Somehow related and posting additional info (if there's an exisiting, pls move or delete) I acquired from a friend. According to him, there's a National Ban being proposed and mostly CT is set to get hammered locally. Proposals in CT include ban on high cap mags (like the above post) and worse, 50% ...

Quick update... The press is already mounted on the work bench I built and tested the depriming feature using unclean brass... 1st batch of 100+ were deprimed just fine but the second batch (WWB) I'm getting brass getting stucked in the die, I guess it's too dirty... So lesson learned to wait for th...

Where are you shooting now? I actually "commute" 40 miles or so to WLOPA (http://www.wlopa.com) because the closer places are either indoors and pretty much pistol only, or just plain suck. There are 4-5 other forum members that belong there as well. A well-rounded club, with pistol, rifl...

Went to North Atlantic this morning and got all the powders, primers and other stuff I picked up for reloading and was surprised that the prices are very reasonable and some are cheap... Didn't bother to go to the other GS anymore as everything I need is already there... And the best part, after int...

Welcome to the world of Reloading, its alot of fun, and will give you more to shoot, notice i didnt say anything about saving money, because you will put it back into supplys. whats nice is that you can tailor loads to your shooting needs. Read the load books and make sure you have a good scale, an...

Thanks for the welcome and info! I'll definitely check them out... @Mopar - Cool that you're from Stratford too, maybe we can meet and go to the range sometime :) I'm fairly new (just got my license this year) to this hobby and don't have any shooting club of some sort but would love to join on one ...

Gotta agree, love the 9mm Shield I puchased! Got lucky when I was at BSR (3 weeks+ ago) and stopped by after at Park City Tactical and there it was (only one they got!)... Paid more than MSRP though but worth the investment, I just think of it as a birthday gift for myself :D And the holster I use i...
