      General cost to reload per round.

      My disposable income is the same if I reload or shoot factory ammo. I spend the same amount either way, but I get to shoot a lot more for the same price if I reload. But I do agree with your point that you don't save money by reloading.

      General cost to reload per round.

      Really depends what you pay for components and how much you use. I just bought bullseye powder for $22 per pound. In 9mm I use 3.5 grs, that's 1.1 cents per round of powder, primers are $25 per k or 2.5 cents each. I pick up range brass. I cast my own bullets from scrap lead, so if I...

      Sig m 400 pistol with sig brace MD legal.

      I was just coming here to ask about a similar thing. I'm a VA resident. I'm currently building an AR pistol, 10.5" barrel, with Sig brace. My Maryland co-worker wants me to bring it to a range session with him in Maryland. Is it legal for me to bring into MD? Thanks in advance.

      Terry promises "new era of liberal policy. "

      +1 4 years of gridlock. McAwful isn't going to pass his agenda, there won't be any anti gun bills that pass, but no pro gun bills will either.

      Boy Scouts low on ammo, need your help!

      But what proof do you have that this ammo is part of the 2013 shipment to scouts? What proof do you have that this ammo was actually delivered to the scouts and is now being resold in violation of the agreement under which the ammo was sold? You seem to have an agenda of painting BSA in a...

      Boy Scouts low on ammo, need your help!

      What makes you think I didn't read them? The post I quoted was blaming it on councils selling off ammo at a profit. My statement was that an individual took the ammo. Big difference between the two. Yes the council was supposed to ask for the minimum they needed to get through 2013...

      Any markings on the rifle of the NZ police? NZ police, like the British are unarmed. They couldn't have too many rifles in the aresenal so a real one would be pretty rare.

      Hanging up my reloading hat

      Take your reloading gear to NC with you. Load in the evenings when off of work. You need to do something with your time. Mine sat for 6 years while I worked overseas. Everything was fine when I came back. Keep it dry and bare steel lubricated and it will be fine.

      Question about point of impact on reloads

      FTF as in Failure To Fire If your primer is not seated all the way then most of the firing pin energy is wasted pushing the primer forward and it doesn't hit hard enough to set off the primer. A second hit will usually set the primer off. FTF as in Failure To Feed A primer seated to...

      Question about point of impact on reloads

      Good advice for working with rifle rounds, but when dealing with a pistol round that starts at 4.1 grs and maxes out at 4.9 grs going up by .5 grs doesn't give you very many loads to try. It also approaches max load very fast. You start out at 4.1 grs, then you get 4.6 grs, then you are over...
