It's almost like gun laws are basically just hampering law abiding citizens. I mean, they FINALLY got the exact kind of criminal they want to stop...and he gets a whopping 2.5 years for illegally purchasing guns and illegally selling them to criminals? I know he helped get some of them back from the people he sold to, but still.

https://www.nj.com/news/2019/07/he-bought-10-guns-in-the-easton-area-because-it-was-easier-than-buying-them-legally-in-new-jersey.html So which laws have the Dems already passed or suggested that would have stopped this guy from just going to PA and buying guns for criminals who can't buy in NJ?

Used a reamer for my pocket primer holes. Basically ready to do a batch but I have all the hand primer shell holders EXCEPT the 223 one. Luckily that's cheap. I do know what I want for Christmas now, though. https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-6702203-Case-Xpress-7810220/dp/B004TABTWU/ref=sr_1_3?crid=Z8TX0ZXY61UQ&keywords=case+prep+tools+for+reloading&qid=1562287673&s=gateway&sprefix=case+prep%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-3

Here's my brass last night after I patted them all down. https://tinyurl.com/yxhspw2h That's basically what I had them on.

Yea, I'm measuring the brass after I put it through the full length sizing die. Using a digital caliper. This is some new vocabulary for me. Datum line?

So I'm noticing that most of my Federal brass is between 1.7400-1.7450". How big of a deal is it that it's not 1.750-1.760"?

Wouldn't that leave the primer pocket dirty?

Alright, deprimed 200-300 rounds of my AE .223 so far. I'll get the Wolf later tonight. Probably tumble them tomorrow night. Ordered some Hornandy 55gr FMJBT to see how that works out. My rifle fires 52gr Wolf decently around 1 MOA at 100 yards. And it loves the 62gr FMJBT American Eagle. I'll be interested to see how the 55gr compares to the 62gr.

Based on how I've stated I've voted otherwise in response to you saying that multiple times before and you still post it, I'll agree with that second statement...

Socialist? Hardly. At least in socialist countries your taxes pay for something you get back. What do we get in NJ for our high taxes? Corrupt politicians stealing money and awarding bloated contracts to friends and family? Tons of funding for schools in the Abbott districts that accomplished nothing but underfunding everyone else's school systems resulting in higher property taxes to make up for it? We are the only state who forces locals to pay for going to the beach, yet other states have no problem maintaining theirs without charging an arm and a leg. We have some of the highest sales tax rates in the country. We have tons of tiny towns resulting in way too many officials costing us tax money. This isn't socialism, this is just plain robbery. I love New Jersey with all my heart, but between the stupid taxes and nanny state laws, it just makes less and less sense to be here.

It's sets a precedent for future cases that they can't hide everything from us.

https://www.ammoland.com/2019/06/pro-gun-group-wins-lawsuit-against-new-jersey-state-police/#axzz5sEdUftJF Didn't see this anywhere and it popped up in my Google news feed. This transparency is a good step in fighting NJ's absurd stance on the 2A. It's been a long fight. Great job NJ2AS!

You don't have to have a definitive result for it to be a study and be presented as such. Sometimes "There is no one size fits all" answer and that's okay. We all knew this was a complicated issue. Sometimes it's bad parenting, sometimes it's just an entitled asshole who didn't get their way. Sometimes people just didn't report something. Sometimes there just wasn't help available. There's so many factors that it'd be more surprising if they had a definitive answer for what kind of person commits mass shootings.

Hard to use Bitcoin if we go back to the stone age. If you bought that day, it's increased 200% since then. Very nice profit.

Been using some Wolf Gold and American Eagle

Is there anything else I'm missing from my list?

When it comes to spending money, I rarely spend large amounts on wants, not needs. So I obsess over making sure I get exactly what I want. Trying to come up with an exact list of items I need to get started. So far, I've got written down: Tumbler Press Die Set Shell Holder Scale Calipers Manual Trimmer CHAMFER & DEBURRING TOOL Lube Not included: primer, powder, and bullets. Don't think I posted this anywhere else. Few weeks ago, shooting from the bench.

I'm not saying NJ would. I'm just wondering how people would feel if that was the use of the money. Jesus you're angry. Roids? Not loved enough as a child?

Hm, tax it more to stop people. I guess that's why no one smokes anymore, right? Reading the one senate bill on taxing ammo, that include primer, cases, bullets, powder... Speaking with the wife, she brought up the point, "Where does that tax money go to?" And reading the bills, it's not stated. What if we got it to be used to hire more personnel for the state to do background checks, speeding up FID checks, handgun permit processing, NICS checks? Would people here be okay with that swap paying a little bit extra for ammo for all that to be sped up? Because let's face it, letting people get guns is super low on the list of priorities for the state so it's not like they will take funding from elsewhere to speed up gun purchasing processes.

I'm sure they'll figure a way out to do it. You don't know who I vote for. Should I say your team is pedophiles like Roy Moore and you still vote for guys like him every time you mention something conservative? No, that'd be ridiculous.

My first car was a Chevy Cavalier 5 years old. 35k miles on it. Paid $4k in cash for it. Glad I didn't waste money on a brand new car. Everyone gets scratches and dings in their first car. And they will be in parking lots at school with lots of dumb drivers. I'd never advise getting a nice car for a 17 year old. But if the kid's paying for it, that's on them.

So four laws that don't target crime and two laws that are money grabs that don't target crime. Yippee...

Got the ABC's of Reloading by the way. Came today in the mail. Already read a good portion of it. Quite interesting stuff. I actually enjoyed the first chapter on safety. Those kinds of things that he talked about are things that can easily happen to anyone regardless of experience level. Shit happens. I've learned from other hobbies that quality makes a long-term difference. And I think a lot of what I do in my lab gives me good experience on the safety aspect, QC aspect, and precision work. It's totally the kind of thing I could nerd out doing. And I already separate my brass. My Wolf brass stays in Wolf boxed and AE rounds in AE boxes. Anyone have the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic? Currently, Hornady is offering 500 free bullets with purchase of one of their presses or kits. $294 for the kit (Doesn't include dies, calipers, tumbler).

Wait a second. So you're telling me I'll have even better reasons to justify getting better equipment?
