    California Gun Laws are so evil, why?.......

    Exactly. Note what a great job all these laws are doing keeping guns out of the hands of the street gangstahs. Tom

    Question about the economics of reloading

    Reloading is very relaxing for me. Gotta factor in all the money it saves on Prozac and counseling. ;-) Tom

    Looking for advice on M1 reloading components

    Almost forgot. Have been unable to get mil spec primers so I use Wolff magnums loaded 15% below max. Cycle fine, accurate and no pressure signs. Tom

    Looking for advice on M1 reloading components

    I have had very good luck with Varget. Have found several internet sources for pulled and polished military 150 gr bullets. They work just fine and are cheap. Tom

    Loading for the Garand

    I use mostly swaged GI brass. Also use pulled 158 gr GI bullets that have been re rounded. Varget works fine for me as do Wolf large rifle primers. Be sure to check case length about every other turn through the die. Takes a bit of practice and attention to detail but reloading for the...

    liability for reloads in self defense ? TX

    I carry a small 45 auto. GI ball is factory and is cheap. Fine for me. I know there is facier stuff but all those thousands of dead Germans, Japanese, Koreans and VC can't be worng. Tom

    Slam Firing

    I had a problem with my Garand when I went to a too strong recoil spring. Just got double taps. Problem went away when I went back to a GI spec spring. Not always a primer problem though sure can be. Tom

    New to 45ACP

    Have had excellent luck with Bullseye when I could get it and now Titegroup. Personally had bad luck with high power spring, tore the crap out of my buffer. I use about 2/3 max for target work. Friendswood Bullet Co on the net had a very nice lead RN flat point 200 gr at a good price...

    Double Fires and Flying Brass - Help!

    Back when the old rickety 1911s were used to train GIs, runaways happened with it emptying the whole clip on one squeeze. Tom

    Cheapest 30 cal bullets?

    Try River View military pulls at http://www.rvow.com/Default.htm They inspect and size after the pull to I have never had a feeding or accuracy problems in a Garand. I assume they would work OK on deer. Worked just fine on Germans, Japanese and Koreans. $55.00 per thousand, or 5.5...

    A "first" for me -- Wolf primers

    They work fine for me. Just remember they are a trifle oversized so will take a bit of extra pressure to fully seat. Tom

    Are Hard Cast Bullets Best

    Note to bullet casters. Could you guys sell little trial packs of 50 so we could try them out? Tom

    Ram Prime

    I think the Lee hand prime gives a better feel and more uniform seating than the on press ram. Extra step is a PITA though. Tom

    Start-up cost to reload 6.8

    Right around $200 for start up for 45 ACP and this included cast bullets, 1000 primers and powder. I had some cases already. Got a Lee anniversary set and a little misc. equipment off EBay. My range sells 45 white box ammo for $18.00 per fifty and handloads cost me about $8, ten dollar...

    Double Fires and Flying Brass - Help!

    Hammer is new and has been tested with sear. Must be the spring. Wolff said 2.5# upgrade but it was very tough to insert. Suspect a lot more tension than that. But gun hums right along with a milspec spring. Have not been able to get 4895 yet and Varget works fine with very good...
