Thanks Mike, I'm definitely going. Should I email Jim? Whats his email?

Cool thanks guys, I should be there around 8:30.

I didn't know there was actually a certain number of spots. I really don't want to drive 2 hours and not be able to shoot.

I just tried to sign up and it said the match is full, whats the deal?

This is awesome news!!! I was just bitching a couple days ago about Obama cutting air shows.

Ill give it a chance, I'm just use to my trusty ol 1911. I can put them all in the same hole with that.

I went to the range today with mine. Only my second time shooting my new Shield. All I can say is that gun sucks, it barely hits a 12" target at about 35 feet.

Got my shield mags today, they were at the post office saturday but I couldnt get them because I was shooting IDPA. Thanks again iCarry.

Karateman for the win!!! What if the criminal has a 100 round drum just for the simple fact that he is a criminal. I guess if they make it a law they figure when you buy it in PA it magicly dissapears when you cross the bridge.

Yup, now I just gotta find an 8# jug of it lol. and the winning lottery ticket... btw. My Range officer is a freaking tack driver now with 230 TMJ's loaded at 4.1gr of clays at 1.25OAL. I really regret buying 500 factory rounds to get me started lol.

You got that right Ken. I loaded 30 rounds for my 9mm and the Auto Comp meeters exactly the same every time through the Lee powder measure. I loaded about 50 rounds with it for the .45 and same thing, exact weight every time. After some better testing I decided I like the Clays for the .45. The 9mm is just a fun gun so I'm going to use the Auto comp for that. I made 2 diffrent loads for the 9mm S&W Shield with Auto comp. The hotter one had one stove pipe out of 15 rounds and the 15 rounds of the smaller load worked great. The gun only has 65 rounds through it so far so the stove pipe may not be the loads fault. The Shield kinda has a crappy feed ramp so that may need some more rounds through it to seat in a little better. I also tried to use my IMR 700x to make some loads for the 9mm but that stuff didnt meeter the same at all in the powder measure.

Wow thanks Vlad that's pretty cool. I have been shooting Clays at 4.1gr because it seems to have less perceived recoil than Auto comp at a medium load. T Bill, as always you are the man. I've been looking for an answer like that all day lol. You even broke it down with the explanations and everything. Thanks again.

Is there a sight that breaks down all the abbreavations for bullets? I got some Berries bullets and got the load data from the hogden site but the box does not match the load data title. The load data title is 124 GR. BERB HBRN TP. So far I know that stands for Berrys bullets, hybred round nose but what does the TP stand for? The bullets are copper coated TMJ's round nose 124gr. 9mm.

I really dont see the point in "hording" 22's if the SHTF WTF good is a 22?

Theres no way I got last place, you forgot to factor in my fun points.

DOAH!!!

http://www.nereloading.com/ will probably be at the oaks show. He has winchester primers and TMJ bullets. Your lookin at 100 bucks right there. The only way your gona get powder there is by getting there friday at 12:45. When you go in the entrance, turn left and go all the way to the end of that first isle. The guy in the corrner mighnt have IMR700x. You have to go there first because by 2pm all pistol powder will be gone. Its about 20 bucks. If you find any thing else you better play the lottery that night.

Hey thanks guys, I'm thinking about the Old Bridge match, mighnt be kinda far for me. Now I know next time to bring a drill lol.

I want to add that I can do 50 rounds in 12 minuets on the classic turret to so you will not need to upgrade any time soon of you go with it.

Dsclamer...I'm no expert on this subject, I have only loaded 490 rounds so far. Get the Lee classic turret press like Hiker 88 said. Amazon has it for $97. Dont get a "kit" because half of the stuff it comes with is junk, like the scale. I got a Lyman 1500 scale from amazon for about $55. It works awesome. You need a good caliper. About the crimp die, if you get the Lee 4 die set for .45 the factory crimp die has a built in chamber checker so thats a nice bonus... The most importatnt thing about reloading besides safety glasses is taking your time and reading lots of books before you get started.

I just got an email that says... Quantico Tactical has sent you a 1 box shipment via USPS The tracking number is: Etc.... I used USPS for the shipping.

NEVER SCRAP BRASS!!! Just give it to some one who will use it.

Thanks bud

Youze guys are killing my bank account!!! Got 3 mags for my Shield on the way, thanks iCARRY.
