  1. I started off reloading because I'm the type that enjoys doing everything myself by hand. I've never really noticed a significant cost savings except for. 50 BMG which I have to say is substantial. 

    Let me know what you need, chances are I might have some of your missing components/powder. I standardized a lot of my plinking recipes a couple years back and have been sitting on about 20 random powders that I know longer use.  Maybe I should just take inventory and post it all up I'm willing to give most of it up free of charge.

  2. Personally I got to the point where I recognized the benefit of a progressive but at the same time if I am loading hunting, self defense, or long range I run it as a single step press. 

    As too scales I see no difference between a balance beam or a well calibrated digital except that a digital, especially a trickle charger has a time benefit. The beauty of reloading is its up to you and what you find the most rewarding. Ultimately that's what reloading is about. We do it as a majority in my mind as a satisfying and sometimes relaxing way to reflect and learn more about our hobby by turning it into a craft. 

  3. I quit buying firearms a couple years ago and focused on upgrading everything I had / buying spare parts. Theres only been a couple exceptions and given recent political events I am glad I did. I would suggest something similar since you stated you have all the basics covered.

    .357Sig and 40S&W are far too powerful for most normal Red Dots. Why… the massive recoil would rip them right off and probably knock you out. Probably a liability issue.

    Don't think so. I have one on my FNX I converted to. 460 Rowland and it has been just fine. That thing fires so hard your palms are checkered and you have a neat little FN after one shot. 

  5. And use a round with a wide meplat, preferably a hard cast. Even. 357 can be a little on the small side if your not right in the wheel house. As said earlier. Deer are a lot tougher then people when it comes to getting shot and your number one concern should be a humane harvest. Plus chasing after a deer that runs off two hundred yards just sucks. 

  6. I am not. 

    The name comes from an incident while in the Marines. I took a bet between an engineer and a mortarman to light a 60mm mortar increment charge with a lit cigarette. I had to bend down and blow on it. You know where this is going.... 

    I got the 20 bucks and almost got NJP'd for being "as stupid as a rock"
