    Reloading in movie!!!

    I was watching “Wind River” the other day and I couldn’t believe that they actually showed someone reloading who wasn’t a crazed mass murder(you know us Reloader really just that) it looked very realistic. He was using a RCBS auto scale and a Lee press. Looked to be reloading the 444 Marlin. He had a nice all weather SS Marlin with a laminate stock. It was just a short scene but it was nice to see.

    The opening scene of Jack Reacher has reloading as well.

    There was a thread here about Wind River the other day. Pretty good movie, though I wouldn't really call it a great movie. Awfully dark.

    Corny I know...but I believe there was either reloading or a good shot of a reloading bench setup in the older movie "Tremors".

    Several episodes of Supernatural show shotshell loaders loading salt rounds.
    Eugene has a big reloading setup going on The Walking Dead as well.

    In Eastwood's second 'Dirty Harry' flick (Magnum Force), there's a scene in Callahan's apartment where a table with an RCBS single-stage press and powder measure are in the background. Also in the original 'Red Dawn', there's a scene where Ben Johnson gives Patrick Swayze a box of reloads for his father's sixgun and Burt Lancaster is shown assembling loads for his Sharps in 'Valdez is Coming.'

    Yes I remember it too. He and his wife were in "the bunker" and he fired up an Orange vibrating brass tumbler on that reloading bench that called the worms to his abode like a dinner bell.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    Yup, that was the movie Silver Bullet, from the Steven King novel.

    I liked in the Death Wish (2?) movie, Bronson is seating the bullets in the cases for the 475 Wildey and he's darned near laying on the press handle to seat them. Maybe he had the die bottoming out on the shellholder?? Funny stuff.

    I believe it was an episode of “Colombo” in the early 70’s that Bobby Darin was seen reloading a few cartridges on a single stage. Likely,very shortly before his death.

    There is a scene in a Steven Seagull movie where he and an associate are shown reloading ammunition.

    Mel Gibson cast bullets in The Patriot. Loved how he just dropped it from the mold into the palm of his hand. Either that was really faked or he's the toughest SOB alive.

    Many episodes of all the Alaska reality shows have people reloading. In the Edge of Alaska Jeremy is also casting lead bullets for his single action handgun.
