      New to Reloading -- Think of purchase? Advice be good.

      If you are just shooting .357 take a look at the Lee single stage presses. Very good for a beginner to start on a single stage and understand how everything is supposed to work and if you have any empty brass in .357 let me know:)

      .22 Pistol

      One that i hardly ever see anyone post anything about is a S&W 22A model. This is a great investment at a good price. very fun to shoot and very reliable. I have put over 7K rounds through mine and done nothing but clean/polish and shoot. comes apart very easy and cleans easily. I have...

      The glock of revolvers

      Cant go wrong with Rugar. Been around for a long time and many options. Personal favorites from them are sp101, gp100, blackhawk, redhawk when someone discusses reliability of a glock. I think of only one thing. The revolver reliability- They have been around for years and years. I can...

      What did you get at the Jan 2014 Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show?

      I got lots and lots of steel targets. Good price and fun to shoot. Once i changed to steel and instant reaction targets my shooting image has changed. I like to hear that gong go off. I like to hear and see the target swing. I like to weld and build things. From the show i got some good...

      Suggestions for a friend

      Others touched on the most important items and I agree completely. First and most important is safety. South side clubs and ranges have great classes for the beginner and the intermediate and advanced. I took advantage of these for my wife a few years ago and well worth it. Sometimes it...

      lots of AMMO for sale

      I don't think the post had to do with anything. I would guess...taking a long shot.. .that he is trying to get his 50 posts so he can buy and sell and trade. Kind of hard coming up with misc. things to post if your really not a talker. Sitting behind the keyboard is one hard way to waste time...

      The Ammo Hoarder Song

      Thanks for the post. I am definitely going to share with my target shooting buddies...if we can find some ammo to shoot. We might just go look at the steel targets and dream of ammo in our hands... guess there is always sling shot ammo laying around the river bed at ample supply! Good luck to...

      22lr ammo

      I heard that there were two new twenty two long rifle manufacturing plants being opened and built in the western states to help with the shortage. Does anyone else know any different or the same thing. I thought i read something in my national rifle association magazine about either federal or...

      Walmart Today

      has anyone noticed that wal mart keeps adding shotgun shells in the case in bigger quantities to make it look like the shelves are full? I would call that false advertisement. From 50 feet away it appears like they might have the caliber I need and then as I get closer and closer the...

      How's Availability Now

      Some of the components for basic pistol reloading are starting to be more and more available. Just being patient and not over paying is the key in this crazy days. Subscribe to midway and they send out some pretty good deals on primers. Ordering from Montana gold in bulk for your bullets is a...

      How's Availability Now

      Unique powder is a great powder (when available) for most calibers. Started out years and years ago being a shotgun powder. Since that time it has evolved to a vary popular pistol powder. I use it in many of my "favorite" loads. Really like it in .40 cal s and w. with 165 or 180 bullet...

      Mother and Daughter did not use Father's pistol to defend themselves.

      Not enough valid information in the post for anyone to post there true beliefs. As long as the bad guy or guys got put behind bars and the innocent people are rest assured in the situation it makes me feel better. The world is just too crazy out there and the bad stuff even happens in areas of...

      Cocked and...Glocked?

      It all boils down to what you are confident and comfortable with. If you think you can pull the slide back in time when your getting robbed? Do what you have to do. If I were you I would do more research and find the kind of gun that has the features that appeal to your type of living...

      New to loading lead

      Everyone has there own preference. I have put over 3000 rounds of lead 180 grain rounds through glock model with no issues. Yes you have to clean your gun. But this is a necessity for all guns. Unique powder and lead in .40 s and w is a great combo. Very accurate and I prefer it. Shoots...

      Value of Reloading?

      I agree with the above posting. Getting your children involved early is a great thing as long as the instructor parent is teaching the safety importance in all aspects and repeating those same things over and over. My 4 year old daughter loves to help. but she helps and understands what is...
