Agree, some of the products are super salty, probably 90% of a lethal dose. Don't eat two servings. Kidding aside, I stocked up on Mt House and have sampled most of the products. MH is not for casual dining, it is survival and camping food, both activities where one needs to replenish salt and other essential nutrients. I think of it as chewable Gatorade.

Members have been trying to help you with the situation. You have received every bit of advice needed to resolve your problem, yet, the thread still lives on sucking up oxygen. In my decades long experience, people come with a problem, they get answers and move on. For some reason, you seem to be unwilling to accept the very good advice people have spent time giving you, refusing to let a trivial matter go. There are limits to how much whining people are willing to endure.

This thread has outlived it's usefulness. Like the mayfly, the unnecessarily verbose churlish rant should have died shortly after it was born.

You are twisting your own arm, nobody is forcing you. Patience is a virtue, and saves money too. If you want any high ticket item, like yesterday, then you are gonna have to work to find it, pay whatever the seller is asking and agree to the seller's terms. If you can't do that, then you will have to put together a plan B which may include considering a different, but equally good alternative. If the seller you found on GB is also a LGS/FFL, then just contact the LGS directly. Problem solved.

^^^THIS^^^ Gunbroker is overpriced anyway.

I'll take it. PM inbound.

With similar posts on forums in four states using new accounts created in the past 48 hours....

Soooo.... Nobody is curious as to why someone who claims to have JUST moved to Cali has joined a Podunk NJ gun forum? Here's a tip folks. The lack of candor in intros is directly proportional to the number of PM scams that land in your in-box. I bet he has a friend somewhere that is looking to sell you unobtanium at 1/3 the cost. I could be wrong, but, when it comes to sniffing out scammers, it's rare.

Apparently Snipes.

What are you hunting in the dark?

Just like all drug cartels do, the state protects it's turf. Nobody sells nutt'n in dirty jerz without the state wetting its beak.

Soooo, if biodegradable bags are so wonderful and cheap, uhm, why aren't they using them in grocery stores now? Like, problem solved, for everyone. It seems fairly obvious.

Are you using faster powder under the 125s?

Just wondering what recipes Garand reloaders here are using. I have the basic book specs, what I'm most interested in is what you've done to work up pet loads, things like any special case prep, favorite bullet weight, throat lead in, etc. Garand specific.

Did you contact the FFL by phone prior to the sale? Have you called the FFL now that you know the info is stolen?

That was the red flag that got ignored. Here's an example of a common and frequent scam right here on njgf, just one example of many I've rec'd in PM over the years. I put asterisks in pace of the email address. The forum admins/mods should be able to track the scammers IP address to a general location. If the IP of the place you sent money is in Florida or Pakistan, you definitely have a problem. Never EVER send money to anyone that does not have at least ten meaningful posts.

You took what I wrote entirely too seriously.

^^^ this ^^^ For starting out in trap and sporting clays, an O/U or a semi auto is the ticket. I do not recommend a pump action, simply because there is an additional movement that requires training and concentration to stay on target. It will detract from your game. Though, if all one has is a pump, it will still get the job done, it's just a bit more tedious when shooting at multiple targets or for any length of time. Generally speaking, pumps are hunting guns first, meant to take a handful of "targets" a day. The main benefit to an O/U is two chokes, reliability also rates high. It won't make much difference in the beginning, but as you get better, you will be able to take advantage of having that flexibility of two chokes. It's handy when there's varying distance to target such as you may find in sporting clays. On better trap/skeet guns, the barrel is weighted forward for good balance and a smooth follow through. Semi autos are very popular because of the perception of softer recoil, but be aware that some fiddling may be necessary to get them to cycle with target loads. Not all, just some. A few autos can be tweaked with an adjustable gas port, others require springs replaced or some other tinkering. If you decide to go with a semi, just make sure it can cycle lighter target loads or be adjusted in some way or another. A 28" bbl is good for trap and great for sporting clays and skeet. A 30 or 32 inch barrel is ideally what you'd want for a dedicated trap gun, but would be awkward for sporting clays. If you really get bit by regulation trap, you may find yourself shopping for a single barrel trap gun (Browning BT-99 for example). That's a ways off though. You need to find out if you like the sport before plunking down $1800+ for a single purpose shotgun. Oh yeah, and reloading One does not need an expensive shotgun to enjoy clay shooting, at least not in the beginning. If you are busting clays just for fun, there is no practical difference between a $400 shotty and a $2,000 masterpiece. Start with the best in a reasonable price range, then when you hit a performance wall, that's the time to start looking for something more purpose built. If your score doesn't improve, give up trap, you suck at it.

Oh, if only this was a righty I'd take it in a heartbeat. I had a Ruger original recipe RAR in 243 and it was a tack driver, right up to when the barrel heated up. The predator line fixed all that with a heavier barrel more suitable for a shooting bench or varmint hunt where there won't be a lot of walking around. The price to accuracy ratio is insane, you'd be hard pressed to find a better rifle for the money.

What is the soil like? Have you tilled anything into it

I'll give u a good deal on hauling that junk. It's a little out of my way, but for a friend....

I'm pretty sure the combo can be changed when the case is open.

Shooting someone else's reloads is always a gamble, you have no idea what's in 'em. Are you saying they fit in a different revolver, but not the Colt you mentioned?

Have you weighed it? My configuration is very similar to your set up and weighs in at 9Lbs 12oz. Compared to my Citori O/U, it is only 1Lb 4oz heavier, but it "feels" much heavier than the Citori.
