    Where on Earth Can I find Hodgdon 4895?

    I've been looking for this powder a long time and nobody seems to ever have it in stock. I started looking just after most of Covid was gone. Has it been discontinued and no longer produced by Hodgdon? It seems to be very versatile and I'd love to give it a try. Sounds like it would work...

    LEE 45 ACP Dies

    I don't normally buy LEE Dies. However I was in a pinch and needed a set of 45 ACP dies. Since I do own a set of LEE dies and I never had any problem with them I decided, what the hey, I'll give it a spin. LEE was the only brand I could find, so ..... LEE it is. Here is the problem. The...

    Remington 788/243, long or short action?

    I have a Remington 788 chambered in Winchester .243. I bought it at a pawn shop about a year ago. The action is in very good condition and the rifle is a tack driver. It even makes me look good. I can nail a golf ball at 100 yards. Very cool. I have a question, the rifle's stock is in...

    Scored some powder today

    I found some Hodgdon H-110 at the LGS today. It was marked $29.99 per can, high I know, but I needed it. I also drove 50 miles round trip and paid sales tax. I got what I asked for. I heard H110 and Win 296 were one and the same. I need it for my .357 Magnum loads. Are supplies getting a...

    Hoarding for Profit

    I made it down to my home town this past weekend and heard this story while out at the range. This guy in Lake Jackson shows up a WalMart after each and every ammo shipment. I supposing he has inside info on what time the shelves will be stocked. He shows up and buys all of the popular ammo...

    I don't get it.

    I can understand the shortage of firearms and ammo. It's a kneejerk reaction to Obama getting re-elected .... and a no brainer. I can even understand the shortage of primers and powder, sort of. What I can't for the life of me understand is the shortage of reloading tools. Did the election...

    Finally!

    I ordered a Hornady LNL AP and all the goodies I'd need to get going. In the proces I sold my RCBS Turret to raise a little cash. I also reclaimed my RCBS RockChucker from my son, with his blessings. This was back in late October (10/25/12). I ordered 6 shell plates, several LNL bushings and...

    Trouble with 9mm LEE mold

    This is a little unusual, I think. The problem is the top ring on the bullet. This is a LEE mold # 90465, 9mm 124 grain round nose. This bullet is made for LEE Alox Tumble lube. I have had great success with the lube and the rest of my LEE molds, however this one is causing a problem...
