Re: Any gun-related Facebook pages worth looking at?

There's lots of brand-specific pages.

And don't forget the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League / USA Clay Target League.

Re: Reloading in 2020

A lot depends on what you are shooting as well. Try pricing more unusual rounds (like the .50 BMG or some of the african ammo) and in quantity. As to the better shooting ammo- you can find whatever you want out there on the market, but sometimes to get what you want it becomes so prohibitively expe...

Re: Reloading in 2020

How much do those of us that are retired, figure into the cost of our time? I also consider my reloading time, as entertainment and relaxation. Shooting/Reloading are my hobby, that I thoroughly enjoy. I chose reloading, because I needed a hobby that kept my hands busy, and my mind utilized. I know...

Re: Reloading in 2020

Gotta. At your regular hourly rate, how much have your contributions to this thread cost you financially thus far? Has it been worth it? :cogitating: Gotta figure in reading time too :D Of course that's offset by entertainment value. If I've learned anything from this thread, it's that there is no ...

Re: Reloading in 2020

With a progressive press, less than 6 minutes ;) how much was your progressive setup? You have to figure that into your cost, and your tumbler, and media. If you've got $1500 into your setup, and components cost you $0.10 per round, then add $0.05/rd for 30k rounds to break even. I have $240 into m...

Re: Reloading in 2020

Agreed. The hourly rate is sort of a weird argument that often gets applied to reloading, but never to other tasks/chores/hobbies. Most of us don’t get paid for any of the stuff we do outside of our actual jobs, whether it’s cutting grass, cleaning the garage, fixing the dishwasher, getting groceri...

Re: Reloading in 2020

I wish it were that easy. I don't enjoy reloading, and I have lots of other things to do with my time. Unfortunately, I can't buy ammo good enough for what I need it to do from anyone else. True, if you have a specialized need - like extreme accuracy out of a specific firearm, or wildcat loads - th...

Re: Reloading in 2020

I grew up in a reloading household. After I moved out I did my own reloading. I don't bother now. A. It's tedious and time-consuming and really not an enjoyable task for me. Even when paired with watching TV or listening to the radio. It's still dirty, repetitive, etc. B. It's not cost-effective if ...
