction part of day one was pretty good, how to shoot with a sling, prone and proper breathing/trigger interaction. Edit to say, please don't let my experience persuade you from attending, it definitely had value and we did learn a lot.

Watch Cabelas as well, we picked up 1000 rounds for 284 shipped on sale with either $5.00 or free shipping can't remember. Was. federal 55gr black box stuff

The cop that pulled me over on 113 a few years ago confirmed it was indeed faster than 13 ;-)

I drive to NC a lot. I take turnpike to Delaware, then US 1 to 113 then 13 (Dover af base). Take 113 less traffic, hardly any lights and cuts about 40 mins off taking 13 with all the lights. Just takes you a bit more east. Stay on 113 until the end and it will turn into 13

I might be coming out on Monday, not sure what time yet
