    Primers coming down fast

    A month or two ago they were down to around $30/1000, then $28, then $25 and today I see some Wolf small rifle and pistol primers for $19.95 or $99/5000. Winchesters were $23, CCI just a bit higher. The guy said he is stocking up for after the election because if what everyone thinks is going...

    New or old Lee Auto Primer or something else?

    I have had two of the old model Lee Auto Prime tools for many years. One is over 25 years old but I have not used it consistently over those years. The handle broke which I read is a common problem and Midway has them for $2.09 each. Now I see Lee is producing a new Auto Prime tool called the...

    Powder options for handgun loads

    I know I am asking for it on this one but I need to sort through all of the options. Several months ago I read and read and decided to go with Titegroup on all my handgun loads. I see so many options I wonder if I am doing the right thing by sticking to one powder. I load the following: 9MM/115...

    Opinion of the 17HMR round?

    Interesting little round. Never gave it much thought until I shot a Single Six and it was pretty sweet. The guy who had it also had a rifle in 17 and swears by it for dog hunting. It is fast but is the higher cost of ammo compared to 22 worth it? I sure did like shooting it but then I always...

    Anyone have special loads for an LCR?

    Really? No one has or has shot a Sig AR 22?

    I looked at them again this weekend and they have a very nice trigger pull compared to the Smith. That being said, I know nothing about their reliability, feeding and accuracy.

    Primer find

    I had decided to forgo some new firearms and start to build more stock of supplies for reloading. Found tons of primers in Arkansas last week while on a vacation but wow were they expensive, upper 30's to 55 a 1,000. So today I hit a shop that has had some decent prices and picked up 5,000 CCI...

    Opinions of the Sig 522 rifle

    I have always liked the looks of them. Now looking seriously at one. I can pick one up for $450 and mags are $19.50. I like the feel of the rifle but don't want a jammer or something that shots all over the place. What has been your experience with this rifle?

    Your experiences with Montana Gold 22 caliber

    I have used the Gold bullet in 9 MM, 115 grain and like it very much. Has anyone used their .224 diameter, 55 grain FMJ bullet? They only sell them in bulk, no 1,000 round boxes so I want to make certain I am getting a good product for the money. A case is 3,500 bullets. Also considering the...

    Need some 9MM data

    A friend gave me some 125 grain lead, round nose bullets. Normally I load 115 grain for my 9 but wanted to try these out. I use Titegroup powder and have great results with it on the 115's at 4.3 grains. I have looked through all my books and on the Hodgdon site and can't seem to find what I...

    Does new brass need to be sized?

    This may be a dumb question. I have previously reloaded all once or more fired brass and either FL or neck sized depending on what rifle it goes back in. I picked up some new brass in 223 a while back and never gave it much thought. My first inclination is that it is OK to just load right out...

    357 Rifles

    I was talking to a friend tonight who cleaned up his reloading area and got back in the saddle after being away for 20+ years. He said he would like to find a 357 rifle. I don't much about rifles in that caliber although I shoot and reload 357 revolvers. I did some research and found the...

    Best Scope for the 204 Ruger?

    Ran into a friend last night as he was looking at some scopes. I asked him what he needed it for and he said he just picked up a new CZ rifle in Ruger 204. After drooling a bit, I asked him what he was looking for and he wasn't sure. Anyone got some ideas? I have several different rifles and...
