I found some shot hulls that I primed and prepped a few months back. Unfortunately, I didn't label whether they were 209A or 209M primers. While I THINK I know which one they are...I don't KNOW what they are. This means I get re-de-prime then reprime these hulls then have 100 new muzzleloader...

I was I two separate stores this week amd saw clays and international in stock. Both stores had 4-5 1-lb jugs. This os the first I have seen in stock since the fire in their factory fire. I had notheard them being back making powder. I assume this means their factory is running again...

I stopped squirrel hunting several years ago because my wife won't eat it and dislikes the smell so much she won't even let me cook it in the house. This means I have to grill it. If you can get grilled squirrel off the bone, it is the best substitute for dental floss on the planet. In...

I used a lane hand loader to make my first shotshells tonight. My goal is to teach my son to hunt tree rats and season opens saturday here. I was a little tight on the deadline. After a few threads here on THR and a little pain finding the exact components for a recipie I finally got to...

I want to teach my 9-year-old to hunt this summer (probably squirrel). I bought a single shot 20-ga, but it kicks way too hard for him. he can handle the 410, but he still flinches. I have never reloaded shot shells before. I have done research on the wood-washer-nail-metal-dowel rod...

I have never loaded shot shells before. This weekend was my first time researcHing reloads for shotguns. One thing that struck me odd is that 12, 20 and 410 all seem to take different powders. I was surprised that the 410 powders seem to be the same ones used for handgun magnum loads (h110...

This ammo craziness has gotten me thinking about a 22 cal air rifle for small game, plinking and varmint control. How do the ballistics of high-quality 22-cal pellets at 1200 fps compare to 22lr-sv? I did a search on this a couple days ago and didn't find what I was looking for. If there...

With component shortages I had to purchase some new powders that I hadn't tried before. This took me to Alliant and hodgons website to look for new recipes. I tried to cycle them thru my semi and had 8 of 10 fte. One of the two that ejected failed to feed. My dad pulled his loading book...
