Oh as far as Berdan vs Boxer primers. I don't think there is anything inherently "bad" about Berdan primers when it comes to shooting. Where I believe it makes a difference is with reloading, I believe Boxer primers make it easy to reload vs Berdan. So if you don't do that then I don't think you have to worry. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to corroborate that thought.

I've not fired Tula through pistol but have through my AR and just want to relay my experience to you about it and you can take it for what you will. Shot it at 25 yds at Hagues and after about 55-60 rds, it jammed on me and had to get one of the guys from Hagues, Nick, to help me clear it. Nick was against using steel as he said that compared to brass, steel doesn't expand as evenly and thus was prone to more frequent issues. He also mentioned that he believed there is potential with damaging the extractor as you have steel on steel contact. Now that said, he also noted that the bolt carrier group in my AR was very, very dry. Being new, I didn't realize that I was not properly oiling it after I clean it. (Note I clean all my guns after each time I go to the range and I normally put about 100 rds or more down the barrel of whatever I'm shooting). He showed me the difference in the oil I was using vs some other brands. I've since changed oils and gone back to shoot the AR with the Tula last weekend and put 100rds down range without one issue. So after all that, I'm not sure if the issue was the steel or the fact that my AR was not properly lubricated. I'm inclined to think the latter but I think back to what my brother said to me once, which was "feed your guns properly". So unless ammo gets even more expensive than it is now, I'll probably just stick to brass when I can. Side note, as far as accuracy goes, at 25 yds, it seemed to shoot just fine, same groups as I saw with PMC and Remington. Have to try it out further to see if that holds true though as I still have a few hundred rds of Tula to burn through...

Welcome and there should be plenty of info on the forum for any questions you have. If you don't find it, just ask, there's plenty of good people here willing to help out...

As they said in the movie Jarhead, "Welcome to the suck!!!". Seriously though, welcome to the forums, hope you get as much out of them as I have thus far. Maybe one day NJ guns laws will make more sense and we won't look enviously at the people across the border in PA. Till then, someone pass the tylenol...

Welcome and agree with NJScott about missing the mark on your landing spot. Wish we all could say NJ gun laws were any much better than NY's. Jealous that you have a K98 though, was starting to look into getting one. Good luck with everything!

Welcome back!

Welcome from South Jersey!

I'll take it. Will PM you for further details.

PM'd

Welcome and thank you for serving to protect us all!

Welcome! Just wished you have brought VA guns laws with you to NJ.

Welcome!

Welcome! The AR15 is a very versatile platform, you may not stop as just one!

Hi and welcome. I agree with the other comment that Hague's is a bit on the expensive side. If you have a full membership there you do get a discount that brings the price almost in line with what others are charging. Bangers is good, I've bought one pistol there and have another one order. I would suggest you give Arms n Ammo run by a guy name Paul who goes by PK90 on the forums. He has very good prices. Another spot you might want to try is Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters on Rt130N in Robbinsville (right next to Harry's Army Navy). They usually have a nice selection of pistols and rifles. Been to Rayco and it's a little store so the selection is limited. If you are up for a drive, you can also try Shore Shot which is 1hr down Rt70W. They tend to have a pretty good pistol selection though not as good rifle selection. All places mentioned have knowledgable and friendly folks from my own personal experience and also of my own opinions. Others opinion of these places will vary...

Thanks folks... YWHIC - I did think about Range 14 but the one concern I have is that I usually only shoot on weekends which I've heard is also when it's the busiest. Also, I did eventually want to shoot longer than 200 yards. That's why I was leaning towards SJSC since they're looking to put in either a 600 or 1000 yd range. Thanks for the recommendation though!

Didn't see anyone mention this, nothing came up in a search and I think this is the right section to post this so I figured I'd point this out. If you purchased a Beretta PX4 Storm in Full Size (only!) in any caliber between 4/1/12 and 6/30/12, then you are eligible to receive a free holster from Beretta. You must submit the applicable paperwork no later than 7/31/12. Please see the following links for more info: http://www.berettausa.com/free_holster.aspx http://www.berettausa.com/UserFiles/file/2012-Holster_Promo_TearSheet.pdf Interestingly, it doesn't seem like Beretta promoted this very much as the 3 shops I visited to look for one (Cheyenne, Shore Shot, Bangers) knew nothing about it. I was able to get a PX4 in .40 from Bangers and sent in the paperwork. Hopefully they still have one left for me and anyone else that reads this. Thanks!

Hi, name's Tony and I've been reading this forum for about a month or so now and found plenty of interesting and useful info. So I figured the least I could do was join up and say hi to everyone and thank you for that. So thanks! Anyways, I got my FID back last August and slowly building up my own little collection. Not too many pistols right now, but working on that. Got a couple of long guns and counting! Now just need a better place to shoot. Was going to join Delran Junior Marksmanship but then the town closed it down (hopefully temporarily). If it's not reopen soon, then I'm currently leaning towards either CJRPC or SJSC. Visted both, though I've only shot at CJRPC. If anyone's been to and shot at both, be interested in hearing which you think is better. Hope to eventually contribute to this forum down the line myself. Thanks again everyone!
