Reloading components swap
I still have and use powder I bought back in the early 90’s — kept sealed and in original containers the shelf life is substantial

Reloading components swap
How many bags of shot does this guy have? My thought is make an offer to buy them all at a better price. I also agree about the 12 pounds of 700x — find the money and buy it — you won’t find a better deal right now I reload because I enjoy it and to save money — in order to save money I tend to buy in bulk and make deals that help a seller out— that usually means buying everything he has at a reduced price — makes it easier on the seller

Reloading components swap
I’m in middlesex borough — zip is 08846 not worth the drive for 1000 primers — might be worth the drive for 5000 and the wads I have those pink, claybuster wads too — laying them side by side next to the winchester wads the pink claybusters definately have a shorter shot cup — less shot in the claybuster PM me an email address and I will send a picture or 3 —

CCI large pistol primers
I have to be reading this wrong — havent seen prices like this in 10 years — I have not ordered to confirm its real https://www.gunbroker.com/item/864951134 CCI large pistol primers for $105 per 5000 — that $21 per 1000 box Hazmat is a little high but if there are a few of us who want to split hazmat then this could be a huge deal Group buy???

Any news from OBRPC?
I see we don’t have an OBRPC sub forum anymore, or I just can’t find it — wondering if anyone has heard if there is any progress towards the member only pits and the 200 yard range — with the forced shutdown it would be a great time to get those built Also wondering if there are any outdoor work hour opportunities during the shutdown Does OBRPC have a chat forum or a place members can talk?

A few questions from a new NJ gunowner
Yes, Rays is a car dealership overflow lot now — bought my 1st handgun there, March 20, 1990 — the day after my 21st birthday Yes, my pistol permit took 24 hours to process — dropped off permit application before work the day I turned 21 — went to work — went to titty bar after work — it was a Friday — got call from Cheif of police in morning “permit is ready, come get it” I picked up the pemit and went directly to Rays — bought a Colt combat elite — $700 — still have it today

Is this Lee press kit a good package to get started in reloading?
A single stage press isn't that hard to use to make a quantity of pistol ammo — you work in batches Size 200 cases prime 200 cases expand 200 cases seat 200 bullets crimp 200 cases It doesn’t take long, you get a rythm going on the press — I would recommend the little dandy pistol powder measure — powder charging on the included tool will be slow with the included measure Yes a progressive is faster, more expensive, and more involved — you don’t need to start with a progressive Just realize that you will outgrow this kit quick if you do actually become a reloader — even if you stay single stage you will probably upgrade every piece of this kit

poly coated bullets question.
Take a lead bullet and drive it down your barrel using a hammer and brass,aluminum,wood dowel Measure the slug once through to figure out the inside diameter of your particular barrel you dont want to use too small of a bullet — say your slug measures .356 at its widest measurement — using a bullet sized .355 would be bad in a barrel measuring .356 — you wouldnt get a seal and hot gasses will escape around the projectile causing major leading, inacuracy and barrel wear Now sometimes a barrel measuring .356 would benefit from a bullet sized at .357 — only way to know is to try but you have to work that load up from a low powder charge just like any new to you load — the larger bullet diameter could cause excessive pressure Make sure to use a bullet big enough to make the slug — should have clear, defined lands and grooves

poly coated bullets question.
Ibeji has sample packs of 100 — you can do that if you wish — have you ever slugged your barrel? I use .356 in my 9mm guns and .357 in my 38 super — .452 in 45.acp Just finished loading a box of Ibeji 115 grn rn sized .356 — shoot really well in my Dan wesson Specialist
-
poly coated bullets question.
Ibeji — made right here in NJ — owner shoots at the local matches been shooting these for years — no issues at all actually on the chrony I gained 50 or so FPS with the same loading using Ibeji coated bullets over Extreme plated stuff If you are local you can save on shipping

Alternatives to known reloading items...need clarity
I always use CCI small rifle primers in place of small pistol primers — its rumored that the only difference between the 2 is the hardness of the cup Substituting different brand primers is a little different — you can do it but you should work up your load again — you can’t trust that different brand primers are they same chemical makeup I’ve been doing the CCI primer swap for a decade — never had an issue and I’m sure I was cautious with the 1st batch I made up — makes buying primers easier too

So is NJ still expecting income taxes to be filed and paid by April 15? Are accounting firms essential or non essential businesses?

NICS is DEEP TODAY
Isn't there a 72 hour rule — No response by nics in 72 hours then buyer is considered to have passed NICS Is this something that doesn't get done or does it not exist?

First time reloading
Do you guys trim your pistol brass? If you dont they are not the same length — I haven't trimmed pistol brass for over 30 years Crimps are relative to brass length — longer brass gets crimped more than shorter brass
