Agreed. I didn't look to see what they were charging for shipping. I was tempted to buy, was resisting. Told a friend about it, then decided we would split the case; out of stock by then. I'm in decent shape with factory ammo. Need to get production going reloading. Still don't have as many primers as I want.

You can still get US Law Shield in NJ.

That's odd since the last time I was there on a match day they had the code posted. Maybe it's a match by match case? Sucks, I know. I wanted to attend an IDPA at Old Bridge, but it was still members only.

You also have to get the Board of Health involved. I had to drill a new well several years ago; the area was rather empty when the original was done, then the mass invasion and buildup meant mine wasn't deep enough anymore. It was a few months of testing and fees from that alone. A buddy of mine has a private well that he can only use for outdoor use now. The town decided to do public water and forced everyone to hookup. The fines are rather high if he doesn't. Seems all kinds of illegal and un-American to me, but.... If your town did allow you to go private, what are you going to do with the waste? They bill for the sewage system by the water usage, they're not going to let you use the sewage system for free.

Most are open to the public, I know the Members Only Steel is not. All matches were closed to the public for awhile after they restarted after the wuhan flu shutdown. I think they've reopened again. Your best bet would be to email the Match Director for the one you want to check out. They post a code to get in by the gate, the MD has to give you the code to get out.

What "should" I be paying for generic clay/target ammo? Rogers has it around 30cpr; I'm new to clay shooting so I don't have a reference.

I ordered shotgun ammo from them back in August (might have seen the link here), no problems.

# is pounds. I'd only sell it face to face because nobody would be willing to pay the price I'd want to go through the hassle of shipping.

Thanks for the comments. I was questioning if they were steel, since I'd read steel was not reloadable, but I thought maybe that was only some calibers and didn't give it too much thought. I wasn't expecting a windfall by any means, but thought they'd be worth something. O well.

@blakejenna you can get some at 45cpr from a forum member.

I've acquired various cases in calibers that I do not own. So I am contemplating selling or trading, but I do not know the value. Chart below shows what I have, some I actually counted, most I weighed (rounded down to oz) with a digital kitchen scale. These are in various states of processing, when possible I went by notes left from the previous owner. Most is Brass with some Steel, assume Brass unless stated otherwise. Multiple brands as well. As per forum rules, I can not post these in the for sale area since I have not yet determined a price.

Heck, I'd sell some of my factory stock for $1 per round.

I was at a FFL at the end of Sept and the topic came up with another customer. The FFL said he had already received training on the system and had positive feelings about it. He said there was a way for us to see what permits we had as well. I did not ask, but will need to find out at some point, how an immediate family member transfer (not using a FFL) happens now, or does this new system kill that; even though I'd think that Legislature would require that change. I will be selling one of my handguns to my brother once he gets his FID & permit. My understanding with the paper permits was we filled it out, kept one copy each and one copy went to the State.

I don't think CTD has ever been cheap.

Looks like a mini-butcher knife.

Blazer for 50cpr. They call it Federal, did Federal buy CCI? https://www.rogerssportinggoods.com/federal-blazer-brass-9mm-115-gr-full-metal-jacket-50-rounds-per-box 46cpr for a case... https://www.rogerssportinggoods.com/Federal-Blazer-Brass-9mm-115-gr-Full-Metal-Jacket-Case-of-1000

That's what I'd always thought as well; and trust me I have zero delusions of being anywhere near that good. I'm more than willing to believe it was a coincidence or fluke, but not until I do some more testing.

http://recoilnj.com/ @Smokin .50 did a nice write up on them: Tried to link the fb article Rosey wrote, but it's not working for me. It's on the CNJFO fb page.

That's my long term goal, I am a ways away from that though. I have much more factory ammo right now than primers. I'm in fair-good shape with powder & projectiles.

I took my oldest brother on his first range trip today; his first time firing anything beyond a paintball gun. In addition to the goals of him shooting for the first time and shooting what will become his first gun once he gets his permit; I wanted to test the Blazer ammo I've been able to acquire in my handguns, I typically shoot Federal. I ran some Blazer 115gr, Blazer 124gr and Federal AE 124gr. all FMJ RN. I seemed to be slightly more accurate with the Blazer, which I found surprising. I say seemed, because I was not being as scientific as I could/should have been. I did make sure I was at the same distance and tried to keep everything the same; but I did not paste the targets each time. Not only was I not expecting a noticeable difference in accuracy, but even if I was, I'd think the Federal would be better. I know some guns prefer certain ammo as far as cycling or other malfunctions; and I'd read there can be significant accuracy differences with rifle ammo; but I was not expecting accuracy differences with handgun ammo at roughly 30-35 feet. My next trip out, I'll have someone load the magazines and handgun so I do not know what ammo I'm shooting. I'll also past the targets each time so my point of aim is also the same each time.

Condolences Bob. Losing a friend/mentor can be as tough as any loss. I lost a professional mentor to cancer several years ago. I still think of him several times a week. It's hard not to when I teach others what he taught me so many years ago.

We shoot?

From an article on Bearing Arms: "Scottsdale-based ammunition company Ammo Incorporated is facing an $80.1 million order backlog amid record demand for ammunition. “We’re working right now seven days a week, 24 hours a day in all the manufacturing plants,” said CEO Fred Wagenhals." I've never heard of Ammo Inc, they don't sell to NJ even if they had stock.
