Are you sure she didn't say acetaminophen? That's much, much harder on the liver if you exceed recommended dosages.

That may be the case for making syrup on a small scale, but I save a ton of money by reloading handgun and rifle ammo. The savings paid off the investment in reloading equipment many, many years ago, and for anything I can load on a progressive press, it's not a bad return on my time, either. And I've done all of the load tweaking, so it's more accurate, too. Target shotgun loads are the only thing I don't bother to reload anymore. The cost savings are too small relative to all of the cheap trap and skeet loads on the market.

Fixed that for you.

I've heard they are also pricing their bullseye matches right out of the market. On the NJPistol site, the April Outdoor 2700 is showing as 'on hold'.

"Sniper carbine"???

I might go as high as Condition 0.6 in describing a loaded Glock, but I'm really chiming in to say I like fractional description.

Nothing. Too much hype, too little data to back it up. Waaaayyyy too much snake oil in the supplement market. Eat a reasonably balanced diet appropriate for your activity level, and call it a day.

It depends on the event, and sometimes on the division, but often there is no limit to how light the trigger can be. I don't believe there was a limit in the victim's event. Conventional/Bullseye comes to mind as having minimum trigger pull restrictions. At the other end of the scale, free pistol triggers are often set to 1/4 oz or so, but those single shot precision pistols are a very different beast. http://www.morini.ch/fotoart/155.jpg

Cool. Congratulations! So now if I complain on the official customer service line about, well, anything at all, you send me a new rifle?

Nice! I smoked a boneless leg of lamb today. Dry brined overnight, olive oil, rosemary, oregano, garlic, bay leaf, salt, pepper, paprika rub. 3.5 hours over apple smoke. Un friggin believable.

Well, a lot depends on how much you like or dislike the neighbor... A shotgun may be a reasonable choice for the scenario you describe. Glaser safety slugs in a handgun would be another option (especially in a revolver...it would get expensive to shoot enough in a semiauto to convince oneself that they cycle with absolute reliability).

I've had really good luck posting things in the "free" section of Craigslist. There seems to be no end to the crap people will haul off if they get it for free. And if you don't want to deal with the in-person visit, just schedule with the interested party, then say you can't be there but will leave the item at the curb. Voila-gone!

Great news! If only we as a group were as successful at swinging NJ assembly and gubernatorial elections...

SCFGPA annual renewals are $214 with tax, though you can do a work day (4 hours or so) and knock $50 off of that. I'm not sure what the initiation fee is. They're not currently accepting members, but I don't know if they are maintaining a waiting list. They have a nice outdoor archery range in addition to the 25 yard indoor and 100 yard underground rifle range. The 100 yard range is LOUD, but burying two long concrete pipes was the best they could do once the neighborhood got too build up for outdoor shooting. You can only shoot from the bench on the 100 yard range--no provision for position shooting.

Yep, just saw that in my inbox. Bummer.

I'm not affiliated with the match, but bumping it anyway--it's a blast. I'll be there, though I'll be rolling in late. Say 'Hi' if you get a chance; I'll be wearing a tan Idaho cap while on the range.

We have to do that here in NJ. We live on a 2/10 mile lane, with town signage, on the town map, etc., etc. Years ago, the town decided that our lane and a few others in the neighborhood would henceforth be private lanes, and they won't plow or maintain them, offer brush or leave pickup, etc. Too much trouble or expense or something--it happened before we moved here. So we're on our own for those basic services. And we're NOT remote, the town hall, PD, FD, etc is just 3/10 mile away, in a solidly suburban area. But we've had no luck fighting it. We used to have a lane patching day every spring, but the pavement had degraded so much over the years that two years ago we were up to 4000 lbs/year of bagged patch mix just to fill the potholes. So last year, the six homes on the lane finally agreed to have the whole lane re-paved, at our expense. That's not cheap... The town does manage to collect property taxes, at an obscenely high rate even by NJ standards, but that's about all they do.

I wasn't going to chime in at all, and now I have to come up with something related to surface area? :-) Other variables would include whether or not an isotope gets concentrated in the body and where (strontium goes for bone, iodine for the thyroid, tritium goes friggin' everywhere) and whether it is primarily an alpha, beta, or gamma emitter. I didn't watch the video...was strontium 90 really once thought to have a half life of half a million years?

I know what you mean, referencing radioactive material from the atomic blasts. But those who died before 1945 still have radioactive material in their bones...Carbon 14 and Potassium 40, among others.

Or the case of bringing home +2 extensions for your 10 round Glock 26 mags, while also possessing 15 round Glock 19 mags that the extensions fit just fine.

I grew up on a farm out west, and Dad started me out with a .22 rifle when I was 7, and with a .22 pistol and .410 shotgun around age 9. Then it was off to the races...but with a very good understanding of gun safety I didn't understand it at the time, but Dad saw all the trouble my idiot friends were getting into with their BB guns, so I was last in my peer group to get one. He gave me a .22 rifle for my 12th birthday, but only after showing that I understood the responsibility for a year did I finally get a BB gun for my 13th birthday. It took a few more years for me to realize how smart that was. Unfortunately, I don't know what policies the local commercial ranges have for kids.

The site in the link is down at the moment, but I'll vote when it's up. I was all set to make a southerner joke when I saw "Sister" and "Spouse" in the thread title, but when I saw you use "y'all" in the message body I figured you had made it too easy. :-) Update: done

It would also be fake if it were actually a hologram. :-)

I agree completely. I don't carry my PBA cards, because I would never show one if stopped. I can't stand the cronyism, the two-tiered justice system, that they represent. I don't know if I've ever gotten a ticket that could have been avoided had I just waived a card and claimed that I 'knew someone'. But that shouldn't be relevant, and so I enjoy the peace of mind that comes from not playing the game.

OK, I'm waaayyyy behind the curve on this...but I just learned tonight that Mike Dillon passed away in early November. https://www.dillonprecision.com/rememberingmikedillon.html On this forum, he was best known for his awesome reloading presses (and the Blue Press catalogs)...but he was also an accomplished aviator, restorer of vintage aircraft, and competitive shooter. I'm going to honor his memory by cranking on the RL 550B for awhile. I think he'd like to be remembered that way.
