I don't have the FBP in my sp-01, but remember seeing posts on it in Enos. Sometimes that pin get a little bent and rubs against the firing pin causing light stiles. May want to double check that that is not your issue.

I did a test with the Ammoload (step inside like the FM) and there was basically no difference in velocity, so I doubt that there would be much pressure difference either. I had read that people who shoot Open 9mm guns (very high pressure) that some experienced case separation at that step. So that might be the only consideration.

Pitt, that would be Tactical.

If you do competition (eg 3-gun) consider the Stoger M3K instead. It is the M3000, but worked over for competition.

The coupons mention nothing about ammo restrictions.

I had the cashier at the Freehold store tell me that the 20% off coupon cannot be used for ammo. So I left it with him, and walked out. Must be a Jersey thing as I had no issues using a 20% coupon in Georgia a couple weeks before.

Howard, I believe you are an OBRPC member, yes? If so, go into your Profile and add the OBRAMS club and your membership number. Members can register a bit earlier.

A good one for all of the competitive shooters here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYGFDZkTWCk

They said that they have never endorsed anyone this early before. Everyone is especially nervous this time due to the Supreme Court situation.

As far as I know, the only state that will arrest and put you in jail for a spent casing is Washington DC. I suppose that a cop could say that it is "probable cause" and ask to search your vehicle. It's not illegal, but could open the door for a search if you feel like tempting that possibility. Let us know how it turns out?

You might want to try his newer 145 grain heads. They are RN (round nose) and I find that they are easier to load in my CZ mags. You can load 0.1 grain higher if you are near the limit on the power factor for the 147's. I had have his email as [email protected] And yes, his web certificate is expired. You may want to try a different web browser that lets you 'allow' access anyway. He is often at many matches (Old Bridge, CJ) and will bring them for you if you let him know. That saves you shipping.

That would be really funny, but I'm sure that guy was shooting blanks for safety and the whole goof of the thing.

If that is so, then it certainly backs up the de-encapsulation theory. Once you do that to the chip, it gets destroyed. By cutting the chip open, it makes it useless, however you are able to recreate the data that was on the chip, bit by bit. Kevin125, yes de-encapsulation is certainly a viable method. I have seen this first hand and know it works! It certainly would cost some $$$ to do this, but I'm sure they have no problem spending our tax dollars on that project.

From the sound of things, they probably de-encapsulated the flash chip. That requires removing the chip and removing all material until you get to the actual bits on the chip. Then you use an election microscope to read them and then recreate the actual data. I could be wrong, but it sounds that way from the news reports.

Smitty, I wish the original Tri-flon was still made. That stuff was the best! The newer Tri-flon is good, but nowhere near the original. [emoji37]

With that kind of money he could own lots of exotic rifles that you would probably want to hand load for. Also he mentioned that he does long range precision, so you would certainly want to do your own hand loads for that. He didn't mention how many rounds he reloads for. It may not be a huge quantity per year?

This would all but destroy the road racing in the US. In 2005, my friend was doing the Grand Am series (a subsidiary of the Rolex series). They initially told him that anyone racing the brand new 997 series Porsche 911's could not modify their exhaust systems. After the very first race, the all of the new 997's, that were racing, *melted* the catalytic converters and would barely run after the race. They cannot take that kind of use. So this regulation would make it impossible to even race any street cars, even though these cars are far from street legal when they are finished with them. This whole thing is totally ridiculous. Time to get rid of all the 3 letter govt agencies (EPA, DOE, etc.)....

They are great bullets and a excellent price. I did shoot around 500 out of my G35 so far and the barrel looked fine. He often brings them to matches for us. You may want to try and meet with him at one of the Old Bridge or Central Jersey (Jackson) USPSA events.

Jim corrected the divisions, so you should be good to go.

Congrats!

Someone I know in Delaware did something cool and so far he's had no trouble. He got a sticker made, with reflective properties, that he put on the front of his Porsche GT-3. Looks like a real plate, however it does not lay flat as it curves with the bumper. That way he doesn't ruin the bumper by drilling holes or mess up the aerodynamics.

Totally depends on the powder you are using.

If your car is registered as a Classic or Collector car, the front plate isn't required. I don't remember which statute it is, but keep a printed copy in my Collector car just in case. They also do not go thru inspection so there is no sticker in the windshield.

You may want to look into refrigerators that run off of propane. They are used in the RV market. In our 88 VW camper we have a built-in fringe that runs off of 120v AC, 12v DC and propane. It can run for a week (or more) on a small tank of propane.
