Duuuuh, my bad. Makes sense since only a handful of peeps know my name. EDIT: On second thought, maybe I should participate. Two Eds are better than one...... <crickets>

Oh no, don't get me mixed up in this. I only provided the link to the match details and lamented my poor shooting skillz beyond 100. This is all Iggy's gig.

My SPR can do that all day. The problem is, I can't. When I do my part, I can shoot sub MOA at 100 Yards fairly consistently. As soon as I stretch out to 200, the groups open up to about 2-3". Never had the opportunity to shoot 300 yet. I'm still learning.

55gr M193 will perform better than 62 gr M855 only because of it's construction. If you want to shoot tight groups buy 69gr 75gr or 77gr OTM. If you just want to hit targets buy 55gr milsurp.

No problem. I was looking into it after your OP. I'd join the team but I want you to do well in the match.

I have a tip for anyone wanting to get a deal at the show. This is a general rule for any type of expo show. The best finds and deals are found and made during the first two hours of the show and the last two hours of the show. You have to be first in line every day.

Good deal if EMS is original owner. Maybe not so much if it's a hand-me-down from FHPD. Worth checking out though.

FYI Freehold EMS has an '01 Crown Vic for sale. $1,500.00

Oh yeah, forgot to mention this. If you don't already know, you want boxer primed if you reload or save your brass for future reloading.

I know a lot of folks love the steel case stuff, but I don't. Maybe in a pinch I'd shoot steel cased but I don't see a pinch coming my way for at least 15 years. I like to buy American whenever I can. All of my 5.56 is American Milsurp, well... almost all of it. I just bought some sealed packs of 62gr Prvi Partizan (PPU) for a rainy day. As for match grade .223, you won't find a better deal than PPU ammo. Right now you can pick up PPU 75gr OTM for about $0.48/rd. The cheapest US match grade I've seen is .75/rd. PPU has been in business for decades and is a NATO supplier. SG Ammo has some brass case german milsurp 148gr .308 on sale right now for .45/rd if you don't mind buying a 1000 rd case of it. They also have 168gr match grade PPU for .70/rd. Compare that to the average $1.30/rd for American made match grade.

If you can wait, hold off on trimming the burning bush until early spring. You can do it now but it would be better to wait. You can cut it back pretty far then if you want or Just trim it.

The first image is a Burning Bush. I would not recommend trimming it now. In a few weeks it will be a beautiful blazing red, hence the name. Trim it after it turns and most of the leaves have fallen. The second looks like a weeping cherry. You can make it look less gangely by hand pruning individual branches or just cut it with a hedge clipper to a uniform length. Personally, I prefer a more natural habit on weeping trees than a uniform cut but it's your choice.

Just the ones that don't want to get shot at.

870 Express. Good all around shotty. Too cheap to spring for a wing master

First, set up a video camera. Gather your facts/evidence over several days, keep a log of when they drive by. Second, Talk to your neighbors about the problem and see who's on board. Third, write and send a letter to the owner of the company. It's easy enough to find out who owns a company. Fourth, wait for a response. If the problem is solved, You are done. If they don't reply, or tell you to go pound sand, then call the cops and sign a noise complaint. If your neighbors are on board (have a spine) have them submit their own separate complaints. Next, go to a town council meeting and lodge your complaint there. Lastly, if all else fails, get a lawyer to send them a letter of intent to sue because they are disrupting your business and causing economic harm.

I KNEW IT! Peel is former CIA! btw, all I noticed was those leopard skin ear muffs.

It was great meeting everyone. I just want to let you know, I've probably already forgotten your names.... I'm terrible remembering names. A big thanks to those who brought the throwers and to those who threw the birds.

Jeep.

Not copper, rusted steel.

Just curious, how is the shootout organized? Do we form squads or is it more of a free-for-all?

Technically, as long as they are NJ legal, you don't need to do anything. It would be wise to apply for a NJ firearms purchaser id card aka fid or fpid card. Though NJ is not exactly 2a friendly, it's not as bad as NYC. There is lots of info on the subject here, questions asked and answered a million times, just look for it.

Mrs Peel, I have a fantastic sunblock for you. Pay no attention to the Sweet Baby Ray's lable. By the end of the day, you will be delic... You won't have to worry about sunburn. Just make sure you apply it often, about every 15 minutes.

Sunday's forecast for Clinton WMA. Mostly sunny with a high near 80. Occasional lead showers.

If every sin could be forgiven, there would be no need for Hell. Some things are just unforgivable.
