      I can’t be the only one?

      Life it too short... To worry about spilled primers. If they accidentally discharge, it's like a cap gun. If they don't discharge, then no worries. Right?

      ultrasonic cleaner for brass?

      I use a Lyman Ultrasonic Cleaner I use the Lyman ultrasonic cleaner with their proprietary cleaners for both brass cases and steel parts. Both the original one I bought from Midway and the replacement unit I got at no charge from Lyman fail to get to an adequate temperature. I get around...

      Quick Reloading Book Question

      Think about it If your manual lists the caliber, powder and projectile you are planning to use, then it can only be a problem if you jump right to the max load...which is an incredibly brave (stupid) thing to do. Assuming a modern firearm in good condition, I personally start about half-way...

      What are we doing wrong?

      Don't overdo it In two different AR's, I've found that any reload that fits in the magazine will feed and fire with no problems. None of my cartridges have ever been crimped and I've never found a case (no pun intended) where the bullet has moved because of recoil. I just select a powder that's...

      Who here forms Wildcats

      .17 Mach IV I've been shooting the .17 Mach IV in a Cooper rifle for over five years. Forming the brass from .221 Fireball is easy but requires multiple dies (I use Redding). Remington has followed the wildcatters by introducing the .17 Fireball rifles and factory ammo. At one point Cooper...

      New to reloading so here goes...

      Interchanging high-velocity and low-velocity bullets I have reloaded extensively for all three calibers. Sierra and most other bullet manufacturers specify "30-30 Win." in their listing for bullets suitable for that caliber. Since it operates at a significantly lower velocity than the other...

      Hello from Annapolis

      Alas, the Berwyn rifle range is only 100 yards. We used to have a 200-yard range but ran into some snags with MDPPC and had to revamp the range a few years back. The cost of installing overhead "safety" baffles and other improvements forced us to sacrifice use of the longer rifle range. I...

      Cleaning Brass

      A vote for plain walnut. I've worn out three vibratory cleaners and have always gotten wonderfully clean brass with a pretty good shine by using untreated walnut media and tumbling at least 8 hours after decapping. I have a little Lee Reloader press with a modified Lee decapping die (spun down...

      OCW - Already shoots sub-MOA with factory stuff.

      Don't forget the shooter! I've been reloading rifle ammo for over 20 years for both bolt guns and the AR platform. I endorse all of the advice given in this thread but also want to note that, even when shooting from a bench rest, the shooter's technique is an important determinant in the...

      Help choosing a .22 pistol

      Don't overlook the Ruger MK (x) I don't shoot much pistol any more but, from what you've described, I'd recommend a hard look at a Ruger .22 Auto in any number of configurations (blued or stainless, different barrel lengths/weights, etc.). They're practically unbreakable, won't wear out, can be...

      Another newbie from 'Nap town.

      Actually, from the "poor side" of the South River...Edgewater! I shoot high power rifle, skeet and various informal target games but don't hunt. I'm not very interested in "tactical" or "military" affairs. I do collect knives and cameras, which is kind of useful because I'm a part time...
