Speer Reloading Manual #10, pg. 204. Yes, care should be taken with big cartridge capacities and tiny bores when selecting powders. But I've always found 4064 to be a very versatile powder. I've found this this same load on the ReloadersNest forum and HandloadersBench forum website.

I think some of the folks of NY were taken completely by surprise. In a state that has about a million registered pistol permit holders, a state that recognizes concealed carry holders, a state that doesn't consider a blackpowder muzzleloader or pellet gun a firearm, it's easy to understand how some might be lulled into complacency. Legislators tiptoed cautiously so as not to endanger hunter's firearms so any action they implemented would not be too much of a burden. (As long as Hiram can hunt deer with his thutty-thutty next season, things aren't so bad, right?) Tomorrow, the State's Helpline, 1-855-LAW-GUNS will be available to NY residents so they can make inquiries about registrations, transfers, etc. and get any of their questions answered. I can only imagine how well that will go. Cuomo's & NY's move is going to embolden others. As a border state to NY, and a state that is less 2A friendly than New York, it would not surprise me to see NJ following in similar fashion. I'll play devil's advocate; compared to NY, here in NJ, what can you hunt with a centerfire or rimfire rifle? (I know what, but per F&G their use and scope is still very limited.) I know what recreational activity you can use them for, I know why you would want one, and why based on your 2A rights you should have one. "But, why do you need a rifle?" many would ask. If NJ were to enact any new legislation, what do you think they'll put restrictions on first following NY's lead? This situation is disturbing. (If Corzine were Governor right now, what do you think would be happening?)

The Green Mtn. folks are still very pro-gun. Some of those little towns there haven't lost their charm. Others have gone the way of outlet stores. America's favorite pastime: shopping.

There are idiots everywhere, even in New Jersey. Take yesterday's example for instance: http://www.nj.com/cu...shoots_14-.html Father accidentally shoots teen son in face in South Jersey hunting accident SHILOH — A 14-year-old boy was flown to Christiana Hospital this afternoon after his father reportedly shot him in the face while hunting near Cook Road in Stow Creek Township, according to N.J. State Police, Bridgeton Barracks. The father was reportedly hunting with a 12-gauge shotgun when, attempting to shoot a deer, shot his son in the face with a single pellet of buckshot, police said. The accident occurred shortly before 12:30 p.m. The father and son are from Greenwich Township in Cumberland County. The boy is listed in stable condition and his injuries are non-life-threatening, officials stated. According to police, the buckshot pellet struck the boy's face under the eye and exited through his cheek. State police have placed the N.J. Division of Fish and Wildlife in charge of the investigation. State police said they will not file charges, as they deemed the shooting as accidental. Saturday marked the final day of permit shotgun season in Zone 27 for white-tailed deer, as dictated by the Division of Fish and Wildlife. In New Jersey, hunting zones are segregated by the Division Fish and Wildlife with differing sets of regulations for groups of zones.

They've happened before. People are stupid & careless. It's unfortunate. The press is ravenous enough to devour these stories in the wake of the last week's events. What bleeds, leads. Bloomington - 2011 http://www.pantagrap...1cc4c03286.html Denver - 2010 http://www.thedenver...ctim-identified

"Pump fire" is probably the more appropriate term to use. The bolt is in battery when it fires.

Wax is relatively soft, and will melt at lower temperatures than crayon. Crayons are a bit harder, just test one by scratching it with your thumbnail. I tested my rounds in July, in eighty degree temps that day. Nothing softened being out in the heat. As I said in an earlier post, I was surprised how well they shot. If you use a shot cup that forms a tight gas seal in the hull, nothing is going to slide down the bore. I further ensured mine would go nowhere and no loose shot would infiltrate by cutting the hull to allow a nitro card to sit in the hot mixture to cover it and seal it, then curled the edge of the hull inward with a crimp operation. Note: Perform any of these examples at your own risk.

