I tried searching but could not find anything, but has there been any new laws restricting powder sales in Maryland? I am aware of the five pound storage limit fire regulation, but I recently tried to buy powder from Wideners and it was denied.
Calling them, they said they got a notice...
I already had the RCBS measure and wanted a second powder drop for my Hornady LNL AP press. While, Hornady's LNL set up makes switching calibers easy, that is only after you have set up and tuned all of your dies. Switching calibers on the powder drop takes a little more effort than I was...
Arguably, reloading does not make a lot of economical sense if you shoot infrequently with the availability and price of ammo (especially 9mm) falling like it has over the last year. Supply has caught up with demand and it appears the panic of 2013 is over. But, it’s not the price of ammo that...
The Frederick Community College defines a weapon to include BB guns, pellet guns, and blowguns. (Baseball bats, too.)
Weapons Policy and Procedures
Read the whole list. The only thing left off are cars and airplanes, which have both been shown to be used effectively as weapons.
That school...
Ruger (RGR) and Smith & Wesson Holding Company (SWHC) are the only two publicly traded firearm manufacturing stocks. Whether you like one or the other better, S&W is considered the better stock. But I think either did really well, thanks to our dear President.
Gunny, look out. The President...
Sorry in advance if this has already been covered, but I came across the SB281 Fiscal and Policy Note published during the 2013 Session of the Maryland General Assembly.
It actually summarizes the bill fairly well (though not more succinctly). But what it does is provide the fiscal information...
I normally buy from Xtreme Bullets, but came across Rocky Mountain Reloaders. Has anyone used them?
This seems like a crazy good deal for 1,000 mixed and pulled 9mm bullets for $65 shipped. The mix is 115/124 gr bullets that you need to sort or just load all for 124 gr...
Apparently, the company has been around for quite some time and got a notable mention in the book, GLOCK: The New Wave in Combat Handguns by Peter Alan Kasler. That was 23 years ago and they are still in business. Kasler raved about the stuff. Just wondering if anyone here has heard of it or...
I was going to try to sell a Lee Precision Reloading Stand since I got a full size bench and found this in the list of prohibited items:
weapons; firearms/guns and components; BB/pellet, stun, and spear guns; etc
ammunition, clips, cartridges, reloading materials, gunpowder, fireworks...
There's always the risk of being too much in a hurry when trying to put 124 gr through a tiny window at 1000 fps.
This is the riser rod that is used to hold the diffuser.
The rear sensor took a beating, but was OK.
Here is my fix to reduce the impact of a stray hitting the riser...
Anyone have experience with the Hornady Cam-Lock Bullet Puller on pistol ammo? I heard the it doesn't work well with pistol ammo because there's too little of the bullet to grab.
I've recently purchased a Lee Reloading Stand. Quite ingenious for folks with little space. You don't have a lot of surface area, but it's great for mounting presses and is very mobile.
I decided to clean off my work bench and dedicate it for reloading, so I'm selling it local for local...
Some load charts show a starting weight for powder and a max. Is the max equal to +P or is +P more than the max weight?
Edit: To be clear (and as some have guessed) I am trying to avoid excessive loads. I just want to make sure the if I am at the max load (and not more) that I have a margin of...
Willing to buy online if it's out there, but haven't been able to find any. There's plenty of rifle stuff, but virtually no pistol powder.

If you remember, the Bass Pro Shop in Arundel Mills required you to have an HQL just to touch a handgun. Not sure that is still the case or not.
This time, however, I bought some pistol powder for reloading and they had a hand written log where they recorded my name and address. I asked why...
I reloaded according to IMR’s website (actually Hogdon) as follows:
Bullet: 9mm 124 gr Berry’s FMJ
5.3-5.6 gr IMR 800-X powder
CCI 500 primer
1.15” COL
It shoots great. Because it’s flake powder, the powder throws from my Lee Auto Disk tend to be somewhat inconsistent. However, they are...
