Well I'll get some powder if we are doing the group buy.

No hazmat?

I was down there Monday, bought a Kimber Target II and had no issues parking. Really great group of guys as well.

Yes, I was aware of Elmwood Park, but I think that was quite awhile ago as I never recall it being East Paterson. My wife and I went to a wedding at the Westmont (sp?) a couple months ago, we had a great time and the town looks pretty damn peaceful to me.

Have you been there? West Paterson is really nice. I didn't realize the name change until recently, but understand why they did it.

I may be interested in a couple pounds of powder

I can understand the price issue, but who/what do you find obnoxious? I find most folks there very nice and compared to the bullet hole just about anyone would be nice.

I bought mine at cabelas and don't think it's a value pack but I'll be checking.

Any lot # ranges? I have a bit of the Win White Box 115 that I bought late last year early this year.

I'm in the same boat as you. I do love RTSP but it's 22 miles vs 9. Unless there's a big disparity between the two I'd have to stay local.

Cool thanks.

Hmmm....I didn't think it would have elicited such response. I guess I was just trying to say that I thought it was a good deal for plated bullets for my 40 and I'm happy to get them. I'll think twice before posting when I'm in a good mood.

I bought 500 180 gr HPs for 40 S&W delivered for 53 bucks direct. I really want to try them out. I pretty loaded down with gear for reloading now after buying assorted caliber 2500 bullets from CNJ casting, which looks like really nice stuff. I load some of the 200 gr rnfp .45s tonight to try tomorrow.

Don't even bother. If you don't want to keep a lot of powder around and don't want to pay hazmats drive over to Salomons (sp?) in Farmingdale or bullet hole in belleville. I use a variety of pistol powders but only reload .308 and .223 rifle and use Hodgdons (sp? H335. It's about 22-25 bucks per pound in stores.

I went down there and I can't wait until they open the range. I was incredibly impressed with the friendliness of all the folks in there. I also bought (well I'll have it in 28 days because I bought a 686 last week) Kimber Target II stainless .45. Just the gun I wanted and for a fair price. I will definitely join their range when it opens, it's 9 mi from my house, I drive past on my way home from work. I'm absolutely giddy that they place is so close and they're such good guys.

I know they have strange hours but does anyone know what they are?

I'm gonna stop down today. It's only 9 mi from my house.

Yes. I was estimating based on what the recipe said the fps would be. Thanks, I am fairly new to reloading.

Not very adept but at the muzzle velocity (assumed based on recipe), 230 grain bullet out of .451 is 181. I don't know if that's really very good as I'm a bit of a novice on the reloading. Probably be bumped up. It was a fun plinking round.

I load this brass with 55 grains bullets, 25 grain H335, and find it to be quite a consistent nice load. I use the CCI #41 primers for it as well.

When I'm at RTSP and they see me scrounging brass the range officer sweeps more over and says take anything you want. I love that place even though the membership is a bit pricey.

Load master and I replaced both the large and small priming systems. Unused. Pm if you want to Discuss

Gun for hire has the NRA metallic reloading class Monday 8-20.

I load tons on a single stage rockchucker. I have a Lee for sale if interested.
