Reloading ammo

[Chris]

Now that ammo is the price of a new car you might rethink that?

Ammo price s dropping a lot here. Is it still high in Commiefornia?

 

[havasu]

Yes, it is still high priced here. Right now I'm paying $220 for 1000 rounds of 9mm, delivered to the door.

 

[Chris]

I havent bought ammo in a year or two. I need to get out and shoot.

I have not purchased factory ammo in ages . Went to the range last Saturday .

Shot .223 & 9 x 19 mm .

This is a wood tipped Swedish training bullet, 6.5x55 caliber Lapua brass rounds
I pulled the wood, emptied the swede powder, re necked the brass
and reloaded with imr 4895 and hornady 140 grain ballistic tips
3000 rounds

I have some of that practice ammo , but it is loaded with a copper cup . Looks like a gas check seated backwards .

Have you shot any of it yet ? I heard the brass for the practice rounds was the 2nds from the production of " normal " ammo ?

I had thought of loading some with reduced loads & cast bullets .

Best of luck ,

I have been shooting this ammo for 5 years now with no problems what so ever
I have reloaded the brass so far 1 time using Berdan primers
no issues,

 

[Chris]

This winter I plan on setting up my reloading area and trying to learn how to do it. I am sure I will have some questions. I am going to take advantage of living in a place that snows and get some hobbies done.

I don't think you can ship ammo to California any more

oh oh...time to start reloading, pull that handle,!!!!!!!!!
I usually can knock out 100 rounds rifle ammo in a hour and a half

when you get ready to start reloding, be on the look out for an old treadmill
to canablise the parts for a wet tumbler
I made mine for around 40 bucks. store bought will run you 3oo and up
with half the capacity

My son just ordered 20k more 9mm ammo. I get 1k, making my supply up to 8k rounds of 9mm and 4k of .40 cal., and 1k of .223 rounds.

 

[Rusty]

I have about 5,000 rds of 22 LR and probably 1,000 380 and a 1,000 9 mil.

 

[Chris]

I have 12 rounds of .22

 

[odorf]

i dont even know, lol

I do know that I do not like my 50 cal ammo cans, they are heavy as hell when full
I prefer the 30 cal cans

Purchase the Lyman reloading manual and read it cover to cover 2 - 3 times . If you do not plan to load shot shells , you can skip that section .

GOOD Book!!!!!!!!!

I have a digital scale and 2 beam scales
i do not like the digital, my beam scales seem to be way more accurate

 

[WyrTwister]

Buy a Lyman loading manual first & read it 2 - 3 times . Before you buy any thing else .

With rifles you can often produce more accurate ammo than what you have been buying .

I am cheap , also . Almost all the stuff I have bought new is Lee brand . Used stuff , several brands .

You will need space to set stuff up .

Have you been saving empty brass ?

God bless

 

[Chris]

I have been saving all the brass from what I have shot.
