Title: new reloading related hobby
Post by: gadabout on September 12 2021 06:42:55 AM MDT
First and foremost I would like to thank the people working on the forum and it seems to be working just fine now for me!!! With no reloading components available I am undertaking a new hobby!! I will be cleaning pull down bullets sent to me by American. I just love the wet tumbling results I get so cleaning pull down bullets seems like a good idea. What's the old saying?? It ain't but something to do!! Craig

That was a short hobby!!! I dug out the 1000 FMJ 115g I got from American and they are fine. Sometimes I get the pull downs with dirt encrusted on the bullets but these were real clean. Oh well!! Craig

I suppose I could deprime and clean brass but why when you can't finish the round??? Craig

Just got back from the range, I shot 9mm with the Gock and the Walther p-38. I had some of the 9mm Hod Universal rounds loaded at 4.5 with a 125g in think bullet and zit was very weak and wouldn't cycle the next round. I had other rounds that shot great in both guns. It was fun all the way around.  I guess I should say the good rounds were 115g v-crown loaded with power pistol 6.3g. It's my "will always work" round.  Craig

I've been de-priming, tumbling & resizing  all my brass. just about everything is ready to load once I get some primers & powder. I have plenty of loaded ammo on hand and a small stash of various primers & powder incase I need to load something I'm running out of.

I'm still OK on components and have plenty loaded up already, but have been shooting 22LR a whole lot more as of late.  Like blaster, all my brass that has been languishing for years is now prepped, ready to go when I shoot up some CF rounds and need to load 'em up again.

Hey all I used to keep a few components on hand to use as needed. Then I got bored looking at the stuff so I loaded it all up. I find loaded rounds shoot better than components anyway!!!!  Ha Ha  Craig
