    RELOADING PROBLEM what can I do???

    The FIRST thing I do, with a "new" set of dies, is disassemble and clean them. The I check the schematics and assemble them per the specs. Bushings have an upside and a down-side! Bumping the shoulder back does NOT affect neck tension, except for the "dreaded donut". Consistent neck tension...

    Very encouraging reloading supplies observance at my LGS !

    Glad to hear of your good fortune. All of you. Here, in De., it's very spotty. Today, I found some 748, but NO pistol powders, or shotgun powders. Two months ago, the shelves were full, for a time. Our new Cabelas has been stripped, since shortly after it opened.

    Gov. Limiting Supplies?

    I have some friends that know I reload. They call me for info. Some bought their first gun (ARs) during the scare, and have been franticly searching for ammo AND components since then. When they can't find what they want, they get more frantic. AND THEY DON'T RELOAD. They just want to "be ready...

    Where to buy blemished bullets?

    Ditto on Midsouth. You have to go to the LAST pages to find them, and bulk, sometimes. Try item 1001.

    How does a bullet go down the barrel and why is ammo rare?

    Sorry, had to reboot. The link from Berlin to St. John's went down. I had that "wrecked truck" thing happen to me, years ago, but it was ice cream. Luckily, I had a spoon.

    I bought a savage! Been a Remmy guy, for TOO long.

    Just dipping a toe. No way, I'm selling any of my Remmies, but it looked so alone in the store, and it gives me something to play with, while I wait for the BAT action. I'm thinking like Nashlaw. If it doesn't work out, I'll sell it on Guns America as an uber duper counter sniper rifle.How's...

    I bought a savage! Been a Remmy guy, for TOO long.

    It's an old 110V. The gun has an old Leuopold 12X on it. It's a 223, but it's a long action. Thought it would be a good base for a little gun smithing , switch barrel gun, to "try" some different cartridges with. Figure it'll get a new stock, trigger, and another bolt, or bolt face. I'm thinking...

    Fire at powder plant?

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    By the way, I use a simple procedure for avoiding a double charge. My primed empties start in a Glad food container. They get a charge, then placed in the loading tray, ready for a bullet. Not tray-charge-tray.

    Stupid questions ...

    I like this section. It's one of the most entertaining. I do, sometimes, feel sorry for some of the guys that post here when they get burned. The post heading should add"Post at your own risk". A few do need a thicker skin. A few need to "listen up" , and some need to lite'n up. I can think of a...

    Would I be missing anything by skipping the bolt and going straight to semi for LR?

    This is the"stupid" ssection, so I forgive him.......but I'm gonna get some popcorn and watch the fireworks. Naaaa, it's looking like a good range day. Check this for later.

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    Thank you,mr. Schramm,, for the research. It's always been my thought that if a person wants to avoid possible prosecution in a self defense case, the only sure way is to let the assailant kill you. I' m with pmclaine on using what I can hit with. At least at trial, my lawyer can argue that I...

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    OK then Try 6.0 Unique, with the 230 plated. Sorry, that,s my old load for my 45s. I tend to buy and load by the thousand. I moved down in bullet weight to try the 200s and 185s and managed to find some titegroup during the shortage.

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    I did a gun specific load work up for my sons hk .45. With 5.8 grns Titegroup behind a 185 gr. plated H.P. he can put 10 shots inside a 4 in. circle at 7 yds. I think it would be a fair defensive load and it's easy to shoot. I also load Unique. It's a little fluffier, but you can still double...

    trouble hitting past 400 yards

    Welcome to the "HARD PART" of long range. Wind is tricky. Good luck! On a side note, 2 weeks ago I was doin the same thing at 600, with a borrowed gun. What REALLY added to my frustration, was a niece of mine { shooting her first shots EVER} getting behind the same gun and ,POW DING, POW...
