Reloading in Anime and Movies

[Kamicosmos]

I was watching an episode of the new Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex and there was a quick scene of a sniper loading what appeared to be a .308 type cartridge. He dumped a powder charge out of a thrower, and then seated the bullet. The thrower and single stage press were green, but I didn't see a brand name. He also got the bullet out of a box that had a red logo that said Dillion on it, but it didn't look like their logo.
(I think there is lots of reloading in the Gunsmith Cats mangas, but I'll have to verify that.)

I also remember a reloading scene in a Steven Stegal movie, I think.

One of the CSI shows, or maybe it was NCIS, showed the ballistics lab and they were doing some loading, but I don't remember the equipment used.

Any other movies, TV shows, or anime showing reloading?

Tom Selleck did some reloading for his Sharps in "Quigley Down Under."

Gunsmith Cats

Yes, there is at least some reloading in there...my former roommate had the collection, and I started reading it. I remember mention in the first book of some custom reloads for a customer...for a .44mag Super Redhawk I believe. They were hot loaded lead, which caused problems for him not too long later....but that's the only reloading I got to in that series.

Tremors, the Movie. The vibrations from Burt's tumbler attract the Graboid to his basement.

Then, in Tremors, the Series, there's an episode where Burt has to show some folks how to use an impact puller to unload some ammo and use the powder for other purposes...

Only ones I recall - -

- - Other than the Quigley movie thing:

TV series called "Police Story," pretty good story lines, in, I think, the late 1960, early '70s - - Uniformed cops in either LAPD or a fictional outfit patterened thereupon. One of 'em got into hot water over using super-hot handloads in what was otherwise a good shooting of a robber during a crime in progress. Didn't show the loading in progress, just talked about it.

Another cop drammer had a convuluted story line wherein a bad guy was allowed to escape for plot purposes. They planted a gun for him to take, which was loaded with ammo loaded with dead primers and no powder.

In early '70, there was a real decent series called "Cade's County," starring Glenn Ford as modern-day sheriff of a composite county somewhere in the southwest. One episode had an outlaw who fancied himself a reincarnation of Will Antrim (aka William Bonney, aka Billy the Kid. He even went to the extent of using a Colt's "Thunderer" .41 DA. Ammo was scarce and the BG was depicted handloading with some kind of single stage press. Apparently sloppy practices or the revolver had a tired mainspring. An attempted shooting failed due to a misfire. Story line blamed it on the handloads.

In movie "Nevada Smith," Brian Keith is teaching a young Steve McQueen about shooting - - Has him gather up the empties for later reloading, with a lecture about economy.

Interesting topic, Kamicosmos.

One of the Death Wish movies had Charlie reloading on a coffee table...

I am not sure of the name of the movie, but I think it was Blade. The one with Wesley Snipes as a half vampire, and Chris Christoferson. They were loading their special vampire ammo on what looked like a Dillon.

In an episode of Smallville, the villian of the day not only had loaded, but made his own bullets from kryptonite.

yes, there was reloading in steven segal's 'MARKED FOR DEATH.' they were using a RCBS progressive. they put something in the hollowpoints so the bullets would kill you "even deader", i guess.

in a 'BONANZA' episode, hoss was reloading and his brother adam was kidding him for being a cheapskate and not buying his ammo.

Hello all....


The 'Patriot' has scenes of bullets being cast from 'toy soldier' figures melted down by the campfire.

Thanks Dave...

Burt's my hero.
