  1. The Ammo & Reloading Forum
    I'm quite interested in learning the art of reloading. My club and I burn through a lot of brass, and based on everything that I've read it sounds interesting and makes sense financially. There's plenty of online resources, but I'm partial to actually learning from someone. Anyone know of any...
  2. The Ammo & Reloading Forum
    I wanna know if it's worth pursuing the procurement of a reloading setup to try to work up hotter loads for my ARx39 using 308 pills and eventually reloading 556 plinkers and whatever else I decide to chambered the next build in, probably a 18" grendel ironically. I'm leaning toward yes because...

    What would you consider to be the best .308 ammo that you have tested that could perform well in Anti-Personnel situations? I'm not looking for the most accurate round in the world, as I won't be shooting father than 50 yards. I would prefer something that is designed to expand or otherwise...

    The M1 Garand is a joy to shoot. I've reloaded 200-400 rounds with different loads and different bullets for best effect. I've had no problems at all shooting my reloaded cartridges in the M1 Garand. I recently bought a Ruger American rifle in 30.06 as a companion to the Garand, hoping to get...
  5. Black Powder Shooting / Muzzleloaders / Handguns
    Gonna be making some blackpowder 45lc cowboy loads soon and I had a "shower thought". Would cutting the lead projectile 1/4th down the bullet cause expansion or would it be more likely to damage the revolver? And if it would work, would cutting it into fourths(into a x shape) be better for...

    Looking to get into reloading for my walker conversion but I'd like to look for the source with the most recipes.(Books, online threads, etc.) Edit: Preferably blackpowder

    Ok, I got a great deal on a Hornady 336 auto 12 gauge at a recent gun show and was wondering if it will work with #4 buckshot since I like casting my ammo and lee makes an 18 cavity #4 buckshot mold. It would be great if it could use 00 buckshot too, but that seems like it might be too big. Does...
  8. Large-Bore/Small-Bore Rifle/Shotgun
    Hello fountains of knowledge, I picked up a pretty nice sportswriter Mas 36 on Saturday. It has 2-7x redfield scopeI want to try some distance shooting with it but the trigger is very heavy. I did a bit of reading and it seems I can replace the spring inside the bolt with a Wolff M1 carbine...

    Like most people, I feel the crunch on reloading supplies. $48 for 1,000 CCI Lg pistol primers. I get it, supply and demand. Last weekend, at a gun show in MT, I watched man after man pay $150 for bricks of 1,000 Sm rifle. I know of a neighbor that got taken for $200 on 3 boxes of primers...

    I saved over 6,500 used brass most being 5.56 so I cleaned a couple hundred here and there and deprimed them cleaned them then primed with small caliber primers now I moved on to powder I’m using BL-C(2) powder and averaging 25.6gr in each brass. When I put the bullet on (55gr FMJ) the bullet...

    Here are my latest attempts at my goal of putting 25 shots into a dime sized target. Not yet close enough. Need more tweaking but still having fun. And here is the lady that is helping me get there.

    Still searching for 1 hole performance. Measurements smaller when measured from center of hole to center of hole.

    Back to the rifle range in pursuit of perfection. Back to the range at 100 yards looking for 1 hole accuracy. Will be working toward my stated goal and having a lot of fun trying to get there.

    Finally felt safe enough to avoid Covid-19 and get out and do some target shooting. Here are the results from my 222 Custom Remington. Next step is to re-load the same brass with the same primers, same bullets and same powder charges and shoot an identical target at 100 yards see those...
  15. The Ammo & Reloading Forum
    I recently got a CZ Scorpion and I'm wanting to make some super hot loads to get as close to rifle ballistics as possible. Has anyone done this or have any advise? I understand it would wear the gun faster but I would only be shooting these in a SHTF scenario, not regularly.
  16. The Ammo & Reloading Forum
    Well I've been setting around on a raining day without much to do. I have shot my cap and ball revolver enough for it to need a dip in the sink and am not quite ready to do that just yet. My primers are getting lower than I like so am conserving those and not doing any sizable reloading runs...
  17. Contests& Giveaways
    I have a bunch of empty 9mm and 45 ACP ammo trays/boxes (Winchester, Herters, Remington, Federal and S&B) accumulated over the last few months. I hate to throw them out if any reloaders want them. If you do want them, please PM me your address and I will send them to you FREE of charge. First...

    In an attempt to salvage some 200 cases of loaded .243 Winchester (not military possible crimped) bought in a garage sale and somewhat corroded-I began the decapping and noticed many of the primers were fragmenting, the bottom separating and leaving the primer walls still in the pocket-I devised...

    Someone share a bad experience with me so I thought I'd pass it on. Prior to the last election a lot of people bought huge amounts of ammo. Yes, I also bought more than normal... Other than taking up space and having to keep it dry, it isn't much of an issue. I also reload and have thousands...
  20. The Ammo & Reloading Forum
    I know we have members in many parts of the world and while the ownership of firearms is very limited to non-existent I am curious about reloading supplies in countries where firearms are permitted albeit limited. I am still very much a newcomer to reloading but have come to enjoy the hobby...
