I finally have to admit that my old bones can't take it like they used to. In the past when it was going to be extremely cold outside I would put firearms and ammo that I wanted to test in my jeep in the evening and test the next day. This time I chose to sleep in and stay inside. Those tests...

I just received a text from a former coworker who I ended up teaching (him and his grandson) how to reload. They texted a picture of the grandson with a nice 7 point whitetail that he harvested on opening morning. They used handloaded 300 Savage 180's they assembled and tested the week before...

Got a new to me pistol in 300 BO recently and dies are on the way! Have been digesting all the 300 BO reloading threads on here. Factory ammo was $3 a round for what I purchased (SIG) so reloading has got to be beter LOL. Here's a pix. My question is am I really going to have to neck turn all...

In the last couple months I have noticed a lot of shooting "friends" wanting me to sell them some of my reloads. A good bunch of them I have offered in the past to show how to reload but they never put in the effort. Told them what propellant to purchase and helped them pick out a bullet and...

Got a call from the local PD today. Somebody turned in 13 boxes of 12 GA light target reloads for disposal. All suposed to be #7 shot. Some are cardboard hulls as well. Guess I'll be breaking down some ammo soon.

Well its a new year and my plan is to spend my reloading time making my ammo to be more precise. There's no excuse to not make each round with as much quality as your skills allow. So what reloading thing are you going to do going forward?

There was a recent post on here about seating a proud primer and the ensuing arguments. This not to go there as the correct way stated in the manual is the safe way, always. However there are a lot of threads lately about various types of messed up rounds. It appears a good amount of new to the...

So recently a friend of mine brought over this pistol to look at. She said it was previously her son's. The idiot ended up in jail for drug related charges a while ago. He owed his mother some money so having to get rid of his firearms anyway he signed them over to her. She asked me if I wanted...

Found out that they are finally going to have a gun show in Bangor Maine this Sat and Sun. Was not able to attend for two years and last year it was canceled. Hope to see other local board members there and we get to buy some interesting stuff. Several local friends are going and it will be...

So I was at the local WM yesterday checking out the sad firearms collection. A guy that appeared in his early 20's arrives and states that he needs some 9MM. The clerk says that there is none on the shelf and haven't had any in quite some time. The dude goes off on him in quite a "Ken" manner...

I have many berdan primed brass I have saved back. I also have a hydraulic deprimer for it as I used to reload these when I could get the primers. They were corosive so I stopped when I ran out. These days you can get priming compound and along with a punch it looks as though this would be a...

Well it's about 6* here with a 25 MPH gusty wind. I am getting ready to test some of my loads that have been good on target in the cold. Left a couple of rifles and some ammo in the Jeep overnight. Wish me luck!

I have a 30 carbine Ruger Blackhawk. I am going to get a spare cylinder and ream it for a necked down 327 with a 30 caliber bullet and relieve for the rim. I was originally going to use 223 brass and make a mini Blackout round but wanted the rimmed brass. This should be straight forward I should...

There have been different threads that have touched on this but not specifically this topic. Also we all should already know that selling reloads without a license is illegal and giving reloads away is just asking for a lawsuit if something bad happens and this topic has been thrashed to death...

My new ingot mould. Dropped off by a friend today. Should work great for ingots to go into my Lee production pot.

Seems I am stuck being on call and unable to gather with the extended family at the farm for our anual shoot'n grill this year. Anyone here doing some "range work", maybe with others or family to celabrate our founding. Please share your joy with those of us stuck working or such. PS: Don't...

Saturday I placed Haz-Mat order like I usually do two or three times a year. The only SR primers available were 3K Rem 6 1/2 small rifle. Got 8 pounders of IMR 3031 and IMR 4064. I am good for .22 Hornet primers for a while but still need to watch for more SR primers. I wanted to get several...

My sister lost her mag for her Remington 740R in 30-06. We have tried several of the newer ones and nothing will work at all size wise. I am learning the hard way that there is a difference between old and new style. This is different than my 742 in 308 as the aftermarket and new mags all work...

Last evening a knock at the door. A good friend showed up with a second box of reloading odds and ends for me. His daughter is cleaning out a house she just purchased and he is bringing it all to me as he doesn't reload. A Lee 270 whack a mole reloading set, a handfull of Herters dies I still...

Reading about the 63 car pileup in Virginia today got me to thinking about if I was in one of these and was legally carrying/transporting a firearm or two how would I fare after the dust settles and I am out of the hospital. I do have pictures and serial numbers of everything I would be there...
