Any reloaders or gun guys or gals here ?

Went by wondering WTF a reloader is and saw this. Might want to choose a different pic for this because it's not American or 2nd amendment, it's Ghost In The Shell cosplay. It's a Japanese anime fangirl pic. Also the whole babes with assault weapons is Legion's shtick, I'd avoid it

Hot women in costume and fully automatic weapons are a wonderful combo .the thread is not just for re-loaders but gun people in general .
I hope you learn or get something from the thread and find something of interest to you.

Today I went shooting at the Policeman's hall of fame range in Titusville Fl. its a nice indoor range .

I only shot 4 guns . my main reason for going was to sight in a sub 2000 that the front sight had come loose on , and to try out some 9 mm 147 grain ammo I had just loaded up to see how they worked . Its a 1000 round batch I made for my glocks.
They shot point of aim in my carry gun a glock 26 and slightly high in my glock 34. they shot very small groups in my long slide glock but kept stove piping and I dint have the silencer attached .

the sub 2000 shot great but I only use 115 grin in it , the sights has to be adjusted all the way to the left to hit dead center so Im gong tomhave to take them off and twist thm a bit to the left to get them to hit dead center when the post is centered.
After that I stopped at the old Florida oyster bar and grill in Cocoa fl. on us 1 and had a bucket of lightly steamed oyster, they were very good for farmed raised from Virginia .

I know a few reloaders. I'd like to be one myself. What i'm hearing is that primers are very hard to come by. I'd like to learn how to make the primers.

I really doubt, even if I could, I'd make primers. The powder in primers is far more combustible than regular gun powders. It can explode with mere pressure, so crimping it would scare the shit out of me personally.
I'd have to research how they are made and the safety precautions needed to produce them, if I were in the need. I bough primers in bulk a few years ago before they became scarce. I have boxes of small and large pistol primers as well as for center fire rifle.

Making primers is something no one I have ever heard of doing , it requires specialized eqt .
Reloading its self is not hard but its the learning thats difficult , there are a lot of thing to take i n to consideration to make a round that is safe and accurate.
best to have someone with some experience help you with deciding the type of eqt you need .
Also make no mistake it can be a very expensive hobby . its very easy to invest sever thousand dollars in eqt powders bullets and primers and cases .
I normally try to keep at least 10,000 small pistol primers and the same for small rifle then you have magnum primers and large rifle that I stock , there are others also. I keep around 1200.00 dollars in primers stocked alone.

Do you use a progressive reloader for your pistol cartridges? A few of the regulars at my club use a Dillon reloader, not just for handgun, but also for their rifles. They claim they are very consistent.
There are also other brands on the market that claim similar results, but I don't shoot enough anymore to "take the plunge" for a progressive reloader. I have a turret press I use for handgun loads and use a single stage for my rifle cartridges. I also have a set of "manual" sizing dies for our rifles/handguns (talk about work!), but have graduated to the press sizers. The bullet lube/sizer press for cast bullets is also a single stage press. Years back, my father and I built an exhaust fan system in his basement and we went nuts casting .38, .45 and .30 cal. bullets and ingots. I think we melted nearly 100 lbs. of lead the last time and I still have probably 1000+ pre-lubed bullets ready to load, and about 50+ 2 lb. ingots of lead.
I have an old shotgun press too, but haven't fired a shotgun in a few years. I still have boxes of loads for the 1100 Special Field (various shot sizes) and a few boxes of 3" mag. for the goose gun (30' barrel).

I really prefer the single stage for high end accuracy ammo.
I have never cast my own bullets . There is a company called space coast bullets near me who make a fine cast lead bullet and its fairly priced.
I do buy a lot of fmj bullets also but on line and recently ordered some dg 9 mm bullets.

I have been experiencing people who know I reload asking me about ammo, I do indeed have it and its for my use .


Sorry but with a pandemic , Liberals rioting and the possibility of Blow hole Joe getting elected if you were not smart enough to stock up on ammo or reloading supply to bad so sad, only one buddy gets access to my stash and even then its limited, now he wants to learn to reload .

Teach him, then he can reload for you too!

No, that image is actually what I choose to carry from. The pacifier is so leftist scum can shove it up their ass.

After you've done it first?

My usual carry is a S&W M&P .45 Shield, but I have a guns in each car and around the house. No lipstick, pacifiers or hair spray.


I've seen your avatar before. Some gay guy on another forum. I thought he was a woman the first six months or so I was there.

 

[Bulletbob]

Yes I was 9n that forum and it was a guy very very liberal poster by the way.
I left that forum by the way because of the support a anti American pro commie was getting from the mods.

