Reloading

• Part One
• Part Two
• Part Three

The ammo shortage recently had me checking my storage bins, drawers and shelves out in the garage.

After cleaning, some have suggested using the family oven but others have objected it may shorten the lifetime of the brass.

The cheapest way to get into reloading is the Lee Classic Loader (45 ACP shown here), $26.99 (in 2013) from midwayusa.com.
Be sure to verify the caliber before clicking the purchase button.

If you haven’t been following this blog, the samples seen here are 200 grain LSWC bullets with a proprietary coating in brand new Starline brass.

Revised: 30 January 2014

Bullet quality is determined by many factors, one of which is weight. When all bullets weigh the same, they are more likely to fly to the same point on the 50 yard target. (I’ve written on this topic before here and also here.)

Looks like Christmas!

I’m guarding the clean but wet brass from bombers as it bakes dry in the afternoon Arizona sun.
