I recently got a M1A and started to reload a lot of my previously fired 308's from my bolt gun. I was also given a bunch of once fired 308 from a LEO buddy who is a range master and collected it over the years, but never got into reloading and gave it to me. Anywho, I found that the Federal cases seems to split in the neck, after doing a full resize. I am 90% sure this batch of brass had between three and four firings from my 308. I never load too hot and my loads tend to be in the middle of the load data range. I go for accuracy and brass life. None of the Winchester or Remington cases did. FWIW - I have a RCBS motorized trimmer that has a 3 way cutting head. I just found it odd that the Federal cases were the only ones that split. I shot about 100 rounds this past Thursday and will resize and inspect those 'test cases' to see what gives. I know I have a bunch of LC somewhere around, but just didn't want to deal with the staked primers just yet.

Love my Savage 308's. Also consider the Remington 7600 / 7400 series. The 7600 is a pump action with detachable magazines. You can get 10 round aftermarket ones for about $35. In 30-06 it comes in a carbine or a 22" barrel. If you go up to Davis Sporting in Sloatsburg, you can typically find a lightly used one for under $500.

LA Police Gear is selling Frog Lube in the small 1oz tubes for a dollar each. I like the product and really like having a few of those little tubes in all my range, BOB and E and E bags. Non-toxic, smells nice and the lube versus oil won't make a mess if punctured. I also carry some CLP in range bags as well. But those small tubes are handy to have. They fit nicely in your military style butt stocks like a M1/M1A or Magpul AR pistol grip or if you use a stock cheek pad with a pouch.

My half brothers all live outside Montreal and have played in Recreational Hockey Leagues since they were little. There will be some good family infighting during that game.

The game against Russia was incredible. I tried looking up the schedule last night but the next level of qualifiers wasn't out yet nor the times of the game. I will get up at 3 am to watch a good game live.

I've used them. Just as good as Mtn House. FWIW - I look at these as supplemental meals or to be mixed in with you existing provisions. Beans, Angel Hair Pasta, Honey, Sugar, Salt, Spices, Gravy Mix makes road kill and small game go down much easier.

I'm a life member, but should see about sending in more money to them.

What is going to be funny is when and if you are allowed to get a CCW, is when the Liberals are going to opine that you shouldn't have to produce and ID or prove US citizenship to get one.

I had a lengthy interview today and might be going back into overseeing 100+ retail banking locations. Being able to use my occupation as reasonable would be awesome. The other issue is crossing state lines between NYC / NY / NJ.

Oh that's right....I remember you having issues with it. Damn, had to send the 2nd one back as well. Even once is too much for a top shelf firearm.

I put the Leupold VX-R 2x-7x on it. It has an illuminated red dot in center of the ballistic cross hairs. Really, really nice optic for a carbine. Very fast target acquisition. I have taken it off and put it on the mentioned Remy 7600. I see you also have a SA MC Operator and other toys I have. I still love my MC.

Learn something new everyday. Today's lesson is that a Bugler ='s Pontious Pilate. Who knew? Basement safe has a U-Haul Garment Cardboard box around it. Bolted to the floor and the two walls in the corner. Bedroom - night stand safe bolted to the night stand which is cabled to a lag bolt in the floor and another cable looped around the bed frame and bolted to the night stand. The idea is time...focus all you energy on this and you miss out on the low hanging fruit.

Just throwing this out there for you Space Shuttle Door Gunners. Remington 7600 30-06 pump action carbine, 150g Nosler BT's / Soft Points, ATI adjustable stock. 10 round mags (available 'cheap'). Very close to accuracy as a stock 700 (not a mod'ed precision one). Even with the OEM stock, doesn't give the appearance of a self-guided baby killer. Also, one of the most popular hunting rifles in the deep woods of the east coast. $25 for a rail and you'd be surprised at what you can have in an innocent little package. A $400 Cheapo Gen 1 Yukon Night Scope is pretty decent for some night shooting out to about 80 yards. If you reload....125 Nosler's loaded a little beyond a 762x39 energy, allows for wicked fast follow up shots via a pump action with a decent red dot on it..just sayin. PS - $65 for a nice trigger job.

In your trunk in a locked case, unloaded....should not be a problem in free states. The Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990 (18 U.S.C. § 922(q)) states: (A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone. (B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm— (i) on private property not part of school grounds; (ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license; (iii) that is— (I) not loaded; and (II) in a locked container, or a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle;

Out of all the key board commandos chiming in, how many of you have been to Trenton or DC to attend a pro 2 rally? How many have sent more then 10 emails or 10 phone calls in the last 12 months to elected representatives? If not you, then who? I saw a great sign at a Recreation Baseball Field last year that read, Before you complain, do you volunteer? We NEED everyone to be involved in an active way. A huge part of the personal issues FJF dealt with is the lack of volunteers. His downfall was how he treated volunteers.

