The only difference I can see it making is if you reload or not. The lake City brass has a better service life in reloading. Otherwise, they both chrono about the same and have about the same accuracy. Ken

that is beautiful....absolutely beautiful Ken

Me and my brotherinlaw had a similar problem. Only difference is we where the ones shooting for hours and hours.. The main difference is the person doing the complaining came and told us instead of bitching on facebook. Ken

The place is great. You can have tons of fun even if you follow the rules! CJRPC is the best of the last 3 clubs ive belonged to. But,.. If more people dont follow the rules it will go to hell just like the last 2 I belonged to. Its not just newbs either! Enjoy your membership. Its a great club. Ken

As much as I do not like or support the above system, I think Tony is rite. Its gonna be a lot easier to get restrictions than bans. besides, look at new jersey... We have no gun crime with out stricter rules :rofl: . it doesnt have to work to be considered, voted upon, and enforced. it didnt in new jersey or anywhere else so therefore its a good law..... I hope the sarcasm is thick enough. Ken

Thanks for all the well wishes... I am sure I will recover just fine. I am my own worst enemy with recovery so I just need to behave myself. If I even try to walk out the house I get chased down by the wife. She tells me that since I no longer smoke and I am half broken there is no need for me to go outside. Not even alowed to go have a beer with my buddy next door. things will get better. I am feeling a little better every day now. Ken

I tell ya, I wish there was a sticker bush, poisen ivy pile, garbage cans,....anything at all where I fell. Like you said, it wasnt the shock. that part im ok with. that fall hurt. a lot. Ken

You can not have enough reloading literature! What are you planning on loading? Riffle, pistol? Ken

Since Im out of the hospital I can post and lurk again. Since my facebook only includes a few of you guys I figured I would fill in the rest now. On Sunday July 29 I was shocked badly and thrown off a ladder. Best I can figure I fell about 15 feet to the concrete bellow. I broke my collarbone in 3 places, broke 2 ribs, and punctured a lung. I got to spend 2 days in the ICU on a resperator..... I dont remember much. I know I have never been in pain like this before in my life. I also know not to mix the internet and percocet. That will really limit my time online. I am going to be OK and the ortho that did surgery on my collar bone said I will be able to resume riffle and shotgun in 6 weeks or so and that he would tailor my PT for it. I am dam proud of the local volunteers and public employees of east windsor township. One of the DPW guys saw me go down from a block away and ran over and sat with me while my dad called for medics. On another note, I could not get into this website from capitol health in trenton at all. Anti- medical center? I also think I managed to find the best way to quit smoking. its been 9 days now and no smoking. I really dont even want to smoke. My wife is happy about that but is pushing me for a career change too.... Ken

Ministry, The last sucker.... Im glad to see such diverse musical tastes. Ken

I supose it could happen. I got some really whacked out groups with some ammo (including my own loads) with other optics. Bullet weight has a lot to do with it. I found that I really needed to stay on the heavy side with a couple of guns and others prefered the lighter side of the range. As an example, I have an M1a that hates anything lighter than 175 grain. Most millsurp is ~150. Best of Luck Ken

At the range! Ken

Maybe its a CCI thing? It sucks when you only half prime a round and cant get it out of the priming tool. Been there, done that! It happens every time you miss a round while sweging. Ken

I seem to get the best accuracy out of 175gr bullet. The German surpluss and the mali is 149gr. i would like to say thats the problem with it but the german ammo groups pretty nicely. Who knows... Im gonna pull a few of those malaysain rounds apart and measure and weigh everything. After that im gonna cut the bullet in half to see whats inside it. Ken

Ha! I havent tried Paki ammo yet. If anyone ever goes to war with Malaysia they wont have to worry about getting shot, thats for sure....I dont now what to do with this stuff. I have abot 1000 rounds left. I cant even reload the brass....stupid berdan primed brass...... Ken

I had the opportunity to test out about 10 different handloads, 2 different millsurp loads, and 3 commercial loads today with my M1A. I could not even get a half decent group (about 10 inches at 100yds) with the Malaysian surplus I have. On a 10 shot string it had a velocity variation of over 300 fps. There is not a good source for this ammo rite now but if it does become available again thats the deal. Also, FWIW, the german DAG ammo shot a better group (3.5 inches) than Federal 168gr OTM ammo did (4 inches) and was more consistant on the chrono. That ammo has a bad name for corrosion. Go figure. The best group and lowest variation where my own loads. Sierra HPBT 168gr bullets on Varget powder in Lake City brass (3.5 inches). They only had a 30fps variation. I do all my shooting with iron sights, thats why the groups are as large as they are. So, thats what I learned today Ken

I only log hard core info when trying new ammo or working up a load. And I really only keep that info for my M1a and my remington 700 hunting rifle. I do keep all ammo and component receipts so it wouldnt be to hard to figure out a round count for any gun except the 22's. They dont wear out! Ken

Get one of those little stick heaters that keep the temperature a few degrees warmer than the outside of the safe if there is a plug inside the safe. If your safe is in the basement like mine, get a dehumidifier for the whole basement. Its good for the air quality inside your home that way also. Ken

Yeah! I have re-adjusted the way I hold the hand primer from this point forward! Ken

I also uniformer the primer pockets and de burred the flas holes first. Im fairly anal about my brass prep. Ken

It was a CCI 400 small rifle primer, I swaged it myself as well as shot it wyself in the first place. It did not require any more force than any other round did. I use the RCBS swaging dies in a rock chucker press as I have done for years now. I have never had this happpen in 20 years of reloading. it really scared the crap out of me because I just plain did not expect it! Dam primers! Ken

I have one private property range where I can safely shoot a 50. I have shot one at range 14 in the past. I really need to get one some day.... Ken

go ahead and click one of those links. Not goods things will happen to your computer. Torrent searches are the biggest scam out there for getting people to download crap onto their computers. Ken

Anyone ever had this happen? I was priming .223 brass with a RCBS priming tool and it set one off. I did NOT have the rod in backwards either. This happened with lake city brass (crimp removed) and CCI 400 primers. It really scared the crap out of me and my dog. Ken

Range 14 is a decent range. I joined CJ because it is closer to me. I am still a member at range 14 and will continue to be. I like them both. Ken
