Ammo has doubled in cost around here and is looking scarce in getting more in. I suggest everyone learn to reload and also start thinking outside the box to start making your own ammo with other means you may find around your home or can purchase.

 

Is homeland security agents buying up ammo too, just like ARs? That is what my mind is thinking.

 

Also we must stop letting the word smithers rename rifles etc. They are renaming Firearms with the new name of assault weapons. However, if they own them, they call them tactical weapons or systems. No matter where you hear the new name - assault weapon - (communist tactic) stop it dead in it's tracks right there and explain to whoever you're talking with, whether in face to face or online, and explain why to not use that communist word smithing they are using to set you/us up for failure.

  • Look up RCBS Inc and see what they are offering. They make and sell the good equipment. I used to work for them back in the 60`s and still use the tools to reload.. Also if you get a reloading book it will tell you what you need to do. Had a 270 Rim and with factory rounds it would group 3in at 100 yrds but by working with differant bullets and powder I got the groups down to 3/4in at 100 yds...and you can reload for about 1/2 the price of factory rounds...

  • I personally have never owned an assault weapon.  I have owned several defensive weapons.  I do need to get into re-loading or find someone that does.

    • Steven - You have that right on !!  I ,also, own several defensive weapons. I can only wish that could afford to own an "Assaut Rifle" !  ( I do own a 'tactical' 12 ga. Mossberg 500.) I mean class III wapons cost an arm and leg to purchase and the feeding and care is far beyond my meager fixed income.  I guess I'll have to be satisfied with semi-auto or a 'bumpfire' I can rig myself.

      Pat - I've been reloading since the late 50's ( only way a poor man can afford to shoot centerfire. ) . I have to agree with you that RCBS is good equipment, but then again, so is Lyman and American. And agree with you completely on accuracey.  If you take the time and patients, you can work up some really sweet loads for 'your' particular weapon.

      • All barrels are differant and thats why you need to load for that barrel to get the best groups... It takes time but well worth it in the long run. 1 shot in place of 5 to get a target....

  • The last time I fired a assault weapon was in the Navy and that was a Thompson machine gun... But I just bought a M1 Carbine and now I will have to get bullets and casing and a set of dies for my reloading tool which is a RCBS Jr... Then I can go have fun with it on the range...

    • Same here Pat, but in the Army. And it was my trusty Tommy, in Vietnam in he late 60's. My Signal Unit didn't get any AR's, mainly had M-14's,M-79's and a few WW II era .45's for the officers. ( I got my 'Tommy' from a retiring ARVN NCO that I knew.)

      • Well my time in Vietnam was in 61 and my CO of the team used the AR14 while i used the carbine, he also had a 45 but I didnt, my job was to run the boat to take them in and bring us home... I had just enough training with them to keep us alive when the job required it and to keep the boat ready to run....

    • Good luck with the Carbine, Pat.  A weapon which can be "worked" to perform quite well.

  • Suggest anyone considering to start reloading be trained by someone who has decades of experience and lots of answers; it only takes one very small mistake to cause deadly injuries or totally ruin a good weapon. I would limit myself to several calibers to reduce costs and storage issues. Try to buy a good set with the above mentioned person through a private sale, they may be able to hook you up with such people. Try to buy bulk supplies from a private person, gun show, whatever source, use cash. Do a lot of basic research first so that you know what to expect in tools & supplies required. If you have a long time friend in the tire business, try to pick up a few pounds of tire weights (excellent for casting) each week, put some bills into the staff coffee fund and do not set a routine of this event.

    Word smithing can best be caught by constantly reading the King James Bible, not dummyed down like NIV. Flex your brain. Stop watching TV drivvle, read older books on all topics, especially gardening, DYI and home health.

    • Larry -  Don't make it so scarey. Reloading is fun and relatively safe. There are many books available on the subject. And most sporting outlets ( brick and mortar ) have staff on hand that reload themselves to help the novice along. You do have to be careful when working to a max. load or if you are loading rifle and pistol and have multiple powders out but that just amounts to good house/shop keeping.  Only one caliber reloaded at a time - on the bench at a time,everything else put away.  And just for beginners, I have found that lighter loads ( less than max.) are frequently more consistant and accuate.  Always start with lighter loads !
