Since the "to gouge or not to gouge" debate (or "to profit off others desperation or not to profit of others desperation") is alive and well here I figured I would share this link http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-022 This is for anyone that wants to pay way too dam much money for ammo and you dont even have to leave home to do it. Looks like you can even buy as much ridiculous priced 22lr as you can afford. Ken

Maks is rite. Eric can be a serious ass at times. I think he is alittle to high strung. The last time I was there he was being a little cranky untill the ice cream truck showed up, then happy again. I am serious too, you cant make stuff like that up. Over on another unnamed forum I belong to you dont even want to bring his name up or people will trash you to death. I still am not sure exactly why they hate him so but it might have to do with the weird attitude problems there. Shawn~ His prices do somewhat suck rite now but a lot of places suck rite now. I have gotten some deals from this guy that could not be matched anywhere. It pays to check all sources and buy from the best without a doubt rite now. Ken

Like others have said, Eric isnt too bad to deal with. You must call before you go though. He is a ball buster about that. If the ammo in question is heavy (7.62x54r is) he will cut you a break. He will cut you a bigger break if you bring cash. Remember, all the prices on his website include shipping. If you go in and pick it up he will always knock the shipping off automatically. Ken

I love my MkIII. I can tell you from experience that the extractor in it sucks. I have a lot of rounds through mine and may have just worn it our. If yours ever start stovepipeing a lot look up the exact edge extractor. By the time you need it you should be a pro at striping and cleaning. Changing the extractor is easy once you get good at the field strip part. Ken

By that logic most of the country is a bad neighborhood. Ken

If you would like I could make you a 7.62 x 54 steel case russian surplus dummy round and drop it in the mail. Just send me a PM if you want it. Ken

to elaborate on kman's post, if you did not fire the rounds in the gun you are re loading for you must full length size. If you have already fired the rounds in a bolt action rifle and are loading for the same rifle you can neck size only. Just neck sizing slows down brass stretch, extends brass life, and reduces trimming frequency. Ken

It looks like the missing shot #5 went through the rightmost hole in the target. It looks just a touch bigger than the other three. Nice Rifle ! Ken

I stumbled on this once and added it to my bookmarks. Its not exactly what you are looking for but it will teach you more than you will ever need to know about ammo cans. http://olive-drab.com/od_firearms_ammo_cans.php Ken

I think you may have to send it to them to get that part changed. I had to send a sight back to them that got messed up and they are pretty good about it. Mine suffered from a drop related injury. Ken

Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters has had large and small pistol primers for a while now. The larges just came in this week and they may be out of smalls by now. But, they are coming in kind of regularly now. They also has some small rifle primers last time I was in. They where all around the $35 per K range. Ken

That is about our best hope in this particular situation. Ken

The only thing with reloading 50cal BMG is the dies have a bigger thread. Usually you need a dedicated press. Most presses physically cant fit the BMG brass. You will also need a dedicated priming tool since the brass and primer are massive. Trimming requires anohter dedicated tool. Add all this up and you are going to spend $400 or $500. Look for a package deal to get it all at once if you can. It will save you some money. Ken

I havent seen it anywhere in quite a while now. I used to get it from www.ammoman.com. His website states that he will not ship to NJ. If he has it and you give him a call (ask for Eric) he will tell you when to come and pick it up. If you do this bring cash. Cash will get you a discount. Ken added on edit. Looks like ammoman is out. SG does have some at a decent price though. I am not sure how jammed up they are with shipping. You might have to wait a few days. http://www.sgammo.com/catalog/rifle-ammunition/50-bmg Ken

I understand your point HM Murdock. I am unsure of that myself. In fact, I would bet a lot of the local LEO's may not know exactly either. The last part of that is my point. Considering the exchange that took place I would not call out the officer for being out of line or violating anyone's 2nd amendment rites. I dont think that you are either. I think we are fighting the same fight with slightly different points of view! The way the individual was questioned did not involve any kind of detention, search, or confiscation. That there is as good as it gets these days regardless of being a question of legal or not. Just my $.02 K3n

My 1st choice is Sierra followed closely by Hornady. For high volume pistol and 223 I use Montana golds. The MG's are the best price/value compromise I have found yet. I was not impressed by precision delta. It could have been my loads but the 500 I went through in 40 sw did not hit like i would like them to. I am as sure that there are people that would agree with me as I am that people will disagree with this. Wait a few days and average out all the replies! Ken

Me too. A doll repair shop would be even weirder. I would love to post a pic of the clock repairshop basement but I would never do that to one of my customers. Y'all will just have to take my word for it that its is freaking weird! Ken

By paying in advance you gaurentee your appointment. I had to do that when I moved and it went quick. It is digital finger printing and it really speeds up the whole drawn out long ass process. Once your printed the results are almost immediate. The price sounds like about what I paid a few years ago. Ken

Whats wrong with checking to make sure youre following the law? That didnt seem out of line to me. It was a simple "do you have a permit, why yes I do" type of encounter? Why make it an us vs them kind of thing? The cops are not against anyone in general. Or at least they are not suposed to be. I know some officers have their own agenda they follow but that seems to be the exception, not the rule. This is comming from someone that has had 2 encounters with the NJSP while shooting legally at a farm in millstone NJ. Both times we were treated with respect and left alone. Ken

I have a customer who used to repair and rebuild all kinds of clocks. He has a room in his basement that scares the hell out of me. There are clocks and clock pieces absolutly everywhere. Its like the twilight zone or something. I dont know what it is about that many clocks and pieces that creeps me out. Kinda weird isnt it?! Ken

Wow. This thread went way the hell off course! Ken

You can use the seat/crimp die followed by just a crimp die. Just make sure that the seat/crimp die is only set to seat and not crimp. Its as simple as that. Enjoy Ken

My favorite is the Klein beverage tool. I know its a beer opener so I doesnt technically count but its my favorite. I have several of them. http://www.toolbarn.com/klein-98002-bt.html Being an electrician it matches the rest of my screwdrivers and nut drivers perfectly. Ken

Haha! Where was that the last time the great oil debate heated up. Ken

I think you read into it too much. If fishnut really thought he missed out on $300 he would have taken it and never posted this. I wuold feel the same way but the feeling of doing the rite thing is better. Ken
