Re Loaders check in

[*** YELLER ***]

Reloading time, my uncle gave me all that you see here and now I need to figure out how to do it  gonna be loading . . . .

Pistol - .38, .357, .380, .40, .45, 9mm
Rifle  - .223, 22-250, 30-30, 30-06, 7.62X54, 7.62X51/308
Shotgun - .410g, 12g, 20g

gotta allot to learn but I have a good free start

I wish I shot enough to need to reload my own.  I need to stock up on .300 Savage brass.  Since most manufacturers are going away from that caliber.

super interested in this.  had some stuff given to me too but still need more and don't have a good place to do it since i rent.  have quite a bit of brass too

[*** YELLER ***]

thats how I got this stuff and I have no idea how any of it works. . . . so its learnin' time

Maybe we can start a shell casing trade and swap   'cause I pick up everything I see at our range even if I don't need it

check out some of these benches Nate, you would be surprised how little room ya need to reload

[kneedownnate]

Thanks, will check it out.  Biggest problem is my roommates don't even like me having stuff in the fridge, let alone the house.  Was gonna talk my friend into it but his dad is getting back into reloading too, so he won't need it.

[*** YELLER ***]

have quite a bit of brass too

how much and what caliber

[kneedownnate]

40 cal, 308, 243, 6.5x55 swede, and a very little 223 and 10mm so far...  And a little 9mm and 7.62x54 I picked up at the range.  Was asleep at the wheel and didn't notice the guys to my right left a ton of brass till a guy pulled up and filled a large coffe can 1 1/2 times with 223 brass 

I have a bad (read: good) habit of buying ammo for guns I don't own, which comes in handy when I do buy one.  My glock was the only gun I've ever bought that I didn't already have ammo stocked for, but I had 100 rounds by the time I picked it up.  I have some 300 win mag, 30-30 and 9mm but don't have any of those yet.  Yet

[*** YELLER ***]

getting the hang of this reloading stuff

so far 200 12g loaded

working on the 1880 .45 acp shells I have

then the 380 9mm

then . . . .

Wow Yeller some of that stuff is old.  I might be into reloading, Depends on who's asking.
I just got thru depriming a bunch of 7.62x51 brass, gotta clean up the pockets and it'll be ready to reload.
I need a lot more bullets however.

[BadnewsBob]

You have some good equipment there. all serviceable equipment and parts are still available, some of the primers and powder looks real old but that don't normally mean much. If you don't have them get several books. Lees and Lymans have some of the best info for new reloaders. Almost all of the powder companies have info online as do the bullet companies. There is so much more you can do when you reload it makes shooting even more fun IMHO.
Dig in and have fun now while we still can.

Here's a shot of my reloading room, AKA the Mancave, AKA the Gun room.....

[BadnewsBob]

maybe

[*** YELLER ***]

Bob ya show off nice collection there buddy, I've reloaded over 500 12 g  shells now I'm debating on starting on .45 or.223 to get my feet wet on, dont own a .223 but I'm giving them to a friend, but I have a .45 so I think I'm gonna start there and see how it goes I have lots and lots of bullets for the .223 and just about 150 of .45, so .45 it will be quick then onto .223

Straight walled pistol cases are easier to reload than rifle cases, Just make sure you have the crimp die set right or they may not feed in a 1911. Also if you have carbide pistol dies you don't have to lube the cases. The rifle cartridges all need to be lubed before you can re size them. 8)
