  1. I am going to let him know that I appreciate his effort and make a donation to his campaign fund. And I will let all of the antis that I constantly write to know that I made a donation to him for this reason.
  2. Thanks, appreciate the info. I think I may have a fairly good shooter, even though it is counter bored the rifling is clean and it shoots the surplus ammo pretty well.
  3. Exactly, this is why I reload. Excellent grouping there, I may just start with a .308 and see how it works.
  4. It depends on the brass, if they are Berdan primed than you can't relaod (well you can if you can get the primer out but it is extremely difficult) if they are Boxer primed then no problem.
  5. I actually have a few Mosins and will be making a shooter out of one of them, depending on how each of them shoot with some reloads. I am fairly confident that I can get close to MOA accuracy or maybe a little better with one of these rifles just by working up a reload. Once I have a reload then I can tinker with some additional accurizing or maybe a new stock, who knows.
  6. I have plenty of brass cases in 7.62X54R, so that won't be a problem. I doubt I can reload for $0.19/round but I should be fairly inexpensive with reloads, and hopefully I can improve accuracy with the right mix.
  7. Thanks, I know better than to try a wood dowel but I had better check my lead sinkers to see if they are pure lead. I will start with something around .309 or so and see how it goes. Thanks again.
  8. I have decided that I would like to try some reloads for my Mosin (91/30 basic inexpensive Aim purchase but shoots good) and in order to find the true barrel ID I will have to slug the barrel. Anything I should know or watch out for? I have plenty of lead fishing weights, and I put an inside micrometer down the barrel as far as I couls past the coutnerbore (lD came back as .311 but that was only 5 inches down the barrell). My guess is I should start with something like a .309 slug and see how hard it is to push down, if it goes too easily up it by 0.002 and try again, lube and repeat until I have a snug fit. The gun shoots 4" groups at 100 yards now, hopefully I can find a reload that is a bit more accurate, even if i don't I still want to reload for this gun. Thanks, any info is appreciated.
  9. Which one are you, that is, what instrument do you play?
  10. And what time are you playing?
  11. Thanks for the heads up, and I understand that the comfort of the employees is important, but the last time I was there I don't recall the range being heated.
  12. jm1827 replied to siderman's topic in Handguns
    You are a better man then me, I do the opposite, apply for 2 or 3 PPs then figure out what to buy.
  13. Exactly, it is happening in California already with several manufacturers refusing to sell semiautomatic handguns. Unfortunately this is exactly what the liberals want.
  14. It is a business decision, but I will certainly make sure I let them know that 1) I personally do not appreciate it, 2) It is definitely making things harder on law abiding NJ gun owners and 3) I will not be buying from them in the future, not lowers or anything else for that matter.
  15. I have shot plenty of various rifle calibers and no problems, some actually group better than some of the more premium rounds.
  16. For the past several years it has taken me between 5-1/2 and 6 months for anything to go through the Hamilton NJSP. Hopefully you are getting close.
  17. I have to say the last month or so it has become even harder to find. My normal spots (Cheyenne and Tanners) used to have at least some at reasonable prices but the last few times I stopped they had none. So, from my very limited sampling I would say it has become a bit more scarce recently.
  18. Sooooo true, it is an actual political tactic based on red herring attention grabbing. When a politician has no other means of proving their worth they typically create some bogeyman that diverts attention away from their incompetence. Many years ago it was prohibition (an accurate metaphor for banning sales of certain types of guns), if you can scare a population enough about any single item and then focus all of your political efforts against that item you look like a hero and get reelected.
  19. I haven't shot the Ruger American Rimfire yet but I do have a Ruger American in .243 and absolutely love it, great gun for the money and I am already shooting sub MOA out to 100 yards. I also have a Savege MKII .22 bolt action. Great gun for the $$ (under $200 new), mine has a few thousand rounds through it with no problems. Not a sub-MOA gun but under 2" groups at 100 yards.
  20. For mild and tasty Cholula, for downright hot- Scorned Woman Hot sauce We used to make hot cayenne based hot sauce all the time, made Scotch Bonnet based one time and had to wear scuba gear just to finish cooking it, it was that hot!
  21. This is exactly what I have been doing, started with my wife (who now loves shooting), then some friends, some of which even joined the range after they got an FID and their first gun. I am also going to start writing ALL of the bill sponsors explaining why these bills are nothing more than an attack on honest, law abiding citizens and explain why they won't do anything to curb gun violence. We all need to stick together and never stop fighting and educating others.
  22. One of the reasons I personally haven't gone to a movie in 20+ years!
  23. Are the comments in Russian or is it just me?
  24. Thanks- I was waiting for another round of free shipping from them, I still have some coupons left!
