Summary: TweetWhile in Colorado I am running reruns but the intros are new only the body of the show is from the archives. This one goes all the way back to Episode 75. Today I took a shot at a show on reloading. It may be a bit fragmented as discussion a detailed process with out video or images is difficult, but many have asked for a reloading show so we now have one. Tune in today to hear… The basic process of reloading Why custom ammo is more accurate and what custom means to a reloader How you can load rounds and combination of components you can’t get from Why reloading saves money Thoughts on not over doing your fist purchases How powder is measured by volume and checked by a scale The importance of origination and a system for safety Recommended manuals that give easy to understand instructions and good data My recommendation on the Lee Anniversary Kit as a starter Choosing a single stage press when you start out Thoughts on a progressive press for high volume loading The survival value of reloading A bit on casting your own bullets The value of “reduced loads” Load Data for my Reduced 44 Special Load (From the Lee Manual – First Edition, Do NOT reduce further) This is a 44 Special Load from an older Lee Manual. Do NOT reduce any further! 300 Grain Lead Bullet Standard Large Pistol Primer 9.8-11.5 grains of H227 I settled on an even 10 Grains of Powder. In a 20 Inch barreled 1894 Marlin 44 Magnum it is quieter then most Break Barrel Pellet guns and will penetrate 7 inches of solid pressure treated lumber at 25 yards and is accurate to about 50 yards before the low velocity takes over and drop becomes extreme. Similar loads should be possible for rounds like, 357 Mag – Try light 38 Spc Loads 45 Colt – Try Cowboy Action Loads to start out Resources for today’s show… The Year 1222 Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom Shop for TSP Silver TSP Gear PermaEthos.com Sawtooth Tactical – (sponsor of the day) Ready Made Resources – (sponsor of the day) Lee Reloading Tools Lee Anniversary Kit The Lee Loader Lee Videos on Reloading – GREAT RESOURCE RCBS – Good Videos on this Site Too MEC Hornady Lyman Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
