https://www.1911addicts.com/threads/reloaders-dream-set-up-dillon-mbf-bigg-dawg.104473/#post-1727203 Take a look for yourself as for ammo availability in the future — if Biden and whoever controls him wins we may never see easy access to ammo again

Not as easy as you think right now — components are hard to get, covid and an election year — the double whammy Primers are the key —if you can find primers than everything else can be found or substituted not trying to discourage you — I can help with brass and I’m willing to help you being in Dunellen what caliber or calibers are we talking here? How much you want to spend? I saw a full reloaders dream setup on another forum recently — not cheap but it was almost everything needed to get started from nothing in 1 purchase — and quality stuff

Hopefully... I’m dying to get my hands on what is waiting

No Glock for me I was notified by Steve that I am in the NICS system — no idea when I’ll get the call hopefully by the end of this week

Are we still 4 days behind?

My 1st shotgun was a Remington 87 express bought new at Rays in 1987 — since then I just never was able to get used to the mossberg controls If you have no preference where the slide lock and saftey are then either remmy or mossberg will suit your needs Even if you wanted to, finding a used shotgun right now would be difficult — probably difficult finding a new, cheap shotgun too good luck

The Valor had been discontinued and they brought it back — verdict is still out on the new version older valors get gobbled up on the used market — see something used that interests you, don’t say something, just buy it — if you don’t someone else will Vbob, Cbob, Specialist, ECO I’ve handled a few

Lots of people consider Dan Wesson to be the best value for the money 1911

Pretty sure all NJDicks have dropped anything firearm related — I personally cannot confirm, Haven’t been in one of their stores for years

Do you order right from the website, use the email, or call? I’ve had an email in to Alex for over a week, heard nothing If using the website, how fast does stuff get shipped I’m trying to order by email, this way I can pick up my order and save the shipping costs

Yes, spoke to the guy. Needed boat ramp permit, fishing or hunting license to access the lake — no matter what — I had a tandem kayak with my wife — we did not get on the lake — I did not have my huning license renewed yet, didn't have it with me anyway, and I do not carry a smartphone Guy was polite, and seemed like I could have pushed it and got on the lake but I didn’t want to be a dick to him. It’s all right there on the sign, just never been enforced before Funny thing is if you use a fishing license to access the boat launch you are supposed to leave it on the dash of your vehicle — if you are fishing isn’t your license supposed to be clearly visible on your person? Anyway, no boating on round valley for July it seems— thanks Governor

I went to Round valley boat ramp on Sunday — place was packed — there was a guy checking for access permits sitting in a truck at the driveway entrance never before the covid did they do this, now seems to be a regular thing interestingly, having the permit checker, forced many people who don’t get a permit to get a permit — and now they close the place — sure sounds like a planned way to get people to approve a tax hike

I just looked up pictures of the 505 — I have that scale too — not sure if its ohaus— did rcbs make their own version of that also? That was the 1st scale I ever had, would have been bought when I started reloading, back in 1990 or 91 also have the dillon version now you have me thinking I better get one of them up and running, just in case

some digital scales suck -- I have a Digital RCBS scale, Made by Pact, Made in the USA, and its old -- That thing is dead balls reliable, consistent, I trust my life to it I also use the same powder tray -- 199.6 grns before I hit the tare button -- It's been the same weight for 25 years -- If that number is off then It's time to calibrate If it ever fails, I have no idea what I will do to replace it -- But I will work up my loads again on the replacement scale

you aren't gonna get a squib at .2 under -- Test weights, you know how much real test weights cost? Yes I have calibration weights for my scale, And I trust my scale -- been using it for a couple of decades -- I actually have 3 scales, all of them read the same exact charge differently so when I say I trust my scale I trust the load that reads 4.3 grns is safe for me -- Is it really 4.3 grns of powder, Hell if I know but I do know that I worked my way to that weight on that scale -- If I switch scales I'll start low and work my way up again I would never trust anyone else's data right from the start -- Who knows it their scale is right -- I'll listen, but work my way to your load my way This shit we buy isn't scientific quality -- your really gonna bet your hand on a $39 scale from amazon? I'll start low and work up ALWAYS -- been doing it that way for 30 years -- never a single failure, not even a close call Do as you wish.

So I would start at 3.8 and work my way from there — why? Because I have no idea if my scale is accurate learn your equipment

Curious as to what they charged per 1000 — ?

So I can find this later...

I wish this was done already — I have another piece incoming soon — would love to ship it to you even though you’re a little drive

I’ve loaded everything from 115 grn to 147 grn all using Ibeji heads — the difference in recoil is so minimal that it’s hard to notice — all fired from single stack 1911’s the post above is more spot on for starting out — your ammo won’t matter — stage execution will be the biggest challenge you face for quite awhile

That was painful to read — way too much infomercial for me — makes you wonder why they need to sell like that if the product is so good — I have no real feedback for you on the product but I’m staying away just because of the sales pitch

Not trigger springs — recoil spring and mainspring — sounds like you didn’t touch either of them

He's asking what gun will it be shot in --you answered Sprung means have you put any lighter springs in the gun so it will function with lighter loads -- Is the gun factory sprung? Factory springs should handle the potentially higher power loads you will have -- If you have powder puff springs in the gun you should go back to the factory standard springs so you don't beat the crap out of your frame and slide

I also use the hornady die adapter on my rock chucker — makes swapping dies easier never had a problem with dies not threading down enough with the hornady bushings — some do get close rcbs, hornady, lee, lyman, dillon and redding dies all in my kit — my prefered dies are redding but you can’t always find them in a timely manner

Bring them in — the carboard boxes won’t like the moisture just in case you don’t use them all and need to store them for next time
