    Ammo is back!

    I visited my local reloading supply store Friday and commented to the owner, "It looks like a reloading supply store should look like". There were a few things he didn't have but all in all, he had a good supply of most items. I even picked up a pound of Win 231. Haven't seen that in quiet a...

    Some people should not use a progressive press

    I reload on a Lee single stage. When I first started, I thought I would eventually progress to a Lee Turrent Press. I'm now 76 yrs. old and still using that same Lee single stage press. I too can reload more ammo than I can shoot, so I guess I'll stay with the single stage. I reload 9mm, 38...

    I have this old shotgun

    When I was 16 I recieved a Western Fields Model 30 bolt action 12ga shotgun. It was an inexpensive (cheap) gun marketed by Montgomery Wards. The bolt action was never dependable. It had a 2 round magazine and if both rounds were in the magazine it would not feed into the chamber. One round...

    Question about a Redding Model #1 Beam Scale

    Question about a Redding Model #1 Thanks RC. I suspected that this was a discontinued model. I only gave $9.50 for the scale. Freight cost more than the scale. The friend that I purchased this for is just getting into reloading. He is on a pretty tight budget but I think it will be fine to...

    Question about a Redding Model #1 Beam Scale

    I purchased a Redding Model #1 scale on Ebay for a friend. The scale is ok. Looks new. It came in the original box but no manual. This is a very simple beam scale. I put it together and the scale zeros ok. Hanging below the pivot points is a paddle shaped device that hangs down into a...

    Shotshell shot

    Google is "anti gun" I just found out on another thread that google has adopted a new policy. They won't allow any search that is gun related. I guess this explains why I could not fine any businesses that supply reloading components. I will be busy changing my search engine from google and...

    Buying a Hi Point

    I have both the Hi-Point C9 and the .45ACP HP. Both are great shooters. I would recommend the C9 in your case. It is lighter and if you were ever so inclined to carry concealed, it would fit the bill. Hi Point's life time warranty and their superb customer service is a good plus also.
