HELLO is anybody home???
Re: Reloading forum Section
I see the suggestions are like the boxes they used to put out at work a waiste of time. What the heck, I kind of figured that anyway.
Re: Reloading forum Section
I still say it's a good idea. Why don't you send a PM to JimDog.
Re: Reloading forum Section
Would you look at that. I'm anonymous, and it ain't even Wednesday night!!
Re: Reloading forum Section
I do not know who or what JimDog is or what he could do? Is he in charge of checking the suggestion posts?

Big John,
I'm not sure this board needs a reloading/range report section.
Most on here are more interested in meat in the freezer than shaving tenths at the range.
We can brag on the Hunting Lodge thread.

Carrying a gun isn't about killing.
It's about staying alive.

Re: Reloading forum Section
Swamp Fox, I don't care about tenths at the range either however doing better at the range increases your kill ratio and, I have some good knowledge on reloading and would be happy to moderate and forum for reloading. I know what it is like to have a question about reloading with no where to get an answer. I would not tell anyone a BS story in the Reloading forum and if I don't know the answer I know where to look to find the answers.
If this site is strickly a BS site why have all the foums for fishing and hunting?

I reload my riffle myself. I can see how some here could use help. Good Ideal.

Re: Reloading forum Section
John....I've been reloading since the mid-70's, so that accounts for a lot of powder, primers, and bullets. I still do web searches from time to time to find specific information. Hodgdon has probably the best info available, especially if you use their powders. If you are looking strictly at meat in the freezer, any reloading site or any reloading book from a reputable company will do the job.
When you get into shaving tenths of an inch off, you are moving beyond normal reloading practice into the realm of benchloading, along with the precision measuring instruments that go along with that game. I have most ot the precision gear on my loading bench....micrometer, neck turner, chronograph, moly coating for bullets, etc. Most of it never sees the light of day any more. I used to think that I had to have at least one rifle in each caliber, from .224 up through 8mm. What I discovered was that keeping the loads and especially the bullets separated was a nightmare, so now it's back to a couple of smallbores for coyote hunting, a couple of medium bores for deer hunting, and one carbine length .308 for close in hunting in the woods. No more picking up a 7mm-308 by mistake for the .308, or any of several other deadly combinations...that may not be the case for other reloaders, but simplifying things sure has worked for me.
