77 carry Rugar LCR.

Congrats on deciding to get back into reloading. It is a great hobby. I use Lee equipment. I use a Lee classic torrent press, Auto Pro Disk Powder Measure, and Lee carbide dies. I prefer the 4 die sets. I use Win231 powder for all my hand loads. (9mm, 38spcl., 40S&W, and 45acp. I also...

I visited my local reloading supply store Friday and commented to the owner, "It looks like a reloading supply store should look like". There were a few things he didn't have but all in all, he had a good supply of most items. I even picked up a pound of Win 231. Haven't seen that in quiet a...

I reload on a Lee single stage. When I first started, I thought I would eventually progress to a Lee Turrent Press. I'm now 76 yrs. old and still using that same Lee single stage press. I too can reload more ammo than I can shoot, so I guess I'll stay with the single stage. I reload 9mm, 38...

I have been reloading for five or so years. I ran across an ad from Phoenix State University offering an online course to receive a Reloading Certificate. Has anyone on THR taken this course? I have no plans to sell any reloading shells. Just wanted to see if anyone has received the...

When I was 16 I recieved a Western Fields Model 30 bolt action 12ga shotgun. It was an inexpensive (cheap) gun marketed by Montgomery Wards. The bolt action was never dependable. It had a 2 round magazine and if both rounds were in the magazine it would not feed into the chamber. One round...

If you live in the southwest, mesquite wood makes a good cane. Excellent to burn in the BBQ grill also.

Question about a Redding Model #1 Thanks RC. I suspected that this was a discontinued model. I only gave $9.50 for the scale. Freight cost more than the scale. The friend that I purchased this for is just getting into reloading. He is on a pretty tight budget but I think it will be fine to...

I purchased a Redding Model #1 scale on Ebay for a friend. The scale is ok. Looks new. It came in the original box but no manual. This is a very simple beam scale. I put it together and the scale zeros ok. Hanging below the pivot points is a paddle shaped device that hangs down into a...

Google is "anti gun" I just found out on another thread that google has adopted a new policy. They won't allow any search that is gun related. I guess this explains why I could not fine any businesses that supply reloading components. I will be busy changing my search engine from google and...

Where is the best place to buy shot online? I did a google search and only turned up one business that sells shot. I usually load 7.5's and 8's but occasionally load no. 4's for pheasant. Thanks for your help.
