WOW, thanks for all the great info in this thread. So far I have taken the advice I got to load some at 22.5, 23, and 23.5 (seated at 2.220-2.225). It's raining today, so I may get a chance to do the...
I was concerned that they looked like they were out too far, but they measure less than the 2.245 the bullet manufacturer says they should measure.
At 2.225 they are not out of the SAAMI spec, and...
I didn’t know where to ask a noob question on the board about reloading, and since it doesn’t involve cast bullets I wasn’t sure it would be allowed. I'm hoping this inquiry is OK and posted...
At the Thompson PA gun show there was a guy trying to sell primers for $225/1000 and rifle powder for $65/lb

Went to a gun show last weekend and they had a pretty good...

Another scam with fake e-commerce sites: they only take paypal, then they ship an empty box by USPS to an address in your zip code (but not your address)
When you dispute the charge with paypal...

"But the bottom line is first time reloaders that have never had the chance to stock pile primers will pay that price.
Until ammo gets back on the shelves and STAYS on the shelves, the price of...

I picked up some H 335 FOR $32/LB, didn't think that was terrible.

I'm reading that book now.
I got into reloading because of the ammo shortage, given the cost of supplies it certainly hasn't saved me any money. I'd like to get back into training at the range...

Probably not a bad idea to stop shopping ebay, which is one of the reasons google led me to this forum. Just starting out I didn’t know where else to look, especially because most of the items I...

I got into reloading over the past several months, would be doing more of it if I could find primers.
I’ve been lurking on this forum reading for several weeks, id like to get into casting - I...
