    Remora

    I have been carrying a Remora for several months and like them a lot. I use it mainly for throwing on a rig if I am running an errand and won't be out long. I have found them to stay put even after hours of carry, though. However, I do find they tend to irritate if you are wearing them...

    sponge-worthy ammo

    Re-loading supplies are in pretty short supply as well right now. I can't find small pistol primers to save my life.

    sponge-worthy ammo

    This shortage on ammo made me think of the Seinfeld episode where they stopped making Elaine's favorite contraceptive sponge and she has to carefully consider whether her dates are truly "sponge-worthy." Anybody changing their shooting habits now that there is some uncertainty as to how soon...

    I thought I had seen it all, Until Today's Gun show

    LGS was selling Tula primers for $60 per 1000. Large pistol primers aren't hard to come by but small pistol are non-existent. Most stores have limited ammo to 1 box per customer. Even powder is becoming hard to come by though I did find a couple of pounds of Bullseye at a new store here in...

The Lee Collet Die information states the Max. overall length as 2.800 inches, but when you look at the _Minimum_ OAL, included with their die instructions, for their 162 gr. jacketed bullet it says 2.875 inches. I have also noticed that the data hogdon publishes on...

    How tight when neck sizing

    I am fairly new to reloading. I have done some .38 special and used the crimp to judge how tightly the bullet was held. I am just starting to reload some 7mm-08 using the 162 gr. A-max which doesn't have a cannelure. I have watched a couple of videos on youtube by ammosmith and I think I am...

    Buying new brass vs ammo.

    I have noticed some new brass goes for around $20 for 100 unprimed brass. I can get 100 rounds of Federal 9mm for around $24. Is there a benefit to buying new brass over ammo? It would cost more than $4 to load up the new brass with primers, powder and bullets so why not buy the ammo and just...
