Depends what I'm in the mood for. That's the beauty of the hot dog, you can make it YOURS. Sometimes just mustard. Sometimes mustard and ketchup. Sometimes just ketchup. Sometimes ketchup and relish. Sometimes mustard and a pickle slice with some onions. Sometimes mustard, onions, pickles and bacon. Sometimes chili Sometimes chili and cheese Sometimes chili, cheese an onions. I do consider myself a bit of a hot dog aficionado. One of my favorite past times is jumping on the Harleys with my old man, riding out to Bethlehem, PA to go to Yocco's and make my way east eating hot dogs at places like Hot Dog Johnny's in Buttzville, Charlie's Pool Room in Alpha, Toby's Cup in Phillipsburg, Hot Rod's in Glen Gardner, Jimmy Buff's in East Hanover, and ending at Rutt Hutt... can hit two or three or four of those in a day without dealing with shore traffic. And of course the entire next day is spent rehydrating and flushing all of the nitrates out!

Thanks everyone. I've worked my way up from 2.7 to 3.1 gr of Titegroup in my PPK and found 3.0 is ideal for the PPK with the tightest groupings. That 3.0 gr was ideal with the Montana Gold 95 gr. FMJ... I guess I'll try working up to those same loads with the Montana Gold 95 gr. JHP. Thanks all!

As the title suggests... I've gotten my hands on 100 rounds of 95 gr. .380 JHP bullets from Montana Gold Bullets. I know there are some dimensional variations between the same weight 95 gr. JHP and FMJ. Just want to make sure I'm not inadvertently overloading these rounds. I've got Lyman and Speer, but they skip over 95 gr. JHP. I've got 700-X and Titegroup to work with. For the record, I'm loading up a few varieties of .380 with 95 grn. before I mess with the JHP's.

Glad to hear that you're okay. I'll tell you one thing that fascinated me when I was learning to reload. Calibers like .380 and .45 ACP run up to 21,500 psi. As a scuba diver, I dive with 3,500 psi strapped to my back in a steel tank. As a shooter, I'm putting 21,500 psi in front of my face. And technically 21,500 is nothing compared to some rifle cartridges. A .308 will be up around 62,000 psi. That thought makes my ass pucker from time to time.

Welcome, from Madison. If you ever shoot at RTSP, maybe I'll see you over there!

Wow! I just turned in the application for 3 more into Madison today. I asked if it's still around 2 months, and the response was "yes, but maybe a bit shorter" Sounds favorable, but I'm not holding my breath!

Yep! The only way to get someone on the fence to see your side is to get them behind the trigger. I've converted a few fence-sitters into gun-nuts, I've turned some anti-gunners into fence-sitters. Once they realize it's not all about Yee-haw and blowing stuff up and that it actually can be done safely, they have a tendency to come to our side. At least in my experience.

Once-fired mixed headstamp I assume?

And of course being a responsible gun owner, someone asked me about this today, looking for me to stand behind their irrational behavior. Frankly, they're idiots and are doing more harm than good. Don't lump me in with these clowns. I'll take CC over OC anyway.

I've had the same great experience there. Popped in on a whim on Thursday and was greeted by a bunch of knowledgeable, passionate guys. I asked if they had any pistol powder in stock and they were ELATED that they just got some in and could help out. Started talking about our toys, what I was reloading, what I shot. Well, the fact that I'm two Walthers in and am about to buy a third, they wanted me to check out the PPS they had just gotten in stock. If it weren't a 40 caliber, I'd have been all over it, but the 5 round capacity just wouldn't cut it. Anyway, super nice guys, had pistol powder in stock. Had just about everything I needed but .380 bullets. I ordered those online as I'm trying to scope out a few manufacturers. I'll definitely be back to Garden State Armory!

Careful, about ten years ago my Rottweiler was killed by a deer. My dog was chasing a doe and a buck started into the chase, caught up to my dog, and speared him. Paralyzed him from the waist down and we had to put him down.

I've had my GoPro from 120' under water diving shipwrecks to 85 mph mounted on the handlebars of my Harley. I wouldn't hesitate to put it on a rifle or pistol. I'd like to get this setup once I get an AR of my own. http://theaccessorypro.com/products/gun-rail-mount-center-gopro-hero-picatinny-weaver

Just stopped in tonight... I got so excited they had PISTOL POWDER that I forgot to look at everything. They did have a Dillon press, some manuals, some powders, but I didn't notice much else. They did have some ammo, including .22 (even Mini-Mags). Got caught up talking with the gentlemen behind the counter and have to say that I really felt at home with these guys and would happily pay a little bit extra for the service there. Andy and the crew of Garden State Armory & Reloading were great.

I'll have to swing by on my way home from the office tomorrow!

Waffling between a 1973 Manurhin/Walther PP in .32 ACP and a brand spanking new Walther PPQ M1 in 9mm.

Jealous! I'd have a PPQ in the safe if that were the case!

That would be nice... I'd have a PPQ in the safe right now if that were so!

Totally depends on municipalities. Mine won't extend if it's even a day expired.

Wow! Sounds like a great place!

Just found out Madison won't extend if it's past it's initial 90 days. May 4th came and went. Time to apply for 3 more!

Googling NJ Gun Laws... I landed here and haven't left since!

This might just get me to swing for the membership after all! I've been waffling at the $350 but with the potential for a new toy or two. If only you'd take my old little safe and give me a new one so I had the room!

I won't buy over $0.10 a round unless it's CCI Mini-Mags. I'll go up to $0.13 or so for those because my P22 REALLY likes them.

That's what I'm afraid of. My current living situation doesn't allow me to store a rifle so no sense in reloading. I'm just keeping an ear to the ground for just about any pistol powder right now.

So I've got some cash set aside for a reloading press and other equipment. I'm holding off on buying until I can track down some Winchester 231 or HP-38 powder. I can get the rest of the reloading components, just not the powder at the moment. Can't wait to get started!
