Gonna shoot .45 tomorrow --- May have to bug out early but Jake is coming too

Was a little different at PCC the other night...

I'm happy -- Over 800 for my 1st time out -- Not bad for a gun that was only sighted in to be "minute of steel plate" -- I'll be back

There are slots left -- I just booked 1 slot for session 3 -- Looks like all sessions have 1 open slot at the moment

Look like I spoke too soon -- Jake has Hockey practice at 7:30 -- Usually runs till 8:30 - 9 I know he won't even be awake and if he is he'll crap out by 10:30 I still may take a 3rd session spot for myself -- if there is still 1 available -- I'll decide tomorrow -- Thanks for the info and also the offer Mike Jer

I know it's late, and may not have the space but my weekend plans have changed -- Question: If Jake and I where to share a gun would we have to be signed up for 2 different sessions?

I would think that powder coat would be too thick -- Slide wouldn't fit frame, sights won't fit grooves... An actual gun finish would be better -- lots of options to do it right

I'm on safari here --- Must have to do with that -- Still get the bounce -- I can see the page for 2 seconds then off she goes I'll try an HP touchpad -- see how that goes Same redirect with HP's webOS on the touchpad

Is their site hacked or is my end??? Go to powder valley main page -- it shows for 2 seconds then goes to web.com search page Can't get to PV main page without redirect

Johnny on the spot at old bridge -- 2 of them -- plenty of time to go -- Usually goes from 8:30 am till 2pm sometimes longer, sometimes shorter No more excuses -- show up -- you won't regret it

Shouldn't you at least post your zip code?

thats all I'm bringing -- Just want to try out the ar-22

Wait, wait ,wait... you forgot about the good lookin part

We can always say he's just got a really good gun... Kinda like what we do with Alec

NO -- still waiting on the state to get the name check back -- been about 6 weeks now

And to think, I let my 12 year old shoot with these clowns --- Wish I could make it on the 29th for PCC. I'll still be shooting for the weekend, but at a much more "reactive" target

Don't make that mistake --- SHOOT!!! You will regret it if you don't come prepared and shoot the event. I watched 1, hated it, and shot all the rest -- It really is a great group of people -- No one will make fun of you for not knowing what your doing -- Watch the forums, it takes time before they start making fun of you

I'm in -- Not sure about Jake

I'm pretty sure your homeowners insurance co will want it stored in a wooden cabinet with at least 1" thick walls.

The lee single stage will be fine -- I'm reloading 22 years now and still using a rock chucker. You can certainly make enough ammo with a single stage. If you want to load rifle your better off with a single stage for precision anyway. Up until very recently I'v been happy loading on my single stage rock chucker - but as I get older, and I now have a second shooter to feed, I'm starting to look at the Hornady and the dillon. Right now is a terrible time to get started. I'd say, if your serious about reloading, get components if you can find them -- No need for a press if you can't get primers or powder or bullets As your getting components start to read -- plenty of info out there

You guys do travel --- Gotta be an hour plus for you guys near OBRPC

Where is Shongum?

I wish I was as far as the NICS -- If a NICS takes 7 to 9 days -- How long does it take for the state to do the Name check for a P2P -- I'm 6 weeks in and my local PD sent it out with the reference letters which got to my people 2 days from application -- Their still waiting for the name check to come back from the state Just tired of this silly system and their total disregard for us who are trying to follow the law

Do we, as mere commoners, have any recourse against the state or federal gov't for this thing they call national instant check system or NICS - which is forced upon us - not actually being INSTANT? What is happening here in NJ is laughable. Is there anything we can do???

Unfortunately, size doesn't matter --- It's not the cost of the aluminum or the pipe that drives the final cost of the machine -- I still have the same amount of welding, fitting, and parts to build it 1 foot long or 3 feet long Parts cost, regardless of size of the final product The only real difference in doing smaller amounts of brass would be in the amount of media you need -- If you wanted to keep it down to 300 or 400 cases cleaned at a time you could get away with 5 pounds of media and a smaller drum. If thats the case, go with the thumlers. Your statement above -- I'm going to be doing 9mm only, but allow for the possibility of 40 cal in the future. I have no anticipation of going to 45 (I don't care for 1911's and the ammo is to damn expensive) and I have zero anticipation of needing to load rifle ammo You've got a youngster involved -- how can you be so sure he won't fall in love with high-power shooting or some other discipline -- Once your set up to reload -- switching calibers is the easy part and rifle ammo is where you really save -- Has he ever shot an AR? In .223 not .22 rimfire? I've been in your shoes -- we just started younger -- he was 8 when he started at .22 rimfire, been into skeet with 20 gauge -- lately is handguns and steel -- this year will be about uspsa with centerfire ammo -- who knows where it goes -- he just turned 13 I don't mean to sound like a salesman, I'm not. If your really sure about your reloading situation, sounds like the thumlers and 5 pounds of media will work for you -- Maybe the question you need to ask is -- How many guys who wet tumble wished they could do more in 1 batch?