Legal. Win. M12, early Ithaca M37, Stevens, Savage pumps all had this "feature." M500's & 870's have a disconnect that prevents this today.

Kimber & S&W S/S's are Turkish-made. Both are out of production I believe but can be found now as used propositions.

The melted Crayola crayons worked as expected first time out for me. Loads performed flawlessly. The crayon hardens quickly and I had no pressure issues. All of the spent hulls I have from my first outing can be used again. The only downside with the processing was that it was tedious and messy. I tried a few in my workshop and crayon is damn stinky and a bit smokey when melted. I moved my production outdoors after that.

Never. Legal methods for taking deer were shotgun & bow; season and legal methods then expanded to include muzzleloaders in 1978, then legal methods expanded once again to include crossbows in 2009. That doesn't mean anyone never tried though.

Excellent!

Hmm, I'll have to add this powder to my stock. Looks interesting. I've used SR4759 with good luck in the 7mm Mag. for reduced loads, and of course Unique. For a mid-power load that's easy on the shoulder that is still potent for hunting at ranges under 200 yds., try starting with 43.5 grs. of IMR4064 with the 175 gr. bullet. Duplicates the factory 7x57 Mauser load (2,200 fps) and it's fun to shoot without the three-foot flame.

NY's SAFE Act FAQ's (an interesting if not confusing read) http://www.governor....gun-reforms-faq

Will Jemino, New Jersey resident, a regular poster on NewJerseyHunter, and a survivor of 9/11, is to be a guest on Hannity tonight as well.

That is the only state I've hunted where deer will flee at the sight of a pickup truck. It dawned on me they must get shot at a lot. Those Green Mountains where I hunted are full of "Deliverance-types," and everyone claims to be an ancestor of one of the original Green Mountain Boys. Gotta love Vermont. Typical "homesteaders":

Not that I'm a fan of Dick's Sporting Goods, but I was told that they are shipping their NY inventory of semi-automatic rifles like the 10/22 to their Paramus store from their Rockland and Orange County stores today or tomorrow.

The New Haven, CT guns are good shotguns. You just won't find as many after-market accessories for them as you would the Remington or the Mossberg. Used, they can usually be found for an attractive price.

Yes, you can, but I don't know anyone who makes factory ammo for the .22-250AI unless it's from a custom ammomaker. You can shoot regular .22-250 Remington rounds in your .22-250AI barrel and they will be fireformed to the correct chamber dimensions once fired. All you need then are .22-250AI dies with which to reload. Accuracy will be better with the reloaded .22-250AI rounds due to a better chamber fit. ALL Ackley wildcat cartridges are designed to be fired in their parent chamberings. http://www.reloadinghelp.com/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=24

That's an easy one to answer. This bill does not to appear innocuous to hunters; six (6) is already the maximum number of rounds you can have in your centerfire semi-auto deer or varmint rifle when hunting. For manually-operated arms, Grandpa's old Marlin or Winchester "thutty-thutty" has a 6 rnd. magazine. Grandpa's Savage 99 has a 6 rnd. magazine. Most turnbolts have a 5 rnd. magazine. Your Remington pump's 760, 6, 7600, etc. have a standard 4-rnd. magazine, etc. Recalling Cuomo's ranting speech that included the statement, "how many bullets do you need to kill a deer," this bill doesn't offend the 600,000 residents and the 50,000 non-residents too much who hunt in the state. Hunting is as much a tradition as gun ownership is a right. For many though, the two blur at times. Keep the hunters placated, and onerous legislation gets passed easily, which proves legislator's are not that dumb. They know enough not to cut off their nose to spite their face. I don't think many saw or heard this one coming though.

There are five NSCA ranges to shoot in New Jersey that also host tournaments: Cedar Creek CJR&P Griffin & Howe @ Hudson Farm M&M Hunting Preserve Quinton Sportsmens Club

The new X-bolt is out with a lot of flavors now, but you would be limited by after-market accessories offered when compared to the R700 or Savage. http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/finder.asp?f1=023B
