I've been reloading on a single stage press since 1987. I can't imagine ever outgrowing it. You will always have a use for a single stage press even if its just for popping primers before cleaning with a de-capping die. My thought - buy a rock chucker - it will never be without a use on your reloading bench.

What are the details of this? Does the OBRPC crew shoot this? Is it basically he same set up as old bridge? Youth shooters OK?? Cost per gun? We might give this a try, gotta look at where CJ is. Might be a little far. Jer

Now a coast Guard Heli -- all headed same way -- coincidence?

US fighters at speed over my house heading towards NYC 11:10 am --- Anything going on?? I don't see them often -- Last time was a few years ago when Obama was in the air and a small aircraft encroached his airspace -- Time before that, the towers where burning. I'm in the corner of Middlesex, Somerset, and Union counties.

I don't have a link to the info --- It was an email attachment from them when I contacted about the pellet pins -- When I try to attach the file here I get a message that says I can't upload this kind of file. I'll order 50 pounds on Monday -- Price should be better than anything we can get from the normal suppliers, Midway, sinclair, Brownells -- They are all in the ballpark of $44 per 5 pounds plus shipping. I'm hoping that this stuff,bought in bulk direct, will be in the ballpark of $7 per pound shipped to me. They won't tell me an exact shipping cost till I actually place the order. Here is a Cut and paste of the text of the page your only missing pictures which just show the pins next to some brass. News Release!!! April 2012 Testimonial on our new Pellet Pins ™ XL…. To Steve Alexander of Richardson Texas our R&D shooter/ user of our new Pellet Pin™ XL: The primary reason we like the XL pins vs. the small original pins is basically ease of handling. We tried the small pins first and while they did the cleaning quite well they had a few traits we disliked. They seemed to be difficult to keep track of during separation of cases and pins as they are quite light and seemed to flip out of the separator container very easily. Also, a minor point, several people have mentioned that they would get two stuck in a primer flash hole. We never experienced this but it seems to happen enough for a number of people to have mentioned it. Advantages of the XL pins: They won't jam in the flash hole, being .062 as opposed to .041. Easier to keep track of during the separation phase as they weigh about 5 times as much as the small pins and don't seem to "flip" around as much. Clean equally well as the smaller pins. Attached picture shows some range pickup 10mm cases, cases after being "pinned" and cases after several hours in a vibratory tumbler with corn cob and Nu-Finish car polish. They don't get any cleaner during the final phase, but, become more polished and the car polish adds a very slight wax coat to the case and will - in our opinion - stave off discoloration longer than if untreated.

Nick, Send me an email address, I'll forward you the info --- That would be easier than me trying to post an attachment. Won't be till tonight though. I was thinking of ordering 50 pounds direct from the manufacturer, keeping what I want, and selling the rest. Manufacturer has a 50 pound minimum. Jer

You guys using Stainless media --- Do you find the stainless pins too small? Too light? Do you lose them when rinsing? I ask because Pellets LLC, the company that makes the stainless media for tumbling, has come out with a new size. It's larger and heavier .061 diameter instead of .042 or something really close to that. They say it cleans just as well. It just makes the pins a little easier to keep track of. It's also rumored that it stops two pins from getting lodged in the flash hole. Is this a common problem? I'm about to make the switch to wet tumbling. Just curious about your pin issues. Jer

I turned in my 1st pistol permit application on my 21st birthday, then I went to the bar. The next morning, my home phone rang. Hung over, I answered to hear the Chief of police on the other end -- "Come on down to headquarters" he said "your permit is ready". I sobered up fast -- by the end of that day I owned a colt 1911 -- Still my favorite handgun -- That was 22 years ago - Times sure have changed

Jim -- Are you familiar with a muzzleloader? You will need to load and fire a muzzleloader for the rifle test -- I'm not sure if you have to hit the target or not but you will need to fire it -- They will provide the gun Shotgun test you will need to shoot at moving clay birds -- you do not have to hit them just show control of the shotgun -- They will provide the shotgun I took all the tests 20 some years ago -- Jake just took his shotgun test last season -- we went out a few times last season but got skunked -- Maybe this year will be better for him

Search Griffin and Howe in bernardsville there are some $250,000 plus trap guns there -- I'm not so sure about status symbol and all that but they sure are pretty

I believe that this is for interstate travel - the federal transportation guidelines -- within NJ the firearm can be in an unlocked case on your back seat if you so choose.

