So I moved a month after having a total knee replacement so there was a lot of things I couldn't do at the time, still can't for that matter, so my Mom and brother packed up everything for me. Now that I am able to start loading again I was getting everything unpacked and setup on my temporary...

I pulled a bullet from a 7.62x54R surplus round. I weighed the powder and I am logging each rounds powder of the ones I pull to check to see if the powder levels are the same. I wanted to replace a few of the steel cored FMJ bullets with the soft point boat-tails I have, and I was wondering if...

Sorry I am removing this article from this thread and my blog due to personal reasons. Please keep up your discussions on the pros and cons of gun control.

I was sorting through my brass and ran across an old all in the mix that ended up being a 38 Super. It got me looking at the data for that round and since it uses the same bullet as the 9mm I started comparing the two and got very confused about something I wish someone would explain to me. You...

I have seen and heard of some coating the inside of the powder hopper on the measures to make it flow better and have more consistent drops. What are you guys and gals coating the inside of your hoppers with if anything, how much does it cost, and where do you get it? Thanks.

After sending back three tumblers that were DOA I still do not have a tumbler. I have been cleaning my cases with a mix of dawn, lestoil, and lemon juice but I do not like the way they are coming out so I am just going to build me a tumbler of some sort. Here is what I have here at the house...

I don't cast yet so I need so input from you guys and gals. I have right at 250 piece of 9mm brass to load up for my Dad. 100 of these will be Jacketed hollow points. The rest will be "target loads". He wants me to load cast boolits for these loads for two reasons, first cheaper to make and two...

Any have any information on what is going on with going ballistics bullets? I have been seeing the "Sorry. Going Ballistic Bullets is currently undergoing maintenance." message for weeks now.

CCI makes a shotshell for the 40 made out of not reloadable aluminium cases, and they are as hard to find as finding gold in your back yard. Looking at the specs of the 6.8 Remington SPC and the 40 the heads or very close to the same. So close in fact that some companies use the same shell...

Being still new to reloading I am still learning new things. I just got in a box of Nosler 150 grain JHP bullets to work up a load for my Ruger 944 40 S&W. According to Nosler the bullets are using the same load data as the Hornady 155 grain XTP bullets for Longshot powder. I bought a Lee Auto...

For the long term, which is the most cost effective for cleaning up your brass a rotary or a vibrating type tumbler? I am leaning towards the rotary type because you don't have to replace the media as much. Also list the pros and cons of each.

I am fixing to place an order for some bullets to load up and I am trying to save some cash in the process. Buying premium HP bullets for hunting cost an arm and a leg when I can find them. Then there are plated bullets that are cheaper but I'm not sure about the legality of using them for...

Years ago our house in Missouri was broken into and most of our guns were stolen. The only ones they didn't get were the once that were not in the gun cabinet. The police were called and took a report and wrote down the serial numbers of the stolen guns. They did not try to get any prints off...

My brother finally got everything I need to load up some 7MM Remington Magnum rounds for him at least till the time comes when I have to trim the brass. So I was laying here messing around with one of the new cases that he bought as well as some of the once fired cases and got curious on how...

While looking for the most economical way to tumble my brass, I ran across an post on another forum where a guy used a jug and a ice cream maker electric motor to make a tumbler. It got me thinking, you can buy the whole ice cream maker at walmart for less than $26 so why couldn't you just use...

I do not have a C&R licence yet but I will probably get one sooner or later. On to the point. I have had family fight in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam and I have been around weapons all my life. I have, in the last few years, started to collect military weapons used in WWII. I am starting with...

With carry permits going into the digital age and applications being done online and fingerprinting being taken digitally now how long is it taking to get your permit approved? For me here in Tennessee, I applied online on January 23rd, I took my class on February 1st and finally got around...

Seems to me that my Brother basically uses two bullet weights for everything. 150 grain for his rifles, 270, 30-06, 300 Weatherby Mag, and 7mm Remington Mag. For his pistols he uses 180 grain for the 44 Remington Mag and 185 grain for the 45 acp. He would use a 180 grain for that if he could...

Anyone suggest a good one that does not cost an arm and a leg that will fit up to say a 48 inch waist line and down to at least a 34 inch waist. Needs pockets for cell, keys, pens, and such. Thanks

Last week I was priming some cases a dropped one that bounced off the bench. I looked high and low for the thing no luck, swept the whole area with a broom still no luck. After about a hour of looking for it with no luck I was beginning to think that I dreamed that I had the thing in my hand to...
