302w

I went on the tour. It was nothing special. I did go to Pottstown for the Slyfox tour and that was much better.

Thanks guys. I think it is funny that Yuengling wasn't available in NJ until recently. Talk about distribution..

When did Yuengling become commonly available in NJ? I am aware it didn't venture far from Pottsville until recently.

Denville always came off as snooty to me. Also, there are a lot of... Interesting students at Knolls.

If I ever mass reload 223 I would like to do this: (or just fit 1000 loose 223 in a 30 cal can) Fits 12 or 13 stripper clips in a shotshell box, put shotshell box in 50, then G2G.

Reloaded or commercial? I've heard of people having issues with vacuumed ammo. If you are concerned, throw it in a ammo can with handwarmers to deplete the little oxygen. Seal the primer and bullet if paranoid. Buy precanned Wolf 223 if extremely concerned.

FWIW.. there is a Martz bus heading directly into NYC about five minutes from the DWG. I was going to do that but I didn't get hired there (for the better). My dad used to take it and he was in the PABT in about an hour.

DWG, PA. I also work in NJ.

Try Craigslist?

My Winchester primers say "For STANDARD and MAGNUM loads" so I sleep at night using them for standard loads. I think a lot of the difference is in primer cup thickness. You can use spp in 223 and risk possibly hangfires and slow ignition but definitely bolt face erosion. You can also use rifle primers in handguns but you may not have enough force on the firing pin. I also have a box of BR4 sitting around. I use cheap components and I don't think I could improve much now so I don't use it.

I have had ferrets before. I think ours ate meow mix. If he is "free ranging" in your house, not destroying anything, and pooping in a litter box why not keep him?

Camden.

Since this thread is random things now anyway... How do you use a jag with cleaning solvent? SOP for me is to put a patch in the patch holder eyelet thing, and dip it into a bottle of Hoppes. Attempting to do so with a jag only loses the patch in the Hoppes bottle.

120 rounds of 223 will perfectly fit on clips in a 12 gauge box FWIW. Also something like 1000 loose rounds fit in a 30.

Between my dad and I, we have had almost every style of bed cover except the rolling kind. Both trucks now have toolboxes.

I would like to go to Musik Fest.

The comments are full of butthurt.

Yes, he would have to sell them to you. Everything through a dealer unless he is an NJ resident.

I googled this, must live in Massachusetts. Damn. I could have made at least $3,383,000 too.

I assure you, you do not know Mipafox.

I don't want to be that guy, but... ..Wranglers are pushing it for me. I'll leave it at that to be polite Plus, I do NOT want anything lifted. I don't want another project, I already have two.

Burning gunpowder is quite fun and a lot less dangerous that what you may think.

The new Ford Transits are available in three different roof heights, the lowest of which is Econoline height FWIW. Transit=Econoline, Transit Connect=the little van thing. They're ugly, but have significantly less blindspots. Also, if you have an inner Clint Eastwood like me, they aren't Italian imports.

I finally got around to melting some WW's today. Threw a bunch in, set the thermometer to 750 degrees, and started pulling clips when I got a nice pool of lead. However, any time I threw little chunks of candle wax in to flux it just started a rather violent fire. Why? Too hot? Also, what should I use to scoop the dross? I was using a slotted ladle thing I found with my reloading equipment. The wooden handle prevents it from burning me. There was a lot of crap in the furnace to begin with since it is quite old. I will probably flux the crap out of it next go around.

That is not embarrassing, that is an accomplishment.
