Pine Baron

RIA 1911 in 9mm.

Bad ammo, but I could be wrong.

Heck, I pass L & H all the time. I didn't know they had firearms. I wonder if they have reloading supplies? Kislin's was right around the corner from me. Man I miss that place. Got some good deals when they had their "retirement" sale.

Thanks Griz, I'm going to go for it. I'll let you know. Now I've got to come up with the funds.

Thanks guys, Trailboss is the definitive cowboy powder. I was planning starting less than 5gns. Unique under .454 RB (IIRC 142gns.) until I can find some TB. My question is .45ACP bullet dia. is .452. Will .454 RB cause any chambering problems? Keep in mind this is a revolver, so cycling and magazine feed is not a consideration, but headspacing on the case NOT the rim is. Anybody tried this? Yes, steel frame. I would keep the pressure below 850fps.

I posted this on 1858remington, so I apologize if any of my friends there are seeing this again here. Here's the problem: I lost my outdoor shooting spot to those cursed land developers. Until I find an outdoor range that doesn't require an arm and a leg to join or isn't closed all the time, my only option is my local indoor range (where everybody knows my name) BP NOT allowed. Considerations: Weapon of choice, 8" 1858 Remmy Lyman (Uberti) mfg. mid 70's, shoots .454 RB over 30 gns. Pyrodex, #11 caps. Limited and I mean LIMITED funds. Solution: Howel R&D .45 ACP conversion cylinder Why? Less expensive, less intrusive (no cutting or loading gate installation) .45 ACP, because I have the reloading dies already and a ton of brass I plan on reloading .454 RB over Unique or Red Dot until I can afford a proper mold, etc. What do you all think? Be brutal I can take it.

Went to Shooters in LEH last night. I wanted my daughter to go shooting for her birthday present (from the best dad in the world). Took my son, my daughter, and surprise guest, my 12 yr old grandson. Needless to say, we had a GREAT time. The staff, instructor and RSO were fantastic. Yes, welcome to the DARK side.

Those beer can curls sound like "just the ticket". I knew I would like this forum, so much useful information.

Welcome to round up!

Lambo, Thanks for your support. I probably will give it another go. No sense in letting one jerk spoil it. By the way I'm 65 and the attitude was "Bennie" vs "Piney". My "old school" firearms vs his "modern" wonder weapons. I love ALL things that go boom and am like a kid in a candy store, checking out everyone's toys, and more than willing to share the joy. I am the original "Gun Nut" that you've heard about.

On days like that, I'll move the target in, change to one hand, change to OPPOSITE hand, anything to break the bad karma. Don't know if it works, but it sure keeps it fun.

Thanks to all for the welcome. Lambo, I don't have a problem with the ROs or the range. My last time there I had some arrogant tacti-cool jerk give me some grief about my weapons, my "look" and my friends. I won't waste my time or effort dealing with that. I probably will give it another go. It is the closest most affordable outdoor range that I can find, so far. As far as SJSC. It's kind of a hike for my limited time and I really would like to be able to check it out before making a commitment.

Okay, thanks all, let search me South Jersey Shooting Club. Maybe I'll see you there. I'm the masked man.

Hi Schrodinger, (the cat's alive!) Been to Dix, some young mil wannabe type tried to give me a hard time, don't have time for that BS. I guess I could give it another shot (pun intended) but they're limited opening is a hassle. Tattoo, What/ where is SJSC?

I found this site through random web surfing, specifically looking for local ranges. I belong to a couple of other forums and really wanted to be involved with some of my fellow "pineys" Didn't take long to jump in. this looks like a GREAT site.

Live in Toms River, Shoot where ever I can. Currently shooting at GSSC, Shore Shot and Shooters. All good places as far as I'm concerned. I'm looking for an outdoor range that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and doesn't require goosestepping to the firing line. I am a reloader, 9MM, 38/357, and a .44 1858 Remington Cap & Ball. Really would like to find a place to shoot Black Powder. Looking forward to the discussions here.
