Who are the handloaders? (metalic cartridge)

[Tomkat]

Who makes their own? What press do you have?

[JGUN]

My dad has loaded for years but myself I've just started doing more in the last couple years. We just use a rcbs rock chucker. I load for my .45 acp, 7-30 waters, 7-08 and .300 weatherby. Factory ammo has gotten ridiculously expensive lately. $80-100 bucks for the .300wby

[Tomkat]

I also use a Rockchucker. Been doing if for about 10 years.

[Tomkat]

So its just me and Jgun....

[DeadEye_Dan]

I load for my bolt guns and single shots...and don't shoot them much anymore.


I load 100 shotgun shells for every metallic case.

[Tomkat]

Dan do you have a place you can shoot rifles?

[DeadEye_Dan]

Only out to 500

[Tomkat]

What do you shoot out to 500?

[DeadEye_Dan]

.223, .308, 7mm, .300Wby, & .338UM

[jehler]

Jgun is going to have a range out to 800, will be done in 2007....hurry up j!

[DeadEye_Dan]

There's a range in N IN that runs out to 1k, want to go down there some day.

[Tomkat]

440 is the longest formal range I ever shot at but longer in the field m

I use the old Lyman press that I bought in the late 70's.
So I guess I've been handloading for three decades now.

You're practically an Amish hand loader.

[HighDesertDuck]

I have been reloading .45 ACP for about five years now. I reload on a Dillion 450.

I've reloaded a little rifle on my buddy's rock crusher. Seemed to work out pretty well and got my 30-06 out to a 1000 yards. Now I have to go get my own so I can reload for 30-06, .308 Win, and .32 Winchester Special.

I use one of those little Lee hand loaders to load for my 30-40 Krag. I use an electronic scale to keep the loads the same within reason. 220 gr round nose soft point at 2,000 fps is the design criteria. Works great and pretty accurate. I only shoot paper with it. Got it because I've always wanted a Krag.
