9mm @ PSA
I've run into very tight primer pockets with S&B brass. Keep in mind if you plan to reload.

"Importing" your own beer, swill, etc.
I love bock type beers but they seem difficult to find here. I have found Shiner, Paulander, Troegenator and sometimes Sam Adams Double Bock.

Reactive Targets
MidwayUSA often runs these deals on factory seconds of these orange peel targets. I've gotten these many times and never found any defects with them... http://www.midwayusa.com/product/867456/caldwell-orange-peel-target-5-1-2-self-adhesive-bullseye-factory-seconds-package-of-50?cm_vc=wishList

NJ.com video piece."The gun lobby is right this time"

Ran out of Clay's
What other powders have you tried for .45 and why don't you like them? Soloman's always has Bullseye whenever I go there. It's little dirty and you have have to keep a close eye for over charging but I found it to be great for .45.

Aguila 22 LR at Midway
.076 Per round - not bad if you tack on some other crap to justify the shipping. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/828721/aguila-superextra-ammunition-22-long-rifle-40-grain-plated-lead-round-nose-box-of-500-10-boxes-of-50?cm_vc=wishList

Smart Gun law kicks in now?
I hate to give him any ideas but what if Bloombooger gets one of his fellow communists to open a gun shop and starts selling these - that would activate the law, correct?

S&W 357 revolver in stock? RTSP?
I've been looking for a 627 Performance Center or one of the new 986 Pro Series revolvers too.

Court rules against Jersey City permitting requirements
Apparently the court thinks that blatantly breaking the law is not being unreasonable... “We do not conclude in this decision that Jersey City's inquiries were unreasonable or made in bad faith,” reads the 21-page ruling, released today. “However, the Legislature or the Superintendent of the State Police must authorize any requirement or condition for issuance of a handgun permit that goes beyond the terms of the statute and the State Police.” http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2014/04/report_jersey_citys_gun_permit_application_asks_too_many.html#incart_river And of course the Star Ledger has to get their dig in by headlining dozens of pictures of a gun buyback with the article, which has absolutely nothing to do with lawful citizens seeking firearms permits.

Court rules against Jersey City permitting requirements
Appeals court rules against some questions on Jersey City gun permit application - http://www.northjersey.com/news/appeals-court-rules-against-some-questions-on-jersey-city-gun-permit-application-1.1004488 Wasn't there a similar case recently that the appeals court ruled against the town and forced them to comply? I guess every town that adds extra requirements is going to have to be taken to court.

I think something happened to my die...
Lee's instructions... I usually put a decapped case in the ram, elevate it into the die so that when you loosen the clamp nut the decapping pin doesn't fall through. Snug the clamp nut and push the decapping pin up a hair, then fully tighten.

Which case to get?
I have a few cases from AceCase.com that are built well and not too expensive. They have a thick strap loop at the muzzle end that I hook a carabiner clip to so I can hang it upright. Most of the loops on other cases wear out and break over time. I received one yesterday that had one carry handle larger than the other. My opinion of them may change depending on how they handle this (no reply to my email to them yet).

No more reference letters for p2p in my town..anyone else?
Toms River never contacted any of my references for several P2Ps over the last few years. Last round of permits (picked up today) took two weeks.

Buying Powder in NJ... FID Necessary?
I've been to Soloman's and Cheyenne Mountain several times this past couple years to buy powder - as recently as last week at Soloman's. Both places always ask me for my FID and write it in a log every time.

CJN Casting
It's about a 5 minute drive for me. The nearest other places (Soloman's and Cheynne) are about 45 mins.

CJN Casting
I went to CJN Casting last night - they were open til 8:00 I believe. They had primers (SSP, LPP, SRP and LRP) and a refrigerator full of powder (I saw one pounders of Varget, W748, Red Dot, Green Dot, WST, WSF and several others). They also had some once fired brass. Quantities and selection are small but it's definitely worth taking a trip there and picking something up even if you don't need it right now. Prices were reasonable and the gentleman working there was very nice and helpful. It would be great to see this place develop further into becoming a full reloading supply store.
