All Things Guns

Wish you lived closer to me, I got about 300 of 9mm brass I would like reloaded and would pay for the components of it to be. I also have another 150-300 I could go shoot and have more brass.

That's funny. I've enjoyed reloading so much that I've considered blasting through the rest of my brass ammo just to have more to reload. It's just silly since I'm putting more money into it just for the fun of reloading.

I'll just stick to buying more brass to reload instead of running through stock for the build.

To be totally honest though, reloading is pretty straight forward. But it's like anything, start up cost takes it out of you. It took about 6mo of finding bullet components, dies, equipment, etc. before I was actually ready to start production. Armslist has been a big help.

But hey, save your brass if you don't already. I can buy it from you or someone else may be interested as well. You can sell it on armslist. Around here, pistol casings go for $6/100 and rifle (.223) casings are $10/100.

I save all my brass that I can (mostly my 9mm and 357 mag brass). The 357 is easier since the revolver doesn't eject the brass until I want it to.

:thumbup:
 
These 250 rounds are for my buddy. He supplied me with his own spent brass and used wheel weights. I told him I would charge him cost for reloading his ammo.

What do you use the wheel weights for?
 
I use cheap ammo for sighting in my 9mm, .45, & .357, but carry with nothing but hollow points. Am I wrong? Are the balistics that much different? should I be target shooting with the hollows since that's what will be loaded if the need arises?

Older wheel weights are lead and you can melt it down and cast bullets. I got luck and everybody at work saves all the chunks from our lead hammers.
What he said. I smelt it down, clean off the steel and other junk, pour it into cupcake pans for inguts and then use the inguts in my production pot.

Figure out where they hit...probably not a lot of difference. Definitely not going to be different enough to matter inside of 15' on a target the size of a dinner plate.
 
Like a dumbass, I didn't do any testing on my handloads for the .40. Paul tested out some from his 250rds and said his Ruger SR40C and Smith & Wesson SD40VE had zero issues. I'm glad my recipe was good and I didn't have to pull apart 700 bullets.

Next time, I'm testing.
 
I didn't even know Beretta had gone into the polymer market. Kudos to them! And for what I think of when I think of a Beretta (92FS), they're just ugly. Not bad guns at all by reputation. They've gotten stellar marks from a number of LEOs and organizations.

Hopefully that little guy sticks around. I think they deserve their portion of the market. They've earned it.
 
Whats up with 9mm?

One of my employees just got a new pistol in nine and was bummed he couldnt find ammo for it


I always have stock so i gave him a couple boxes.

He was surprised and more than delighted to say the least
 
Since I've gotten into reloading, I haven't been looking for ammo much at the stores. I've heard that Gander Mtn has a good deal on 9mm in the ammo can. Can't remember for sure what the price was.
 
people are still buying it all out. A coworker who works 3rd said he knows when the shipments come in at the gander and cabelas by me and he runs for me if I need anything.

That does sound pretty sweet!
