    How long did it take before your reloads were as reliable as factory ammo?

    You should have plenty of time then. Just don't wait until the last minute to get the components together. Stuff that's "always" available goes missing just when you need it.

    How long did it take before your reloads were as reliable as factory ammo?

    I agree with the other responses - reliability should not be a problem. My question would be about how fast you have to / will want to produce the reloads. You could make up all 5000 ahead of time, or you could figure on loading the amount for the first course then reloading them for the second...

    Can anyone identify this 22?

    All of my uncles, for that matter all of the family of that generation, are now shooting at the big shooting range in the sky:-). I'll check with some cousins just out of curiosity, though. Thanks.

    Can anyone identify this 22?

    Thank you! That's consistent with others of the "family firearms". I have the Remington model 12 manufactured in 1928 (restoring it is a current project). Don't know what happened to this one - maybe one of my uncles took it.

    My mother, about 1938. Any ideas what model she's shooting?

    casting - got a source of lead, need advice!

    I would think the problem with range lead would be that you don't know what the composition is. I think you'd be better off with a source where you knew what was in it, and maybe didn't have to pay shipping.

    Do I have to trickle My Powder Exactly to the nth Degree or not?

    The first time I went to a Benchrest match I assumed everyone would be weighing each charge. Such was not the case - they just got their powder measure set and went with that. Of course we are talking very accurate powder measures here - some of them cost up to $300 or so. But everyone...

    .38 Cal bullets

    LotI - Those are massively ugly bullets from Midway's picture. They look like someone's first casting effort. Tell use the bullets you got were better than that!

    Wood epoxy

    If you can clamp the break firmly and the surfaces are clean - not soiled or oily - use Titebond glue.

    need a load for a 243

    Here's how I'd go about working up a load for a new rifle. I'd start with trying to get a powder that fills the case as much as possible. One rule of thumb to do this is to find the capacity of the case by weighting the fired case, then filling it with water to the bottom of where your bullet...

    45 ACP with Win NT headstamp

    I was loading some 45 ACP earlier and I ran onto some cases I picked up at the range obviously from someone else - The headstamp is WIN NT 45 AUTO, but the primer pocket is definitly not for a large pistol primer. Anyone know what these are? Anyone know if there is a way in the search...

    Author Lacks Knowledge

    With respect to the possibility that the author intended that an external safety had been added to the Glock - Making special knowledge of that sort of possibility requisite for your writing is extremely amateurish. Much more likely the author was simply ignorant. It's possible, of course, that...

    Remington 12A cartridge retainer

    Can any provide a picture of how the cartridge retainer is assembled in the 12A? This is a pre 620,000 whatever serial number rifle. It came to me missing the retainer. I purchased one from Wisner's, the part looks like I remember it (this is an old family gun) but for the life of me I cannot...

    How much did your handloads improve your grouping?

    Back in the day - when my Remington 700 ADL in 243 Winchester was new and I wasn't growing cataracts on both eyes - I could get just over 1" groups with factory ammo, but reloading I could get that down to just under 34".

    I got my reloading kit in today!!!!!!!!

    I checked the link Kellyj00 provided - those are good prices. However for hazmat items, I can get them locally for e.g. $2.00 per 1000 primers more. But if I could put together a bulk order here in Phoenix...then we'd be talking substantial savings.

    brass cleaning

    One thing I've done (rifle cases more than pistol) is to take a bolt slightly larger than the neck of the case, cut the head off, put it in a drill press and with the press running file it down so that you get a press fit of the inside of the neck to your new mandrel. Work on it until you can...
