    why does Hornady not sell primers

    Hornady sells reloading equipment, brass and bullets, they make ammo, so why don't they sell primers? Did Hornady sell primers in the past? Snowman357

    glock bulge now Shield bulge?

    I was on starlines website looking at 9mm brass and they had a warning not to use +P loads because of the unsupported chamber. I reload a lot of 9mm in four different pistols one is a shield and one is a glock, never had any problems. I use a mild load nothing near +P loadings. Just thought...

    Should I start reloading shotgun shells

    I reload everything I shoot except 7.62x39. I will probably only load skeet shells and buckshot with a few slugs. I do not shoot shotguns very much, hunting with a rifle but would probably shoot more shotgun if shells become cheaper. I price 00 buck reloads not buying shells and the cost was...

    Switching to small rifle primers

    I'm to invested in most of my calibers with brass to change from large to small primers. I changed some of my powders because of what was more quickly available during shortages. Some calibers that are available in both sizes I'm interested in are 243, 260 and 308 the 308 will be in a bolt...

    New primer brands?

    OK with all the new primer brands Aguila, fiocchi and Servicios & Aventuras. Who has actually used them and with what results. I have used mostly CCI never had a bad primer yet. I have shot factory fiocchi and aquila they make good ammo, would think the primers are ok. Any misfires, harder...

    a better way to clean cases

    I still clean my cases the same as when I first started reloading. I use a vibratory cleaner with walnut media with a little nu finish added every now and then. I also use old dryer sheets to collect dust. I also clean before resizing or removing the primer. My question is what would work...

    A substitute for H 4831

    I use H 4831 in my 280 and 260, the 280 is for hunting , 260 is target shooting with hopes of shooting 500 yards soon. I have used bullets from 123 to 140 in the 260 have not settled on a bullet yet. H4831 is hard to find so I am inclined to change to something else that may be easier to find...

    Could I be missing out on somethings

    Years and years ago I was reluctant to use polymer pistols (love them now) , with reloading I find I'm not using any of the newer enduron powders or other cfe powders. I didn't bother with the powder coated bullets, but I do like the HY tek coated bullets, never tried plated bullets. I...

    Cost per shot?

    44 or 36 cliber what is you best price per shot using a wad and a reasonable amount of powder and not casting your own bullet. I came up with 26 cent in 36 caliber does that sound normal, I though this would be cheaper than a 9mm (assuming normal prices).

    Anybody reload 7.62x39 for ak or sks

    The last caliber I use I dont reloaded for since its an ak rifle steel case ammo was fine. Last time I did the math it would cost around .33 cent/round for me to reload. I would assume my reload would be more accurate than wolf steel case stuff. Shooting an ak with iron sights figured it was...

    Losing brass what can I do

    Losing brass at my private range shooting under a 12x12 shed with a mulch bed with grass and leaves on the right hand side, thought of hanging a tarp or a couple of shower curtains for the brass to hit. I'm sure that would work but then I started thinking of something the brass could hit and...

    Looking to expand my hobby, I have never cast bullets, I have loaded shot shells as a kid on my brothers lee load all. Thought of casting bullets, just pistol bullets but buying clean lead cost more than most lead bullets. Loading shot shells (I dont shoot shotgun much) looks like it would be...
