  1. Maybe... I was thinking more of a H&R Handi rifle in 32 Fed, but since "freedom group" closed them down that wont happen. Oh well, can't have everything we want or life would get pretty dull.
  2. I have owned and like both for different purposes. The 17 Hmr is ideal for target and small varmint. Very flat shooting and explosive. Ground hog is about the max. The 22 WMR is more of a hunters cartridge. Less meat destruction and more penetration. Coyote is about the max. I don't own either now because I reload for 223 Remington, which is much more versatile, and cheaper than either 17hmr or 22mag.
  3. I reload for 32 mag, 32 long, 32 short, and 32 acp. Personally my favorite is 32 long. I can reload for it cheaper than I can buy 22lr, think it was about $0.03 per shot last time I did the math. It is accurate and fun to shoot. H&R 732. I carry the 32 acp as a backup or deep concealment. Kel-tec p32. The woman of the house has taken a shine to the 32 Mag revolver for defense. Nef Lady ultra. I would like to have a rifle in 327 Fed Mag but haven't found one yet. If I could find a rifle I might consider a revolver.
  4. I reload for a Savage 10FCM to good effect. Found a good deal on 700 once fired brass at the local range for $20. He said he couldn't give the stuff away, as no one reloads for it. My reloads run about the same price as the cheap stuff (.25 cents per round), and shoot a whole lot better. My Yugo SKS can easily run as a strait pull bolt, so no worries about losing or mangling brass there either. AA1680 powder, and trail boss are my powder of choice.

    SKS Tech Sights

    I have two SKS's both with Tech Sights installed, a Yugo and a Norinco paratrooper. I love them. They bring new life to these rifles. I also recommend the target post (only $5) by the same people, it is a lot thinner and allows for better sight picture. I also have Tech Sights on my Marlin 60, love those to.
  6. Maybe you guys could get together for a bullet pulling party. Just buy plenty of beer.
  7. The money comes out when I see the retail prices they are charging these days. Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
  8. I like to keep it simple. Covers everything I need, and can be found anywhere. 22lr 9mm 45acp 7.62x39 12ga
  9. The price wont go up much for some time to come. There is a quite a bit of overstock that was ordered in the last hording. In fact from the few shop owners I have talked to, are complaining that they will probably have to discounting it to make room for other stock. I'm willing to bet there will be a price cut before there is much of an increase in price. As for another hording episode. Meh, I reload. I have plenty of brass and primers to last a LONG time. I also have plenty of factory ammo. Just my 2cents.
  10. I haven't had any problems with UMC in 9mm or 45ACP.
  11. I use a air compressor with a blower nozzle, takes about 10 min to do 300 casings.
  12. Tumble it and add a few drops of liquid car wax, it will clean right up. The discolored cases wont matter. If a round fails to go off make sure to check for squibs.
  13. Only you can decide what rifle is best for you. If you want a rifle to shoot, get a the marlin. If you like tinkering and dumping loads of money on it, then the 10/22 is your rifle. I often out shoot a freind with my Marlin 60 with Tech Sights off-hand, and him with his modified 10/22 on a fence post. Pisses him off to no end.
  14. Anyone know of a shop that I can get a barrel drilled and tapped for a front sight around this area? If there is no other place closer then what about Murfreesboro?
  15. If there is one thing I have learned from my reloading experience, and trying to do it on the cheap, is do not skimp on the scale. If you don't have much money go with a good beam scale. If you can afford it then the RCBS is top notch. I played around with buying cheap scales (digital and beam) and ended up just wasting money. After all was said and done I splurged with my tax refund and ordered a Chargemaster. The Rangemaster is the same scale that comes with the Chargemaster set, and if you find you need the powder dispenser it can be installed on the Rangmaster.
  16. The modern 147gr HP's are designed to expand at the slower speeds and so will perform just fine. In fact they tend to carry more momentum to the target and penetrate deeper. Considering reaching the vitals is more important than temporary cavity's, I carried Winchester's 147gr HP for years until I start reloading my own. More than anything use what works best in your pistol and penetrates to the vitals. Some interesting tests 9x19mm terminal 9mm luger
  17. Gun deals is the best place I have found for tracking the cheapest prices. They will also calculate the shipping if you enter your zip code. Just wish they had a reloading section.
  18. the reloaders bench is where I bought mine. They had large pistol primers, small pistol magnum primers, rifle large\small. I bought what they had left of small magnum primers, but that was a couple weeks ago they should have more by now.
  19. I have a Frankford Arsenal digital scale, but from playing around with both of them, I like the Lee better. From what I have read the digital scales seem to be more prone to electrical interference and more sensitive to dust and requires a warm up period. Maybe once I get to loading a few it will change though. As for the dippers I will probably weigh the first 100 to 200 loads to get the hang of them, and then move to about every 10 or so loads. From what I have read the volume measure is more consistent at producing accurate loads than weight. Some target shooters measure by volume only and the charge might vary by weight a few grains but turn out to being more accurate.
  20. For hardware its --------------- Lee single stage Lee carbide 3 die set Lee safety balance scale Lee dipper set As for Manuals its ----------------- Lee Second Edition Lyman Pistol & Revolver Third Edition And various free manuals from powder compainys Let me know if I left something out.
  21. Well it looks like bullseye and Unigue (you heard me ) is what is recommended. So I guess the next question is which one is cleaner?
  22. Woops, durn typo. I will be loading standard pressure loads, as I do not see a need for +p loads for my uses. The reason for going with the powders listed is that they are the most dense, requiring the least powder and should save money in the long run. Am I right?
  23. What do you recommend for both 9mm and 45acp?
  24. Nice, the one on the left is sexy.
