Well I finally got some time off work and ordered some equipment so lets get started on another hobby! Monday I spent $277 on Amazon and got the Lee Classic Turret press, The Lee book, A nice scale, primer pocket tools, Lee decapping die, Lee .45 carbide dies and a powder scoop set to get started. I'm hoping to get a nice set of calipers and a hand primer this weekend at the Oaks show. I started to make a tumbler today, here's how that went... I went to Lowes and man I'll tell ya that stuff aint cheap. I got a 10' peace of 6" pvc, two end caps and some heavy duty screws. Then over to Home Depot and got for a 1 1/2"x 3/4" pvc trim and 4" knock out plug. I got home and drilled a 4" hole in one of the end caps Then cut a 19" piece off of the pipe and three 19" pieces of the trim. Sanded everything smooth and installed the trim by pre drilling the holes and countersinking them with a counter sink bit. Used the heavy duty screws and walahh I was going to glue them on but of course my PVC glue was no good,,, sad face... So I got a little bit of a start on the machine end... Took some 1" box tube I had and made a frame. Then I got hungry and ate some dinner, sorry, no pic... Tomorrow I have some goodies coming in the mail and I will get some more work done on the tumbler. I'm new to this and would love all the constructive criticism youze guys can throw at me.

Thanks Ken, will do. I have a nice scale coming tomorrow with my press.

I don't think Ill be double charging any cases for now because I spent more money on equipment than I thought I was going to so I just got this http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-Powder-Measure-Kit/dp/B000N8OIE8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391479082&sr=8-1&keywords=lee+powder+dipper to charge the cases for now.

Thanks bud, I'm thinking about the Cabela's trip Friday so maybe I'll stop by there on the way up.

I tried to call Lock's before I left and they are closed Mondays, sad face... I'm back home now ordering my equipment from Amazon.

Thats beautiful man.

Wow, thank you guys so much! I wrote it all down and I'm going to be in NE Philly tomorrow afternoon so I'm going to stop by Locks Gun Exchange and see if I can grab a couple diffrent kinds of the ones you guys said.

Going to get started in the wonderful world of reloading. Been looking on the internet alot as to what powder I should get and just getting confused. How did youze guys figure out what powder you wanted to get? I want a clean burning powder that works good in the auto disk thing for the Lee Classic Turret. The gun is a Springfield Range Officer and I want to get started in USPSA. I have a Cabelas gift certificat and will be taking a trip up there next week. I'm also close to X Ring in DE and Ill be going to the Oaks show next weekend so if what you guys recomend is at those places that would be great. Thanks in advance.

WTF, I just bought the 1911 22, story of my life...

Really, I may head up there for that. All the ones down here are $200.

Hey T Bill how much is the clinic?

Thanks man I was thinking about getting that one.

If your planning for the end of the world go to a small airport and get 100LL, it has a 7 year shelf life.

Hey Heavyopp what hand priming tool do you use?

I think I'm going to order this one next week. Looks like a good deal and not really any bad reviews on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Micro-Touch-Electronic-Scale-7750700/dp/B00AU6CCB4

Thanks Steve. Check out my holster Barms, the top is removable so I can fast draw from it for competition. I just have to get a good speed mag pouch thing and Ill be set. Going to look for some at the next Oaks gun show. The one that came with the Range Officer has the mags facing the wrong way for me.

Barms, I have a sweet holster, Ill post a pic tomorrow. Steve_G, i didnt get a chance to really look over the CW site too well, with their performance kit do they match the barrel cap with the barrel bushing? I know the ZRTS they do so its like having a matched barrel. I want to order on monday but not shure who I want to go with.

Thanks man

Thanks bud, I do have do get some of then mag bottoms, I heard the stock ones break easy and I do want to get started in IDPA and USPSA. I found this place and was thinking about getting their kit for $70 that improves accuracy http://www.zrtacticalsolutions.com/ Yeah, not really a fan of the Glock, triggers are weird. Thanks man, I'm going to get some dummy rounds pretty soon. Whats this about eliminating the slide screw???

Wow man 27 that's awesome! I'm actually thinking already about the 9mm Range Officer... we shall see...

Owning two 1911's! I got my first pistol 31 days ago, a Springfield Range Officer and love it. Unfortunately I started to anticipate the shot and flinch the barrel and all that stuff so I figured I better scale it back a bit and get a 22 and learn how to shoot better. Today I got the Sig 1911 22. It feels almost just like the .45. I didn't have a lot of time to shoot it today (work) but I did get 60 rounds through it. I'm already shooting twice as good as before. I think part of my problem with the .45 is the sights, they are all black target sights and I guess I cant see them very well. The Sig has yellow dots and they show up great. I read all the reviews about the Sig, some good, some bad, some amazing and so far all I can say is I think I'm really going to like this gun. Here is my second target at 60 feet.

Dont care who wrote it, it works. Call the number on there (njspfiu) and ask them if they are finished with your papers.

I think the Gun Rack in Vineland has one in stock. I was concidering it but got the Sig 1911 22 instead.