Thanks for the offer but I'll pass -- My gun has never seen factory ammo and I plan on keeping it that way -- I'm also an hour away...

Mines got a Leupold Vari X III 50 mm objective 4 X 14 in matte finish. Works well. Leupold will stand behind that scope as long as they are in business. I did actually have to send one back that was on a Pro Elite spring air rifle -- That was a Vari X III 6.5 X 20 with a target dot -- The spring gun tore the reticle loose -- Leupold fixed it no questions asked free of charge

Mossberg 500 20 gauge with a spec ops recoil absorbing stock -- Jake is 70 pounds, definitely on the small side, and can shoot this thing all day. He even handles slugs with a scope out of it. Plenty for deer. He has a bow but the draw weight is to low for deer, somewhere around 25 pounds. Can't pull 35 and be accurate. He does have his shotgun hunting license -- 12 years old

My wife just went thru his last year -- Works at a preschool -- She used her boss, the school director, as a reference -- No problems -- FID and P2P

That happens sometimes --- you get put in the wrong class We're getting faster every time

Thats Cool!!! I wonder how many tickets that guy will get in the mail from the red light cameras...

you know, you guys got me thinking, I've got a gas line just on the other side of the wall to where my grill is. It would not even be an 8 foot run. Maybe I'll look into a natural gas conversion for the grill.

I'd love to have a place like this near me -- I can't seem to find one -- Driving here would cost me $10 in fuel in the truck unless I could make it a stop while going to the range -- I could go the "long way" and take 287 to RT.9 and come in that way -- I'm also in sayreville a lot but driving a dump truck and trailer -- not very practical for a propane refill Seems like I should try looking a little more in my area before calling in the delivery -- Gotta find the hidden tank behind the fence... Jer

I went to my local propane supplier today to fill a BBQ tank only to find a locked gate, no trucks, and no propane tanks on the dock. Another business gone... It seems that getting a propane tank filled is a thing of the past around here -- tons of Blue Rhino, but I actually want 20 pounds of propane in my 20 pound tank. I did an internet search for propane suppliers and Jackgas.com comes up -- They seem to address the "light" blue rhino tanks and state multiple times that they actually put 20 pounds of propane in a 20 pound tank -- They will deliver to your door for $5.00 and take your empty tank as an exchange -- It seems like they charge $5.00 just for the drive and will deliver multiple tanks for the same $5.00 charge. They charge $19.99 for the filled, exchanged tank totaling $24.99 delivered if you get just 1. I haven't done a blue rhino tank for awhile but I was paying $20 to get my tanks filled bringing them to the supplier myself. I'm thinking that a $5 delivery charge for multiple tanks is fair and saves me the search for a new supplier Anyway, Has anyone used this service? How are they? I know I've never seen a delivery truck with "Jackgas" on the side of it but I think I'm going to schedule a delivery for 2 or 3 tanks this week. Jer

That shouldn't have been that funny but I did get a good laugh out of it -- A good day as always -- scored 503 pieces of 45 acp brass

Anyone have mags for a marlin 989 M-2? I've got 2 - 7 rounders -- If not, we'll both be shooting the ruger, I tried the 10/22 but the scope is just too big to find my targets -- I've got a 5 X 15 power scope on it and Jake says it looks silly

Unfortunately you better hope it gets hot enough to activate the door seal or it will be filled with water -- I would expect that most safes in a fire fall thru and end up in the basement anyway -- My safe does not have any type of seal around the door - just steel -- It's got a good fire rating but I'm sure it will leak, and I would expect smoke damage -- fortunately it's not over basement so it won't end up in the moat after the FD gets done

I see I'm not the only one who checks that site every few days -- I missed out on the last ammo "in stock" a few weeks ago -- not this time

I don't have enough ammo loaded either -- Got the GSG still broken down, haven't touched it since cleaning, upgrades still need to be done Looks like Jake and I are shooting the MKIII -- maybe I'll shoot a 10/22 with a huge scope on it
