On the cheap.. Lee Loader 38sp 357mag . Have you used one?
Started reloading with a Lee loader in 38/357 in 1975. in an absolute emergency they work but sure are slow. I Like the Dillon or even a single stage press much better for production but you sacrifice price and of course, portability. If you are going to transport components, though, probably... -
I am this old….
Probably going to get a lot worse before it gets more worse. -
I am this old….
It is quite possible these were old stock. Then as now I was always looking for a bargain. -
I am this old….
And have been reloading this long. I remember buying a brick of these for less than $9. -
I just got off the phone with the Tech Rep. at IMR powders.
I have been stuffing shells for almost as long as I’ve been married, which will be 50 years in December. The selection of components, when they are available, is far better today than when I started. The internet makes acquiring information and input easier for load development. I sure miss the... -

I like Accurate 2460 a lot for .308 but I’ve not loaded 6.8 SPC -
What have you been doing at the bench today?
I bought a bunch of 32-20 (I had thought it was 25-20 but memory probably fails) but had also bought 100 rounds of .218 brass years ago so I never had to convert any. Sold the rifle probably 8 or so years ago and the brass went shortly thereafter. It was a fun little gun but was in a niche I... -
What have you been doing at the bench today?
I don’t load this caliber and if you have to make brass out of .357 maximum I’m pretty glad I don’t. Reminds me of trying to source brass for the .218 bee. -

A question for you veteran Reloaders
if I can get by with one shot I use it. I have been resizing 7.62x51 brass that has been shot in military rifles and have to roll lube them to get this done. Military rifles seem to have slightly oversized chambers, I would suppose to enhance reliability, this requires a SB die and some force to... -
Another Dumb Question - This time - powders
Reloader 15 is pretty versatile in the .30 range. Accurate 2460, IMR 3031, are some I have used, mainly for .308 Winchester. -
Can anyone Id this powder?
No way I would use a powder with unknown burn rate. Tomatoes need nitrogen too. -
Decent primer for those threads that begin....
I’ve saved hundreds of dollars reloading over the years and it only taken several thousand dollars and a lot of time to do it. -
Loading quantity
I have loaded way more than I have shot over the years which gives me a different perspective than most when they start carping about the ammo shortages. -
Let’s see your reloading stash!
Won’t show mine now, this makes mine look paltry. -
Primer availability
I’ve always thought that the gun control issue would be attacked by taxing or litigating ammo companies out of business and on the reloaded side by making primers non-available. Logic tells me the current situation is driven somewhat by supply and demand but I would think if just that, it would... -
Dillon 550 Reloading Setup?
A roller handle makes a world of difference. -
Is this legit?
They are milking the cow before it goes dry. Why would you invest billions in an industry the feds could eliminate or regulate to the point where it was unprofitable. Get it while you can, I guess. Good thing we all saw this coming for the last two decades isn’t it. -
What is your “go too” powder for pistol caliber rounds…and why?
I don’t really want to start one, I just seem to have that talent, -
What is your “go too” powder for pistol caliber rounds…and why?
This would no doubt start a fight at my house. Started one last night just by saying “yes dear”.
