Scavenging reloading supplies
Hey there guys, its my first post here. I am a serious gun owner turning reloader.
In my search for 9mm reloading components I have found it near impossible to find any powder :(
After reading about different handgun loads and seeing a lot of people using shotgun powder for their pistol loads it gave me an idea....
Maybe I can buy bulk Federal 12ga target loads and scavenge them for their powder and lead! 100rd pack at my local wallyworld is $19.96, so I decided to do the math...
if I did a 3.5gr powder charge I could get about 450 9mm loads and almost as many cast 115gr bullets with the lead shot from them.
Of course I would have to build up a load to fing out what would be the best charge per velocity.
I just thought I'd post this to see if anyone had the same idea and what you all think about the idea.
If anyone has done something of this sort and could give their insight that would be great!
I look forward to hearing from all you experienced folk!
