As some of you know, I recently went with my buddy to shoot a bunch of guns including his Savage Model 12 .223 rifle. It had been a while since I shot a centerfire rifle and it got me thinking that I would not mind having one again. In the past they were always for hunting, which I don't do...

I think we can add life skills, parenting skills, etc. to that list also Skip.

Safety first for sure when it comes to reloading. There is a lot of information out there about people who were not safety minded. I think you will find it challenging and rewarding. It seems to me that reloading is one of those activities where you never stop learning. I like that part of it.

I can't smoke cigars. Strong or weak. Handsome or homely. I cough like a little girl. :'(

As of last year the only forum I had ever even visited was "the other one", which I then joined after I bought SR1911 lottery tickets and then realized I had to join and post to win! Anyway, now I have also joined this one. As for my OP, my comment was not about the Ruger Pistol Forum, but a...

I'll bet if we bad mouth Tula and other steel ammo we can get dave to show up. You go ahead. Say it messed up your gun and you will never use it again. I will sit over here and watch.

You use Tula?!? Just kidding. Couldn't resist. :D

I have considered it but have not tried it yet. My reloading teacher does not cast bullets, although I am sure he could. Right now I have been concentrating on soaking up as much knowledge as he has to give, which is enough to make my brain tired at times. With that said, I have now met another...

In regards to reloading information and data, it seems that some reloading forums are not nearly as vigilant or strict on the information posted. I am not passing judgement, just making an observation. It seems that one of the forums on reloading tends to be relaxed on the posting of the...

I am doing the same thing you are dave, working primarily on one ammo, the 45 acp. I reloaded some 9mm and .380 during the early learing process just to get better acquainted with the steps, but I reload 45's only right now.

They are full metal jacket. I will check on part number when I am home. I agree with you Skip on being extra careful and I am glad you are vigilant on reloading threads. For me personally, in the future I will probably PM somebody with info then they can get as much or as little as they need. I...

Gotta love youtube. That is where I have learned a lot of disassembly and reassembly for my guns.

Sorry, I got off track at some point on this thread and/or was not clear. No. I don't disassemble striker assembly after every time I shoot, but I probably do it more than is needed. Also, how do I know when I have too much lubricity? Is there a measurement or gauge I can buy to check...

Target stand started with two legs that stuck in the ground with sharp stakes. It ended with one leg. We named the target stand Ilene. Get it.....I lean. ::)

Seriously guys.....stop. The Kimber pictures are killing me. ;D

Re: load data for 380 and 9mm I have only reloaded 500 rounds of .380 and I have only shot about 100 of those, but so far zero problems. Here is the recipe I used. I used the Lyman reloading manual and my reloading mentor's big brain and vast experience to arrive at this load. Powder: 1.9 gr...

Yes........severely. :o

Sweet. You're killing me.

It was a great time. My friend has 4 of what I would call infantry guns from the WWII era. He has the MI Garand, Mosin Nagant, Japanese Arisaka, and a German rifle ( I don't recall which one) and he has ammo for all of them. I have only shot the Garand so I think that means we have to go at...

Gotta ask Yogi. Brake cleaner vs. Gun Scrubber. I still can't bring myself to spray the brake cleaner on my gun.
