both eyes open for clay shooting, right?
I do better with both eyes open on most guns. That all goes out the window as soon as you add magnification (scope) . If there is a lot of glare or distraction I will close one eye to "focus" better on the situation. With fast moving target you will benefit by shooting with both eyes open. Ken

FiveseveN, love it but....
I love this pistol. Its a great shooter and very ergonomic. My main problem is ammo availability. I cant find 5.7x28 anywhere anymore. It pisses me off greatly. Anybody else going through this too>? I have emailed FNH twice about ammo availability and they dont even respond at all. Kind of disappointing. I hear rumors that Federal is going to start making this ammo but the retailers I deal with cant find much about it. Ken

tumbling AFTER loading?
I know a couple people that do it. I dont because they dont roll around too good in the bowl. I also do all my brasswork (sizing, trimming, swagging) then polish it on the tumbler. The only thing left is powder and bullet. No lube is needed. I also only load rifle and do it on a single stage press. Ken

Why do different bullet types have different load data?
Also, if you push lead too fast it turns into a giant mess. The better the jacket, the higher the velocity you can achieve. Ken

A good inexpensive site/store to buy 308 ammo (brass)
Its tough rite now. I just sold off a lot of my surplus. I shooting all hand loads now witch is cheaper to make than any available surplus at the moment. I used to buy milsurp for about .30 a round but that has all dried up. If you want to put a lot of rounds down range reloading may be something to consider. I can make very high quality, clean ammo for about .28 per round. If you wanted to make some blasting ammo it could be less yet if you shop around for components. The two sites I check regularly are www.sgammo.com and www.ammoman.com. Once in a while you will find a good deal there, at least when a good deal exists. Ken

Why no 1911 9mm/38/40 conversions?
Its probably a supply vs demand thing. Little demand = no supply. Most would go to the 22lr because its the cheapest to shoot. If they where happy with a 9mm they would purchase that calibre form the get go. Just my uneducated guess Ken

Field strip Ruger MkIII hunter
Who here has one that they can strip and clean without having to look at the manual? I hate to take this gun apart and clean... When re-assembling I have a very hard time getting the dam thing back together. particularly with the hammer strut that rests on the spring that goes in the back of the grip. Otherwise it is a great pistol and I would still recommend it. You just dont wanna clean it! At least not the way I clean anyway. Do these pistols get more cooperative with time or is it just something I better learn to deal with? Perhaps I should just stick to rifles since thats where my passion is! Ken

Application in, quick question...UPDATED 10/01/2012.
Thats kinda screwed up. I list myself as self employed since I am.. I have never been mailed anything to verify that I employ myself or asked any questions about it. It is a violation of the law and can cause some people problems I would imagine. What if you work for a anti? Thats not too fair now is it?! If your not a member of the NJ2AS I would suggest that you become one. After that, talk to Frank about it. Ken

RedBull Stratos 120K ft jump
Awesome! Its one of the first things that had me checking my phone every few minutes in a long time, I was at my best friends sons 10yr birthday party at the time. I had company though. One of my other LEO friends stopped at the party to watch it too. Then I "stole" his cruiser on my way out. I just moved it so that it wasnt where he left it idling. Funny as hell! Ken

Shotgun Shootout! October 13th - Clinton, NJ WMA
I was going to attend but I have to back out. I have to get caught up in my work. I most likely will work Saturday and Sunday this week to save face. It is a curse sometimes to run your own business. When things get tough, you just gotta fix it because the guys you pay to help dont want to work a weekend. Ken

CFE223 loads?
CFE223 does meter a hell of a lot easier than Varget. I polished the edges inside my RCBS powder measure and it make it a lot easier. I only get a jam up once in a great while now. Ken

Rammstein - Great mostly german heavy metal Ministry - Great Industrial political metal Pantera - Just great, I also liked Damageplan wich is uncomon among Pantera fans Pink Floyd - Each and every song Clutch - Great jam band, I prefer to see them live. They plat the starland quite often. Ken

Timney Triggers
Let me add, I prefer a two stage trigger. If thats not for you, my raving may not be for you. Mine is set up for 5lb first stage. After you take "take up the slack" of the first stage its a clean break for the second stage. It is probably about 5lbs 1oz. Its like snapping a glass rod. The nicest parts about it is there is no over travel. That 2nd stage is tight. If your a single stage person there is a trigger for that too, I probably would not like it though. Ken
