Is .40S&W a bad beginner round?
I started with 40 and intend to get a 9mm once my funds are replenished. I see uses for both. Just consider your glass half full and get both!

Got some decent reloading results...now what?
I'm new to reloading but I've worked up a range of working loads in my .40 and .222 that group well and cycle reliably but what's the next step? For example, 6gr of Power Pistol with a 165gr JHP works well in my Sig but 7gr works ok too, just really loud and snappy recoil. Both of those are below the max load. Do all you reloaders have a chronograph? They don't look super expensive but once you get a setup that is immune to fluorescent lights it looks like a PITA. I figured once it's cycling well and is reasonably accurate you're done but I'd like to hear comments from the seasoned vets. TIA

Pistol brass of differing lengths
How are you measuring your OAL? If its with a caliper maybe YOU'RE the reason for variance (tipped ctg, pushing the jaws too hard)? Maybe your primer is not seated flush or below?

5000 .22lr $160 shipped
Nice deal. The Blazer is a little higher energy but my 22 upper doesn't much care for the unplated bullets. Federal is good enough for me at this price. That being said, I've had good experience with the CCI "Tactical AR" 22LR, if anybody sees that on sale

.45 ACP Semi-Auto
A double stack like the Paraordnance P14-45 will fill large hands nicely.

Good times, it was good to meet you all. Some of you guys have some pretty sweet hardware... Now off to clean guns for a while. Good thing I only brought two!

Oh yeah, do we bring our own targets? Frames?

Fort Dix AR explosion!
I'm an hour away but if it's fun enough maybe I'll think about joining anyway. I drive that far to work and that's no fun at all. I guess I'll just go straight to the lanes and look for some evil black rifles?

So me being a non-member do I just wait somewhere until a member shows up to guest me? Or the RO only goes around checking badges from time to time?

Ammo gifting?
Just thinking out loud here but... If he were to drive to PA and purchase ammo at a store they wouldn't ask for FID. So I don't know what difference it would make if he were to get it from you. Ammo isn't serialized or anything. Yet.

Making Pmags NJ legal?
Copied from the NRA-ILA site: Any magazine with a capacity greater than fifteen rounds is prohibited, even if there is no semi-automatic firearm to accompany the magazine unless the person has a registered “assault firearm” and the magazine is used for DCM sanctioned shooting matches

Probably not but they're a leasing juggernaut

WHERE TO GET A WELDED MUZZLE BREAK
Unless it's a special "compliant" version the 15-22 comes from the factory with a threaded barrel and a flash hider. Plus the stock is collapsible.

Take A Bullet To The Head And Survive
Don't get me wrong we need innovation but if you see it on TV it's probably either A) not new or B) hype. Especially when it come to miliary oriented products.

How is SCFGPA
Outstanding for the price and the only one in that area. Kinda lacking compared to some other clubs though. There are several threads on SCFGPA, mostly along those lines. A bunch of Forum members are members there, I'm sure someone could show you around. EDIT: from Hazlet it's closer to get to Lakewood where there are a few other well regarded ranges (I have no personal experience), keep them in your research.

Mega Billet Lowers
I thought the billet blanks were forged too? EDIT: I guess it's the difference between forging a slug and forging to near net shape. Seems they can be more selective of what material is removed when they're machining from a blank.

- What is the best type of ammo for Match/Comp ?
I thought "practice" rounds were because they aren't as consistent, irrespective of what shape the bullet was. I'm pretty sure you can find "match" ammo with FMJ (especially since some of those tuned guns get finnicky about feeding HP), but "defense" ammo will be HP or EFMJ. That being said, HP's move the center of gravity rearward which is supposed to help stability. Now someone can come in and correct me...- Firefox 4
Click and hold on the back arrow- How does a Magpul CTR friction thing work?
A bit off topic to this thread's original intent, but you can add a sling attachment to the MOE if you want to: http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum/showthread.php?2777-MAGPUL-MOE-Stock-Sling-Swivel-Modification (and other methods)- tell me about the sig sp 2022
If you got a .40 you can fire .357SIG with a barrel change (same mags) and with a Bar-Sto barrel and a new set of mags you can fire 9mm all from the same gun. - What is the best type of ammo for Match/Comp ?
