  1. I was at Cabela's yesterday and they were out of most everything. My son bought the last box of LR primers. No powders except some shotgun stuff. Barely any bullets for reloading in the common sizes. I was told that they had let the stock run down for inventory not anticipating the rush. I went to Dunkelbergers afterwards. They had most of the common powders and primers they usually carry except no LRM's. And no 22LR at either place.
  2. Good job! Not surprising the mayor doesn't believe the constitution applies to everyone.
  3. How'd you come up with that load for IMR4064? I've always read about the dangers of reduced powder charges.
  4. Forgot to add, I used large rifle primers and not LR magnum primers.
  5. I finally got to try some Trail Boss for reduced recoil loads in my 7mm rem mag at the range yesterday. They weren't exaggerating. The recoil was so light I'd have no problem letting a complete newbie fire the gun. Previously, I'd use a lead sled to hold the gun when I brought people to the range. If you have a gun that you don't bother firing much because of the recoil, I'd recommend it. I used this chart for my starting load: http://www.imrpowder.com/PDF/Trail-Boss-data.pdf I was going to do a comparison with some high-power stuff but it was so cold I had to leave the range. My hand was frozen.
  6. From what I read, the questions are worded to sound as if you're either pro gun control or pro gun violence. About as fair a poll I'd expect to see on NJ.com.
  7. I was also thinking of casting but am confused by the swaging process. The melting and pouring look straight forward but I read about different swagers and greases and it seems a little complicated. I've already stockpiled some lead and tin.
  8. It wasn't bad. There was at least one empty bench between the shooters at the 100 range.
  9. I was there today and didn't see anyone checking anything. I left at noon.
  10. Kodachrome can be processed as a black and white negative but you will lose the color info. There are mail order labs that will do this.
  11. It was late and I was tired but I got it in there. Took a vid
  12. I once accidently put my gas tube in upside down and accomplished the same thing. Talk about long day at the range.
  13. Oil doesn't compress. If there's any oil present in the chamber the cartridge will ride on it until it hits the bolt face. At least that's how I understand it.
  14. When you say "accepts," do you mean like the Williams WGRS-700 that bolts into the rear iron sight mount? The Lyman 57 I believe would need a gunsmith to fit the 700. Are you interested in hunting or target shooting? For hunting or a hunting style gun I'd use the Williams and for target I'd use the Lyman. I have a set of Redfield sights similar to the Lyman on my Remington 513T.
  15. If the chamber is oiled, how does the expanding cartridge lock to the chamber wall when fired?
  16. At least the comments are mostly supportive and not the anti-gun/cop the Post was expecting. Am I to understand that if your ex files a restraining order you have to give up your guns? If that's true, it's a powerful blackmail tool for divorce lawyers. The lesson I take from this is that if you have a gun lying around that isn't quite legal because the laws have changed since you bought it or inherited it get rid of it now!
  17. Sounds like you're not bringing your shoulder up enough to properly sight your rifle. Have someone watch you shoot to see if your form is correct. If that's not the problem, you're going to have to find a set that works for you. I also wear plugs and muffs when I shoot magnums and find that because of the plugs, I can use a much thinner set of ear muffs without a problem.
  18. IMO, searching the truck is legit because that's a likely place to hide an AW. Searching the glove compartment or other small compartments where such a gun wouldn't fit would not be legit.
  19. How do you know his mother didn't raise him in a rigid straightjacket of morality? I say that because I know a woman who raises her daughter that way. Wave the flag. Pray to God. Any typical moral positive she does tenfold in the most repressive way. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the daughter's become a stripper ten years down the road. If she had a son, I'd be afraid what he'd wind up doing. Parenting isn't as simple as "doing the right thing". Kids are individuals in themselves. Who can predict how a kid with a broken mind will react to any kind of parenting?
  20. Reminds me of the pre-911 hijacking response: "Just give the hijackers everything they want, offer no resistance, and no one will get hurt".
  21. I live near a school. Does this mean I have to give up my guns? And what happens if you drive by a school on the way to the range? Plus, a chip could be removed or deactivated easily. Not that the lunatic would care since he plans to die anyway.
  22. "Didn't know it was loaded" ..he could have shot the counterman or anyone else standing in the store.
