Getting your feelings hurt actually go way back as a conservative term before be8ng hijacked by the LEFT for balony reasons. For an old salt conservative like me it meant loosing a huge pot with a...

As retired military been brainwashed to Simi & automatic weapons. But recently this year been buying bolt actions and pumps which seem to delay the consideration of marksmanship placement and save...

I guess I'll add to this old threat by saying I'm pleased with my purchase last fall of the low cost Remington 783 bolt action with adjustable trigger, synthetic stock, and a really cheap scope...

I sold mine like new in 2011 at the gun show for what I paid 5 years earlier and a dealer snatched it up before the show even opened. I must say IMPO mine was an excellent shooter and carry to the...

Well Im probubly not used to looking at these primer crimps and the different types. Like I said the old surplus I shot myself with the head-stamp SL-45 has anywhere from 2 to 6 little punch-like...

Wow the 100 cases of polished once fired 50 BMG Lake City cases arrived in a Mil-green ammo can just like the photo filled with some of the media used to polish it. I don't know what the significance...

I pretty much know of what casting is and have this idea that swaging is press molding a bullet from a blank sort of like the way a coin is struck, is that about right? If so the bullet is still a...

Hi everyone as some of you know Im new here and getting into 50 BMG reloading and .72/.50 muzzleloader casting, for the 1st time. Tired of swapping out 1 AR lower I ordered a 2nd new Del-Ton AR-15...

Wow! I missed these new post thanks. I decided to wait for the polished 50 BMG LC brass I ordered (100/$44 shipped) before I try de-priming using the press. I have the reloading bench location and...

Well if its any consolation tomorrow Ill be canceling my dish service. As a conservative I don't see anything on TV that is objective anymore, even the History and Discovery channels are more about...

Been busy getting some things done before summer kicks in (painting trim on the house, de-winterizing motorcycles) with 125F temps. Transitioning from one long time hobby (dirt biking/ATV) to the...

Yeah its weird, the kids grew up moved away and have successful lives and its been 7 months since my wife passed and I still catch myself thinking I have to ask permission before I make any changes....

Thanks I looked and looked and even got a PM offer from a member for unpolished 50 brass for much more. Considering its the lowest price I have seen for surplus LC unpolished brass, and the fact...

New at reloading I thought this was a good deal Id share. After counting I found out I only have 100 rds of my own spent 50 BMG brass and thought I should have more on hand. So I bought this 100...

I live alone with the kids and wife gone I don't even need a 6 chair table anymore and was considering cutting it down anyway with my skill-saw to make it a 4 chair table. Its all hardwood and steam...

"It's lot easier than replacing the fingers and eyes (and LIVES) you might lose by distracting yourself with the idiot box while handloading.Generations of handloaders have learned this hard truth,...

Being a widower I m tempted to bolt down my new RCBS press where I would really like it, on the oak coffee table in front of the TV and sit on the sofa, or the dinning room table near the kitchen...

"To save wear and tear on the press I manually deprime using a hardwood block. A 13/16 forsner bit makes a hole just slightly larger than the case. Then drill a hole large enough for the primer to...

"Nice try, but it's actually around TWO hundred -and-twenty grains per full-power round....maybe thirty rounds per pound. No wonder that we spend a lot of effort in finding inexpensive powder for the...

"You want to use an old refrigerator that is broken or at least unplugged and dry."Oh I see as an insulator, maybe that means i can keep it in the garage at 95F in summer. I was thinking that inside...

"I have to say that, in 45 years in this game, you are the FIRST that I've met who commences his handloading career with the .50BMG."
I know but in my particular case since Im a technician by trade...

If the brass is berdand primed the rcbs tool wont work as the 2 smaller flash holes are off center and normal primed brass has one centuraly located larger flash hole . Yup, looking down the spent...

Although a long time instructor and range master, due to cost and a desire for better ammo performance consistency, 50 BMG will be my very first attempt ever at reloading ammo. Im using the RCBS...

Well its been a while and the Nave was the smaller part of my service (8 of 30 Yrs), but yes I had to make a decision at the Navel Gun School in Great Lakes Ill (74) which of the 3 GM rating I was...
