    Looking to gain a new skill in reloading ammo. Saving money? Is it a bad idea to buy fired brass?

    I'll second this. I spent A LOT of time setting up my Dillon. I constantly had YouTube going on my phone at the bench getting things right. I read through the ABCs of Reloading twice before I even thought about starting a session. I do about 150 rounds of 9mm in an hour but I am slow and...

    How to work up test loads?

    Again thank you all for the responses. I went out this afternoon to start my test loads. After resetting the seating die to 1.132 and getting consistent OAL, of the 10 dummy rounds I made 7 will case gauge and 3 will not. However, all 10 will plunk and turn freely in the barrels of the 4 guns...

    How to work up test loads?

    Now that I have the 650 producing dummy rounds consistently, and our gun club reopened, I want to work up test loads. I will be using RMR 115gr over HP-38 at 1.1" COL. Per the Hodgdon load data, I'm going to start with 4.3gr and work up to 4.7gr. My question is, how many test loads should I...

    Odds are, you're too late.......

    I just got into reloading and haven't actually loaded a round yet( I'll take the newbie pass). I have just under 1500 rounds of factory ammo, 1# of HP-38, 1000 SPP, and 1000 RMR 9MM FMJ. I ordered another 1000 RMR FMJ (I appreciate the communication from RMR the past day or so), picked up...

    Reloading Goals 2020

    1. Finish setting up the dies on the 650. I have consistent COL but the dummy rounds aren't fitting the case gauge. With family in town I haven't had time to focus on the taper die. 2. Start reloading.

    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    I thought I read in one of the threads that we should put our THR username in the comments box when ordering with the discount code.

    Yes, the sons will have to play a part in this. The high volume is when all 5 of us go to the range together. When it's just 2 of us, we focus more on accuracy than blasting.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. Priority number 1 is being safe and staying within the load data.

    New to Reloading

    All, I'm new to reloading - bench isn't even set up yet. Background: Our family shoots together (me, wife, 2 adult sons, and the oldest son's girlfriend). We're members of a gun club and try to get out 2-3 times a month. If all of us go we run through about 1,500 rounds in a session; if only...
