I hope not, Just wonder how a topic and discussion on a forum like this in Switzerland would go. Harry

True, but arn't you going to be able to just stop by the Bass Pro Shop on the way to OBRPC in the future anyway. Thats what I am waiting on, not holding my breath, but still waiting. <G> Harry

After you saying that and what I see in my line of work, I have yet to see a single ATC event accurately reports in the last 25 years I have been doing my job. Probably like you, some similarities, but factually wrong , maybe be semi close 20% of the time, but the other 80% just laughable. Harry

I can understand that, but that's what credit is for, How often can you stock up on 9mm for this price shipped to your door. Just think of the money you will actually be saving in the long run, and heck, save the brass and sell it or get Bello to load you some and your that much ahead of the 8-Ball. Harry

Wow, not good, while mistakes happen, not mistakes like this. Harry

Scott thanks for the heads up, I'll not promote AZ any longer, by the way, still kicking myself also, I loaded my truck up when I was 18 just out of high school and drove west to move to PHX. I had saved enough for rent, food, ins, utilities, etc for a year so I was set to find a job out there. Wound up getting a job offer but on the condition I would move to Souther Kali, 18, South K wimin, heck yea. Well that lasted a few years and for some stupid reason I wound up back here in NJ. Either way, I'm still kicking myself also but should be out there when I retire in another 5 years. Harry

Welcome to the Forum, and how long ago was it that you were at Ray's? As far as range recommendations, I'll let the folks closer to you chime in, I up in CNJ. Harry

Well Cabalas has a 5 dollar shipping gig going on right now and while I am picking up a Thumblers Tumbler I figured I would add a few things to that order and save some coin on shipping. I am looking at picking up a digital scale and was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on the ones available from Cabalas. I figure they will all have an accuracy range in the same areas, however just like I would calibrate a thermometer differently if I was measuring close to freezing or boiling, if there might be a better one for Pistol Calibers vs. rifle I I would like to hear you views. I will mostly be loading .40 S&W and 9mm and .45 ACP to ballpark what grain loads I will be working with. Harry

Other will chime in that are more in the know, but check with Maks, I think he can do something with Lee presses and pricing if I remember correctly. Harry

I have to get out to one of them, they do look like a lot of fun. There are 2 different steel styles shot there, have you shot both and any advice for a first timer? Harry

I'll be back next month, was nice shooting all day for a couple bucks in ammo, and I might be a little high on the cost. Dave was right, probably some of the most fun you can have with a 22. Harry

Shane, that's one of the reasons I was at a big loss when I started shooting USPSA, I had only shot at ranges where if you shot faster than a shot a second you got warned that we don't do rapid fire here. Add in just standing there shooting paper and no real changes isn't the best for anything other than that. Now being a member of a private range I can shoot at the indoor range standing, prone, kneeling, draw from my holster, set up multiple targets and as long as I am shooting the target straight on I am good (want to avoid cross lane shooting). Also I can shoot as fast as my fat finger can pull the trigger, a very eye opening experience for a public range shooter who is new to the sport. I also like that we police ourselves, we don't have an RO and I'll say 99% of the time I go to the range I am all by myself, so being responsible is a must for all of us and I don't mind being filmed as long as the camera doesn't add 10 pounds to me. Seriously, I like it as a deterrent for members who might do something to hurt the facilities existence for all of us. Also I don't know the ability for board members being able to view it live or just on tape but if it's live and something happened to a member it may assist in getting them help if needed. Now if it was a public range with RO's I might feel differently. Harry

Just to let you know, USPSA usually uses all the pits including the 50 yard range so the 100 yards and shotgun ranges are the only open ranges available during these times. I just shot the OBRAMS match yesterday, and was stated the most fun you can have with 22LR's, USPSA style but with 22's and when these are in progress they just uses the pits, so the 100 & 50 yard ranges are open as well as the shotgun range. I have not shot IDPA or any of the other matches there so I can't comment on what is open and what is not. Harry