 

[Bulletbob]

I am going to teach him but i prefer to load for myself .
I dont shoot all that much anymore due to health issue , but I do keep a large supply of loaded ammo on hand around 10000 rounds excluding around 2000 rounds of factory 9 mm and 22 sub sonic for my suppressors.
I also keep a good stock of brass bullets powders and primers on hand so I can load thousands more if needed

The only thing I reload is black powder. I have a few pistols. My favorite is a Walker Colt replica. For hunting a .50 Hawkins and a .50 CVA Wolf stainless (and scope because my eyes aren't so good anymore). Haven't even fired the Wolf yet since it's a fairly recent purchase.

My little collection of Colt replicas:

I wrote this to my nephew who was having some problems at the time. I edited out the first paragraph:

Not sure if you like history, but I’m a big fan of military history and recently listened to an excellent audiobook by S.C. Gwynne titled “Empire of the Summer Moon” about the Comanches who commanded half of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and parts of Colorado for a few hundred years. (see map.) It was a very indepth book which also paralled Texas history since both Comanche history and Texas history are strongly linked.

One part of it followed the formation of the Texas Rangers. Long story short, the Comanches were the world’s finest light horse calvary. They did everything on horseback. Comanche kids learned to ride at age six and had their own horse by 12. Other Indian tribes only had a few horses and most women walked. Not so with Comanches where everyone rode. It wasn’t unusual for a Comanche man and wife to own 300 horses. The entire tribe could have thousands. Raiding was their way of life. To fight these raids, which often took place at night under a “Comanche Moon” (a summer full moon), the Texas Rangers were formed. The Rangers were a mangy bunch, losely structured of mostly young men in their twenties looking for adventure. They were armed with a musket pistol or two and a Kentucky long rifle. Comparitively, the Comanche warriors were armed with a bow and arrow, a 14 foot lance and a round buffalo hide shield that was so tough it was actually bullet proof against musket balls. Those old westerns where indians are leaning over and under the neck of their horse firing arrows? That’s true and Comanches would do it using the horse as a shield while they got off 5 arrows in the time it took a Texan to load, aim and shoot one Kentucky rifle.

Up to that point in history, all indian tribes , except Comanches, and Europeans/Texans would ride to battle on their horses, stop and leave their horses under guard while they advanced to attack on foot. Shooting a Kentucky rifle from horseback was difficult and even harder to reload. The Comanches recognized this tactic and simply road around them to attack the horse guard(s) and steal the horses. Stranded, the horseless Texans often died from being stranded a hundred miles or more in the middle of nowhere. One famous Texas Ranger, John Coffee “Jack” Hays (about age 23), recognized the danger of leaving their horses behind, and chose to use hit’n’run tactics against the Comanches on horse back. Due to the difficulty of reloading their muskets on horse back, one fast pass at a group of Comanches was all they could do.

Meanwhile, back East, a young man named Samuel Colt had developed a 5-shot repeating pistol and tried to sell it to the US Army. It was a .36 caliber pistol which couldn’t be reloaded very easily. Since the Army fought dismounted like most everyone else, they effectively told Colt “WTF would we do with this?” and passed on the invention. Colt eventually sold 1000 of the pistols to the Texas Navy (only God knows why the Texas Navy bought them) but then went out of business losing his machinery but retaining his patents. A few years later Sam Houston dissolved the Texas Navy and the pistols went into storage. It was then that John Hays heard about those pistols and knew he could do something with them. He talked to Houston and was given several of the pistols for him men. Now, armed with a couple repeating pistols each, the Texas Rangers could make a couple of passes on horseback against the Comanches to devastating effect. The Comanches started avoiding the Texas Rangers. Among the men under Hays was another young man, Sam Walker. A few years later in the mid-1840s Walker was in the Northeast for the nation of Texas. Meanwhile, the US Army had seen the superiority of the Texas Ranger horseback tactics and approached Sam Colt with an order for new pistols. Since Colt only had his patents and nothing else, he had to start from scratch. He contacted Walker and asked him for advice on making the new pistol. Walker had lots of advice and, effectively told him “Make it a bigger fucking gun!” The .36 ball was too small so Colt made it a .44. Walker also told him to make it more powerful so the revolver held 60 grains of power in each chamber, twice what was normal for a blackpowder pistol. The pistol also had to be reloadable in the field so a reloading lever was attached to the pistol. The new pistol was heavy at about 5 pounds but had a 100 yard effective range. It was ready for both the US Army and the Texas Rangers by 1847 and the used effectively in attacking the Comanches. Admiring their tactics and effectiveness, when the Mexican-American War started, the US Army asked Walker and his Rangers to joined them, which they did with brutal efficiency. Unfortunately, Walker was killed in Mexico in 1847 but his name lives on in the Walker Colt. Sam Colt went on to invent the Single Action Army, Colt Peacemaker and one of the richest men in America thanks to the Texas Rangers.
