Why would this gun shop even appear in the news piece? Knowing full well they are going to twist the story to fit their agenda.
 
I better not let "The Media" know that I supervised my ELEVEN YEAR OLD nephew as he reloaded an Arsenal of FIFTY DEADLY SHOTGUN SHELLS! Tonight.....


I know, I know, I'm a horrible uncle and should hang my head in shame for both endangering and corrupting a youth, right? ;)


Too bad that it's HIS press and the reloading tonight was HIS idea..... He needed more shells for trapshooting tomorrow

....every shell came out perfect, BTW, 28 gauge shells, his MEC 600 Jr makes them look just as nice as factory reloads, solid crimp, flush primer, looks like they just rolled off the line at the Winchester factory
 
Experts say without the right ingredients, or if it's done incorrectly, reloaded ammunition can be dangerous.

Improperly loading a shell can cause a gun to explode.

I wonder how many times they preach this warning when a large ammo manufacturer screws up and has a recall?

This is about one of the worst hit pieces so full of utter nonsense I've ever seen. And compared to the storm we've been under from the media that's saying something.
 
I can't even watch TV news anymore, only ratings & liberal agenda matter to them. The people that believe ABC, CBS, NBC probably shouldn't reload anyway
 
Expect more stories as the anti's pick up on this and take it further with headlines like:

"Storage of highly volatile and dangerous chemicals in residential areas"; "Easy access to dangerous components by children"; "Bomb making components in the house next door!"
 
Great. There goes the neighborhood.

Pretty soon we (reloaders) will all be painted as "diabolical master craftsmen of the components of mass murder" or some such nonsense.
 
"Storage of highly volatile and dangerous chemicals in residential areas"; "Easy access to dangerous components by children"; "Bomb making components in the house next door!"

Funny to think that people would freak out about the idea of having a skilled and diligent craftsman very carefully and safely building ammunition on the block but don't think twice about half-drunk suburbanites tapping propane bottles on every deck and patio on the block.
 
How long until the media bangs loudly on the drums for moving percussion cap antiques and replicas to full-fledged firearm status?

good comparison, 20lbs propane vs 33gr powder. Which can do more harm to neighbor's house
 
Been reloading since about 1970---the only cartridge that ever ever blewup in my gun was a factory round from Manila--it blew the bolt out of the rifle but I replaced the bolt & it has been fine ever since
 
I've always wondered about that "freedom of the press" thing.
 
the article said:
The shortage started shortly after congress began discussing gun control

That's not how I remember it...As I recall the panic started immediately after Obama legitimized the excited flappings of Feinstein et. al., and fully conflagrated at his ridiculous "Executive Order" photoshoot (which was both repugnant self-agrandizement and accomplished nothing for anyone). Funny how it's "congress" when it's the same three loony pols as always...

Barn is correct, on the timing of the panic. It started when Obama gave the first speech after Newtown. Before then I could buy primers, powder, ammo, etc. (I was at gun shops daily after Newtown just to keep an eye on it... picking up some things I was short on "just in case...")
 
TV-2 is locally known for poor reporting. It is true that almost all of the privately owned gun shop/shooting ranges in S.W. Florida will not allow reloaded ammo, but those that don't are pretty empty right now. Most of them pretty much expected you to buy their ammo at inflated prices. Some where blatantly sticking their price tag over the Wal Mart sticker. A few of them are now selling their own brand of "remanufactured" ammo at inflated prices rather than nothing. Strange that the Lee County Sheriff's range has enough of their expensive "lead-free" ammo to allow civilian shooters to buy (but not take with them) while shooting the few hours they are actually open to the public.
 
NOW......they tell us! :rolleyes:

IF I'd only known...............

Heck, I've been reloading since the early '70s.

In fact..I just finished reloading some.

I NEVER would have done this...had I known how 'dangerous' it was.

Sarcasm off: Sigh.......

No no, you read that wrong. They get freedom of the press, not you. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but once we're gone, they will get a noose around their necks, too. But they don't realize that.

Somehow *they* think the oligarchy will still protect them once they are no longer needed.
 
I've been reloading (fired brass) and handloading (all new components) for 24 years, never had a problem.