Yes the 100 yard range is open when USPSA matcher are in progress. Harry

Well I guess I lied and I will have to make one last comment. Can you show me where I ever said that???? I really think you need to re-read the thread and see that your are thinking I said something I did not. Also let me add, why is it even if I did say what you think I said gives you the idea that you are better than everyone and they are stupid if they don't agree with your view?? Harry

Oops yea I know, RIF.... Harry

I can understand that, but while we are a responsible group of firearms owners there are bad apples around us. Take for example we who are members of the range are all part of the range and we are responsible to keep the place and act as if it is our range and treat it accordingly. However somehow chairs get shot up, Rifle rounds in the indoor range a LOT larger than 22LR's and other problems. Now to keep the people who do this damage and jeopardize the rages good standing with the surrounding home owners, you would want to know who is the person or persons who are doing this. I know I pay good money to be a member and I really enjoy the facilities and don't want some fool destroying that for me and the other members and numerous visitors who attend the many activities. As far as video, I'd bet your commute to work and a lot of what you do in any public area that is in or close to a more populated or city area are already being recorded anyway. Harry

No I haven't had any problem with any LEO's and I have not had to give up my rights as you seem to have implied earlier. Now how about we just end this conversation being it doesn't seem to be going anywhere and has yet to provide any useful information for the forum. Harry

Very nice site, book marked have a feeling I will be checking that site out for a while. Harry

I had no issues but you may want to call USAammo directly to place the order, I will say I had a slight problem but is was a ID10T error on my part but figured that out the second time. You may have better luck talking with a person, plus if it they say its a problem they can't correct, you can get advise on how to correct that and who to talk to. Harry

I would really check with some people who reload and see what they think of the brass, and you could always let it go to them for a little coin or just give it to them if they are a friend, remember Carma is a good thing. Now if they say it's too bad to do anything with or the time to sort out the crap would take more time that it would be worth, you might want to good up scrap metal places in your area that will buy it from you. There are plenty around but if you can't find any close and there is a machine shop close to you, stop in and ask them who they use, I remember we used to save brass and aluminum shavings in 55 gallon drums and cash them in when the price was good and most shops do the same thing. Harry

I was out in AZ at my folks house and they like I shop at Costco so our supply of food we have at home of non perishables is pretty good. Well some of the couples there were all talking have a good time and someone brought this subject up to the group, well one of the husbands said I have a little but we can all just come over to my parents house being they have a nice supply, just as he was finished, his wife spoke up and said to him and the group. No we won't, why do you think he has all of them guns and ammo, it's to keep people like us away if something happened. Balance people, balance the supply, food for a week, ammo for a week, and so on. Harry

If your going to be walking in and camping any long distances you want to stay on the light side and probably a 2 to 4 person tent. I use a cheap one I got a Dicks Sporting goods on sale and it was less than 50 bucks. It's not the greatest quality but you do want to look at something that is easy to setup and break down, has a rain fly. Also pick up a bottle of spray or swab on rain sealant and do the seams on everything. If you treat the cheap ones nice they can last for years. I do this being I carry it mine on my Motorcycle. Now when I used to spend every weekend up in NY state Hang Gliding, I had a more expensive 6 person tent, but I kept it setup for 6 to 7 months a year and lived in it 2 to 3 nights a week. Sounds crazy, but 2 to 3 days of quality hang gliding a week are worth it. Now here is the biggest thing, while sleeping bags are great and can be warm, if you want to get a good nights sleep and your girl to go more than ONE TIME, get a good ground roll or really go all out and get a inflating mattress, I got one at Costco for 25 bucks that take 4 D cell battery's and it inflates in a few minutes and can be just as comfy as you bed at home. Harry

Jon, Pleasure meeting you and putting a face to the name. Also thank you for the AREEE you REAAALLLY sure you done on the last stage I owe ya one. Harry

Thanks for the photos, nice job, and good meeting you, now make sure you shoot the next match, way too much fun to just shoot it with a camera. Harry
