Excellent Dem-friendly reference source for information on reloading and bullet casting.
I just ran across this looking for some information, and I thought folks here would enjoy it. They have some good YouTube videos and technical discussion about the merits of various means of reloading.

1. pro1000 for 200 not bad...
not a bad price point to start.

I've thought about reloading but haven't because of all the secondary equipment. Reamer,scales,tumbler/ultrasonic, primer ect...not to mention dies.

I've got a few calibers that it would be nice to develop loads for, mainly my son's new 7mm-08 and my new 308.


thanks for the link.

3. Reloading is as bad as getting a C&R license
The first piece of equipment you should buy is that machine that picks you up by the ankles, turns you upside down and shakes all the money out of your pockets, then takes your checkbook and empties it.

They use them at Disneyworld and some malls too.

You can start with a basic Lee Loader for a single caliber for only $25. Then you decide it's kind of fun but you really need a press and a few other dies for different calibers. As long as you're ordering might as well get a box or three of Sierra MatchKings, can't decide on what weight? Get a few of each then. Someday you may buy a 45-70 or 45 -90 so buy the dies now, as long as you;re ordering.

And so it goes until the oldest kid's empty bedroom has a bunch of odd stuff in it and you find yourself reloading for a 120 year old Russian Rifle the Czar himself chose for his troops to shoot rabbits and squirrels for food, since you used all your grocery money on a new bullet lubricator and full length sizing die for some obsolete caliber.

It's a horrible thing to see happen to a neighbor.

10. My old neighbor had a out building dedicated to reloading.
When I lived in WV I didn't know what was in the building until he locked my kitty up in it for 3 days. When I finally found her we went out back and holy cow I couldn't believe how much stuff he had.

4. "Cowboy T" -- as he calls himself -- doesn't sound very liberal to me.

7. snork
Okay, all you women, and all you gay men, you do what you like, because I don't actually care.

Right, now back to guns.



That manifesto?

Where is the commentary on US foreign policy? Tax policy? Regulatory policy? Health care policy?

Where is anything that actually falls under that strange "liberal" rubric in the USofA -- as distinct from the loonytarian party's platform?

6. but what colour pack do you wear on your fanny
while you're doing it? And is it wise to wear body armour ... just in case? What method/materials are best used if you're looking to disable somebody with a shot to the brain?

8. You need to try a little harder.
You have a lot of the right buzz words, but they are not strung together correctly.
