Tumbling with Steel Media... WOW!
Tony, I have the same tumbler. I just happened to de-prime about 2K of .40 brass and another 2K of 9mm last night and ready to start the tumbling process today when I get home from work. One thing I do, is cut back the water by about a cup to a cup in a half from the recommended amount. I use 2 table spoons of Dawn and 1/4 table spoon of lemi-shine and only tumble for an 1hr 45min to 2hr's and see no difference compared to tumbling longer. Also for .40 I tumble 400-425 cases at a time and 9mm I'll do about 500 at a time, thats the reason I use less water, doing more cases at a time and reducing the weight being the number of recommended cases is only for weight reasons and wear and tear on the motor. So save on the lemi-shine and use less (less is more here)

Reloading setups: Minimum equipment to buy
Nice job Jon, must of been a slow night at work.. I'd just recommend a dial Vernier Caliper over a digital one, but I did grow up with my father owning a machine shop so I was never allowed to touch a digital one. lol Oh, and if I ever touched an adjustable wrench, I would be seeing stars and hearing tweety birds as I got up off the ground. lol

Is this common at Gun Shops?
Dave, do clubs really have to give the names of the members or only the number of members. I thought that any club that only collected either Cash or Check and not CC payments were exempt from disclosure of the members names.

Just started... and i can't stop.
Yea, I'd bet that would be a little light, probably below Minor PF, but not a bad place to start. Id see if you might want to bring it up to a OAL just a tad, try 1.125 and the same 3.2gr and make up about 10-20 of them. Then make up a another 10-20 at 3.4, 3.6, 3.8 and 4.0 and bring them Saturday and lets Crono them and see how they work. 5 Stove Pipes out of 80 rounds is making me think that it's not cycling the gun properly.

Pistol Or Rifle under $250
Sure you can, as you see from the above 2 suggestions, but help us out, what do you want to do with it? That can help narrow it down a little.

Mountain lion sighted in Bergen County?
When out at the house in AZ a shotty is all that's needed. I agree, younger and faster days of our youth you could catch them and man could you toss them far, but wouldn't try that these days.

I see your side by side 1911...
I'm in the same boat with ya on that.. lol

GFH Urban Carbine 1
Probably a tough question to have answered, most people if they took it at one school I would think they wouldn't take the same class over at another one. That and this question while valid is probably not good to shall we say put one Forum Vendor against the other. I would probably say, they are both great and each have their advantages and disadvantages and the only other comments you may see if Vendor support. I know who I would recommend hands down, but that wouldn't be fair to the other vendor being I have never take any classes with them.

Rich folks steaing our beach access in NJ?
While I would probably take that point of view if I live at the shore, I do think it's funny, I have been all over the world and at some fantastic beaches and I'll tell ya, I never paid to get on any beach other then when I am in NJ..

Beretta 92FS or Taurus PT92
1911's are easy to field strip but that aside, 9mm 1911 while to some is Taboo, they do serve a purpose. Cheaper to shoot, also for USPSA while you score Minor PF, you can have 10 rounds in the Mag, unlike .45 and Major PF where you are limited to 8. Heck I have a 1911 in 22LR and it's one of my favorite guns to shoot.

Corrected that for ya..

Anything wrong with driving around with an unloaded long gun in the trunk?
Who cares, it's legal, and why have the case locked if your just traveling in state. Closed and fastened and unloaded is all that's required..

Will National CCW reciprocity ever happen?
Glass half full here, YES..

Knockdown steel @ OB
Get you butt to the range early, if I were you I'd shoot for 0830, and with how you are always running late that will put you there around 0900. LOL We can't shoot before 0900 anyway, but get there so we can Crono a few rounds before the match. I always have the Crono in my car.

Ammo Group Buy Poll
Cool, I'll have to drop on by and see ya when I'm in the area.. Get some quantity totals from the folks here, they will bargain. Heck I used to get Home Depot and Lowes as well as some lumber yards and insulation suppliers trying to undercut each other on pricing. It was funny getting Home Depot and Lowes store managers fighting for sales when I was helping a buddy with his construction company back in the late 90's part time on the side.

Henry, you pick up another job??

Ammo Group Buy Poll
Guy's give it a chance, they are new and learning and while running a business they are trying to help out the gun community at the same time. One thing I would suggest to them is have each of you who are voting in the poll you might want to edit your original posts with what type, quantity and gr bullet type your looking for, that way they can get an idea of what size order this will really be, as well as keeping it from having another thread to get this information.

Knockdown steel @ OB
I'd wait for Mike to chime in on how much to bring, but you can get more than 1 on some shots, but don't expect more than 2. Until Mike comes along or one of the other shotty people I bank on 200-250 shells just to be safe..

Try this one then..

New Purchase
Don't know about IDPA, but in USPSA, you would be best to run 4 or 5 mags, for Static Steel, it's 5 strings of 5 targets so while you can get away with using a 15 rounds mag for 2 strings, why limit or chance it if you don't have to. Now knockdown, different story, you can only have 10 rounds per mag and some stages have over 30 targets so either don't miss or have plenty of loaded mags.
