Shocker

Do you really see noise higher than 100? And how to you get the Fixodent (or whatever that is) out of focus when you're stopped up to 11? The gun and the tube can't be more than an inch apart, right?

Tri stone. Metal file if the wife has done something stupid with the kitchen knives. I use my calibrated eyeballs for the angle since I use a different one for food knives vs. pocket knives.

I never had an email response to my own emails but they did finally call me, and when they did it was to schedule my safety class. My winning combination was to put all their application materials in writing and just mail it to them. That way maybe there's a physical item to hold your place in line.

A while back I had the opportunity to pick up a Python for a reasonable price. I had to jump on it simply because I think that gun is a piece of art. There was no practical reasoning behind that purchase Although in all likelihood it will appreciate over the years.

Waiting for my Blade Tech holster. 4 week ETA, plus shipping

Is your compressor running when it's making warm air? Do you have a device that lets your power company cycle your compressor during peak demand? I think being low on coolant wouldn't be intermittent like you describe.

There is an empirical formula for figuring out pressure due the propellant decomposition (given initial volume, free space, grain geometry, bullet weight, blah blah blah) but you'd have to know what the exact propellant mix was. Mfr's aren't super forthcoming about that unless they have to, with competition and all. There's a lot of good textbooks on interior ballistics out there if you ever wanted to take the plunge.

Isn't the jury still out on whether PEX leeches chemicals into potable water supplies? Especially hot water?

After living in Philadelphia for 5 years I firmly believe that city should be razed and they can start over from scratch. Camden too.

If I didn't already have one...

No Sig love

Yeah I got one on fleabay but it's not here yet. I may stop by to watch and hopefully I'll be there next month to shoot.

Congrats, my first is due in September and I'm looking forward to it as well

Larger bore & chamber = more room for go-dust EDIT: looks like you can get 6-10 more grains of powder in a 2.75" 12ga versus a 2.75" 20ga.

Welcome. I don't live in Morris County but I work here Depending where you are there's Cherry Ridge, Somerset, Shongum, and the ranges nearer to NYC. No. And work days are only required the first year. After that they get you $$ off dues but they're not required.

I'm using Power Pistol (another Alliant product) for .40 and their website was WAY high on max load. I don't have direct experience for Unique and 9mm but I'd say go with the lower numbers.

Gunslick's cleaner is very mild smelling. I switched back to Hoppe's though because Gunslick doesn't seem to clean as well. Hoppe's seems to be almost all kerosene, maybe you can convince your wife you're camping? (p.s. that didn't work with my wife. but the smell keeps her out of the basement which is useful sometimes)

Thanks, that should do it.

Yes, I can't find it just by searching the NJ Legislature site. I'd like to print something for him to look at or bring to his PD. I thought it should be somewhere in 2C:58-2 or -3 but I don't see what I was looking for. And whether or not I like it is irrelevant, I'm trying to keep my buddy legal.

Anybody have it in writing...?

That's pretty much what I was thinking but I was hoping for a place I could show him in the code. I went through Title 13 Chapter 54 but I didn't find what I was looking for.

A coworker wants to receive a pair of handguns from his father-in-law, a NY resident. He is currently obtaining his Pistol Permits but when he asked his local PD how to carry out the transaction they told him "just have your FIL transport it into the state and fill out the paperwork F2F". This is not a legatee or beneficiary issue. I was positive that even though this is not a "sale" as in money changing hands, it still has to go through a FFL holder (PLUS get the OGAM exemption) but I can't find that in writing. The sticky at the top of this section has a citation but I can't figure out what it's pointing to. Can I get a citation or something to show him?

I used to use it on my AR for everything...now I mostly use it after cleaning with a solvent. Curiously I recently learned that CLP is a product category, not a specific formulation. Mil-Spec formulations meet MIL-L-63460 but it's up to each mfr how to achieve that and some are better than others. Just throwing that out there.

For those looking for Zero's I found JHP's at King's Shooting Supply in King of Prussia. $60/500 for 165gr .400 if you want to try them before committing to a case.

Thanks, guys. I guess for handgun I just want to punch paper so maybe I'm done. It's the whole "see what it can do" thing that was puzzling me, since from my little 4" barrel, most charges are pretty close in accuracy. So to put it another way: if the shots are accurate and the gun cycles with a small load what is the purpose of loading a "hot" version? OTOH, with the rifle I'm intending to get as accurate as possible, seeing as how I can't shoot animals with it in this state anyway. I like having a gun in each paradigm. I know I just scratched the surface but I have to moderate my expenses...can't buy a jug of five different powders just to try stuff. Although I'd love to.
