Practically Shooting

Feels Like The First Time!

But it's coming back quickly! Haven't reloaded in going on 10 years for various reasons.

This forum and couple other things have re-kindled my interest in shooting and a safe full of fine firearms. Naturally when brass begins to pile up, I can hear it screaming "LOAD ME! LOAD ME!!"

So, yesterday I hitched up the old RCBS Piggy Back and started dumping 4.5 grains of Red Dot, Winchester WLP primers, and a 200gr flat point lead bullet into 45ACP cases. Makes a really mild load, and when I've used up the 4-500 of those bullets I have on hand, all I'll have to do is substitute 230gr RNL bullets with no other changes, got a thousand or so of them!

How many rounds do yall suppose will be necessary to remove an old stump from the back yard now?

LOL.. Those stumps are devilish critters, I worked on one for a couple years at my dad's once!

BTW... Glad to hear you rekindled your love affair with the ol' one armed bandit!!

I know the feeling. It's been a while since I actually loaded centerfire anything. Having some rifles that require reloading because of lack of factory ammo or ammo being very expensive, I now have started reloading again. My, how componet prices have changed over the years!

I use H414 in my 22-250 improved. I had 8 pounds from the late eighties and paid $32 dollars for the surplus powder. Now, it's $135 for the same stuff. WOW! I guess the surplus is now gone.

Factory ammo for my 8mm mag and 350 Remington mag are now over $70 a box, if you can find them. I have a lot of new unprimed brass for both so reloading is the only answer.
