“I’m not set up for reloading, and I admire those who are.”

It’s a nice skill to have. For a while you could save some money doing it. Not so much anymore. I figured it was good to have for when things go sideways. It’s like being able to can food or jerk meat or fix an engine.

We could use it for barter or trade if necessary.

But the best part about it is that you can really dial in a load for each weapon you have. For instance our Kimber 1911s seem to really shoot well with a 210 grain HP over about 4.8 grains of Bullseye. Moves them about 950 FPS and are super accurate.

My .308 bolt gun, a Savage 110, is wicked accurate to 400 yards with the 168 grain Sierra Match King.

So it’s another skill in the bag. And it’s a very “zen” thing to do. It requires patience and focus.

And if you’ve got a pile of 5.56, .45, .44 Mag or Spl, .38 Spl or .357 mag brass laying around I’ll be more than happy to take them off your hands.

LOL.

Thanks for the post, Matt. As usual, it’s excellent.

Best,
