    Do you still buy factory ammo?

    Only factory ammo I have bought in a long time is .22lr and I bought a box or two of 7.62x54r while I was waiting on reloading components to come in. Haven't bought any other factory ammo in a year or two.

    Size and Prime or Size then Prime

    I prime all of mine by hand. I removed the priming tool off of my press and threw it in a parts box.

    Favorite Pistol powder

    my favorite so far is Bullseye. I have loaded 9mm, .45ACP, .380, .32S&W Long, and some others with it. Great all around powder.

    How to Get a Safe Into the House

    A nice dolly and three people is how I got mine into the house. When my dad's massive gun safe was delivered they had a dolly that climbed stairs on its own. That made it really easy to get into the house.

    CFE at 26.0 grns and 2.20" is what I have been loading for my AR. Happy with it so far.

    What is the best reloading manual nowadays?

    Lyman #49, but I am looking to pick up a couple more as I venture into the world of some more unique rounds that Lyman doesn't have a ton of data on.

    Powder charging multiple cases: thoughts?

    with my rifle loads I charge them all at one time. There is no risk of me double charging as it would overflow. I then inspect each with a flashlight before moving on. With my pistol rounds I prep all the cases and prime, then I do charge and seat for each bullet individually.

    7.62x54r

    Been doing a lot of looking for data before I buy bullets. Hodgdon's data is all listed for .308 bullets as well.....

    7.62x54r

    Just dug through my stash of reloading stuff. I have a bunch of .308 bullets - 150grn SP, 170grn Flat Point, 110grn SP. Just slugged my barrel and it looks like .311. Is it worth me loading up some rounds with these bullets? My Lyman manual has data for .312 and .311 bullets, but my lee...

    7.62x54r

    Just picked up a mosin myself and I am starting to get my stuff together to start reloading as well. Definitely worth slugging your barrel to see what you can use. If you are lucky and have a really tight barrel, you may be able to get away with .308 bullets as there are many more available...

    How Do Folks Get Their Brass?

    I save all the brass from the ammo I shoot. I am also the only one in my family that reloads, so I get brass from them as they shoot. I also get some from a local police range. Multiple agencies use the range, and one of them saves the brass from their agency for me. That provides me...