My...key word, MY perspective on this is. Of course work on all the stupid anti / feel good legislation. Leave the 15 round as a bargaining chip.Repeal the stupid bayo-lug, flash hider crap that does nothing. Get rid of OGM. Work both sides of the aisle for Stand Your Ground laws in the privacy of your own home. SYG is the stepping stone to CCW. Plus, with all the cases pending for CCW on the Federal level, most of the ground work can already be in motion. IF, the Fed's side in our favor, then it will be a matter of pulling the ear of NJ State House to comply with Federal Laws. Most are not aware, but the NRA is a single issue organization. When the NRA used to give an A rating to Reid it drove people nuts. He used to be an A rating because he never allowed any anti gun legislation to advance to the floor while he was in control. Now, he is a traitor and lost the NRA's support. We need to be a single issue party to succeed. The NJ GOP hasn't exactly been pro-active to help us. Yes we have a few good supporters, but we need more on BOTH sides of the aisle to succeed.

Existing 2A supporters, volunteers and people that have left FJF's totalitarian leadership. Imagine a focus or an out reach committee specifically towards women? He shut that down. How about a group to work with minorities? He had no interest either as I understand it. These two groups could have a huge impact on getting the work out. And, many of these people tend to be democrats. We need this to be a two party push. Not just coddling up to the GOP.

Just an update. There is a new group forming and have the support of many current and former leaders of FJF''S group. Dots are being connected, resources tapped and people are stepping up. Give this new group a little time to get BY-LAWS, Leadership positions and Responsibilities, Area Managers and a Mission Statement in place before going public. You will see a lot of the same faces and ideas just absent FJF.

This is pretty accurate. Matty, you have NO idea what you are talking about. If you don't have a clue or even 10% of the information, perhaps you should reserve judgement. Or, look like an ass because your opinions are based on emotions versus ANY facts. His closest and longest allies leave. NOT because of a few of us voicing our concerns for his leadership, but because the man has lost touch and is a DANGER and LIABILITY to the cause moving forward. Another group is already pretty far down the road with By-Laws in legal review, domains registered and other important bedrock policies that ought to be in place to START a NFP. FJF several years down the road still doesn't want them because he wants absolute CONTROL. Tyranny.

Tom - Can you find out why the establishment of By-Laws have been postponed, delayed and ignored for over two years? Would it be because Executives would have to be named? There would be a succession process in place? He would have to have a balance of power? There would be a conflict resolution process? No By-Laws for an volunteer organization such as this is highly suspicious.

Good Luck to the Executive / Leadership Board with their meeting tonight. Just some final thoughts to please keep in mind when the water gets muddy and temper flare. Name calling and belittling people is never a good leadership virtue. The guy needs a class in public relations. There ought to be District Leaders so he isn't mired down with the mentally draining interactions with the drones out there. I wish you luck, but I don't think this old dog is going to change. It is HIS site, HIS page and HIS group. If anyone should question that, even with the best intentions, they are automatically seen as the enemy. The man has issues. Again, the majority of people on Ron's wall are very dedicated to the cause and are, or were, supports of NJ2AS. Most of us have issues with Frank's behavior, NOT the members of the group. Many are disappointed from what appears that the leadership committee is ineffective at reeling Frank in or having any type of input on this crisis. The discord is not the mission, but with the man. Have fun storming the castle - Scott Watkowski

So many of these people have no idea that they are on here which is why I posted it. And most importantly, many have done nothing wrong nor contributed a single comment for or against either party. Ironically, some on here are trying to mediate a positive outcome and now are pissed off just as GFH is.

I will PM her name to anyone in good standing with NJ2 to see if they know anything about her. Can't be 100% on anything anymore and I don't want to slander an innocent person. But there are enough odd things she has done and said. I have my doubts looking at her FB she is an op for Cryin Brian, but could behind the Shame Wall and be adding fuel the riff. Not that a woman would do such a thing.

The mole who was playing both sides have been discovered and I hope that people from both parties work together to resolve this. She, the mole wasn't the catalyst for this mess, but seems to be the one responsible for the Shame Wall. If you had read the list you would have seen some odd entries, like East Brunswick HS and some other oddities. But strangely enough, while she was an active participant in discussions, her name was NOT on that list. And people like Blue Line Fish who were not active, like many others that were listed on that Shame Wall, were listed. Some of the internet detectives have some data and as of late last night are probing further into this. So where is the meeting being held tonight now that Anthony cut all ties?

And just when you think things can't get any stranger...At least I am on another list. The madness needs to stop. We got our own version of the Hatfield and McCoys going on.
