I use the Dillon spray lube which is basically alcohol and lanolin. Because I reload in bulk what I do is put the brass in a plastic bin, put some nitrile gloves on my hands, spray the lube on the...

I read a few reloading manuals and magazine articles, but watching a lot of Youtube really helped me understand what was going on and how everything worked. I probably watched reloading YT vids for...

I didn't have much money when I started and didn't know if I was going to like reloading so I started with a $30 Lee Hand Press, a $20 Lee perfect powder measure and a few other bits and bobs.

It...

Because once I buy all the bits for the Wilson, it's really not that much of a step up to spend more for the Giraud and just get it done and over with. Right now for instance I've got thousands of...

One of the rounds that works well for new shooters to centerfire rifles is a 150g FMJ 300 BO. Very pleasant to shoot.

223 while pretty much the same decibel level I'm guessing, I have found...

On my property I can't typically see much more than 100 yards due to all the trees, so for practical size and weight constraints, the 300 BO AR is more handy and convenient than my 308 rifles and...

I looked at it this morning. Looks like a quality piece of kit. However once you buy all the stuff it's probably getting into the realm of just getting one of the fancy Giraud trimmers everyone...

300 Blackout is still developing along as people figure out ways to maximize it, better bullets, powders, more development and testing etc. Having reloaded 300 BO for almost 10 years, the level of...

The worlds finest trimmers work OK but their customer service sucks and they can be hard going on your fingers.

I tried the Frankford Arsenal trimmer and that worked fine with some 7.5 Swiss but...

H110 I found really only likes fast supersonic loads with light bullets in the 110-120g range. I found it very inconsistent with heavier bullets and it's a powder that like in 357 Magnum, it likes...

I think it all depends for me what powder I am using and whether it's pistol or rifle and how close I am to published max loads. I have a lot of reloading manuals so I cross reference everything and...

Don't forget we have now also adopted 338 Norma Magnum and the special operations command has adopted 6mm ARC. Plus they are working on a new 6.8 or 6.5 cartridge for the M4 service rifle and M249...

I have an RCBS Rock Chucker and it's fine but next press will be the Redding T-7.

Sierra Bullets ran a million rounds through a Redding T-7 and had it checked and zero run out or slop, as good as...

I've never seen that issue myself and I usually tumble for two hours. I could see though for something like 6.5 Creed where people have nicely prepped their brass where that might happen.

Each method has it's flip side and ultrasonic doesn't agitate like a tumbler, so the ultrasonic seems to break the dirt loose but then you have to wipe it all down. I'd say after an ultrasonic bath...

I do it often and yeah it works but usually the primer pockets are not as clean.

My recipe is some Hornady case cleaning solution, some Lemishine(citric acid) and distilled water. Works great.

We're not dumb, as you say we see what goes on elsewhere. New Zealand certainly changed for the worse. Americans compromised on some big gun bills in the past, the 1934 NFA, the 1968 GCA, the 1989...

I went to a gun store for the first time in months just for a bit of fun yesterday. They had lots of hunting rifles but limited amounts of AR type rifles. They also had a Grand Power Stribog and CZ...

I often find European primers are a tighter fit than American made primers. Why that is, don't know.

I started simple with a Lee Hand Press. I figured for the $30 it cost me on sale that I could get a taste for reloading and then expand as needed, which I did over time. Eventually when you learn...

I have a Hornady ultrasonic. Works fine but because you don't have the case agitation you might have with a tumbler, cases are not as shiny bright. Main reason I don't use mine as much these days...

It's really not that bad. I remember when I was a totally newbie back seven years ago and I made a few goofs but overall reloading is really not that hard IMO.

Youtube doesn't like gun vids and...

I was also going to add I have one of those old heavy as a club 4 D cell cop style Maglites and there are LED upgrade kits for those.

I remember when I bought that light back in 2004 and thought...

I have a Surefire which has been reliable for about five years now. I think it's the 6px model, not sure. The current model I think is the G2X or something. Thing I like with the Surefire is the...
