Might be time to take another look at reloading
Ray Z replied to DaveTN's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Been loading for over 50 years. Great past time. Good way to get away from the pressures from work and the way my wife greeted me at the door coming home, " Do you know what your boys did today!" Started out with a RCBS rock chucker press and added on from there. I now still load on it and Dillon 650. Got 14 different die sets for that and maybe half that many that I still load on my rock chucker. Started casting my own bullets a couple years into loading. I now have 15-20 sets of 4 cavity Lyman molds a real nice sizing machine. It's been a great hobby for a lot of years. Sure kept my out of the poor house shooting practical pistol. -
Might be time to take another look at reloading
Ray Z replied to DaveTN's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Reefermac came up with the word I've been looking for for years. I put some tunes on in the workshop area, clear the clutter from my reloading bench, and start sizing brass... its therapeutic like any mindless repetitive task. After a bad day at work, and after the three S's, I head for the loading room and pound out a few hundred rounds, Works great both for my nerves and for the ammo cabinet. -
Not only was the chargemaster faster, but it eliminated another possible problem in missing a charge once in a while. Love mine. Well worth the bucks.

Best bucks I ever spent on reloading equipment. [ Well after buying my rock chucker ]I used to hate to load bottle neck cartridges before someone here suggested this...... https://www.brownells.com/reloading/powder-handling/powder-measures-dispensers/chargemaster-combo-scale-and-dispenser-sku749008386-33642-71484.aspx. Next step was the length of time it took for it the throw a charge. Here again it was here that I got a code that changed the time it took for it to go from fast to trickle on the charge.

I agree with Ronald 55 about the media. If the bad guys would bleed more often the problems would stop. I may be being a bit selfish but I want places like this for the good guys.

When the boys were growing up camping made a lot of vacations possible. Most we paid for a camping spot was $33 a night. Siesta key. Key West, and Mammoth Cave just to name a few. No work to speak of. Bonnie and I shared the driving, I backed the trailer in the space [with Bonnie's help], and leveled the trailer, the boys did the hook ups, Bonnie and I switched off cooking and doing the dishes, We found one K.O.A. in Florida that we could scuba dive right off the side of the campgrounds. When the boys grew up it was as economical. 18' trailer, and full sized van. More family fun than we had ever had before.

Sorry, won't buy Colt since they stopped selling the Ar 15 to the general public trying to attach their lips to Uncle Sam's backside

I have always felt that reloading was part of the shooting sports. It was always a good way to chill out after a bad day at work or an evening with the boys climbing the walls. [Both my kids were hyperactive]

Small pistoll primers selling for $100.00 per 1000 on GB
Ray Z replied to a topic in Ammunition and Reloading
These people won't be forgotten. When this is over I certainly won't be buying from them, They are part of the shooting community I wouldn't spend my money there. -
Where can I get cheap 38spl caliber ammo?
Ray Z replied to darob's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Just about ready to start selling my reloads. Only thing is that I'm going to need to get about 5 million dollars in liability insurance first. -

Your favorite press? (Non progressive)
Ray Z replied to maroonandwhite's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Started with a rock chucker. Then went to a square deal B. Now a 650. As soon as I get the bucks, I'm getting a 750. Never had a complaint about any of them. Even swedged one case from another. [ 8mm from 30/06 ect. -

Why aiming for center mass is important
Ray Z replied to ironsniper1's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
What our instructor told us was to continue to fire until the danger stops being a threat. Works for me.Unless There's someone behind the dude watching for the bullets to come through. -
I bought my wife a M&P9 EZ for a car gun because she couldn't rake the slide on a regular M&P. I just bought a Taurus G3 for me just for giggles. Guess what? She can rack it as good as a M&P9 EZ. To go along with that the G3 double actions on the second shot if the first one fails to fire.The trigger is super and the magazines that come with the gun are 15 and 17 rounds. I've always been a M&P fan but that could change. You people have got to check it out.

I gotta ask, what does it take to convert 223 to 300 blackout?

I’m also one of those that believe there is no way rounds loaded by a reputable manufacturer, even cheap range ammo such as WWB, aren’t more consistent and a better quality than someone loading at home. Boy! do I disagree with you. The powders I use are much cleaner, more accurate,and much more consistent than any factory ammo I have ever used.

If I'm in danger of loosing my life or the lives of those around me I'm going to take best means I can to stop the threat.
