giantpanda4 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Any idea if this is loaded the same as White Box? Or maybe a little hotter? Or rather is it a plinking load? The price is good, but if it is as light a load as white box, I do will not use it in my Thompsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 just buy Fiocchi or S&B both are low priced when on sale, and both will run flawless... $240 a case or less is what i consider a good deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightguy Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Federal will occasionally have really good rebates where prices drop below 25 cents for factory FMJ.Compound the rebates with ammoseek.com searches.I'm fully stocked up and waiting for my Tommies to get out of BATFE "jail".

giantpanda4 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 My issues are - as I said - my issues! It is under-powered (to me) and the gun (when it gets dirty, especially) jams. Then JimC351 beats me in a steel plate shoot.... must have been the Winchester and dirty gun. Again, YMMV... I am glad it works for you, as it is inexpensive.

Got Uzi Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 My kids prefer when I make their food at home. Nothing better than home cooking LOL Yes I'm referring to reloading, I can load 1,000 for $180 and it takes me roughly 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better than home cooking LOL Yes I'm referring to reloading, I can load 1,000 for $180 and it takes me roughly 1 to 1 1/4 hours.i used to reload everything also....hours of time staring at the wall... i know several guys who enjoy it...i was able to get a awesome load for my .45 goldcup whereas i could shoot a 1-2" group at 25 yards by doing it.... i would rather work overtime at my normal job and buy in bulk when it comes on sale.......my reloader was not a multistage.....it probably took me 8 hours to do 1000 rounds.....your saving $70 per 1000 but you have to factor in your time and the equipment (which im guessing was over $1,000-1500) i was lucky to find a guy to reload .44 mag for me...he would do it for almost nothing...im ammo like .44 mag or 50 AE its a huge difference price wise...for 9mm and .45 not as much so.... to each his own.....for me it was painful, for you its a hobby...

Got Uzi Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have 3 Dillion 550's-one set up in the following-45acp, 9mm, and 38 spcl. The most I have in any of my presses is $600. Factor in the amount I've loaded and saved they have more than paid for themselves. Also take into account the amount I shoot, they have paid for themselves ten fold. I'll load for an hour to save $70 per 1000 rds but that's me. Plus I know what I'm getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnshooter Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) To each their own, but: If I could start now, I'd never get into rifle/pistol reloading. It should be classified as a medical condition.It isn't just the single stage and increasingly expensive progressive press(es), it's all the other things;Pickup/buy/sort/clean brass. Buy tumblers for cleaning brass, then, Ultrasonic, then, back to tumblers with stainless pins.Buy special equipment to process/trim/swage primer pockets on brass. Use it on buckets and buckets and buckets of brass.Buy dozens of sets of dies and caliber conversions for all the calibers you end up shooting. Buy brass for the odd ones no one else seems to shoot.Buy/store endless variations of bullets and powders, many more types of primers.Shoot, chronograph, shoot for groups, adjust loads for precision rifles. Over and over for each rifle you care about.Have a large room to store all this. Spend many, many, many hours at the bench when the time could be spent living, or watching Have Gun Will Travel reruns.Back when there was very little or no decent rifle ammo, it did make some sense to tailor loads. Now, almost everything you need in loaded ammo is on the shelf, cheaper than ever in inflation adjusted dollars.Almost forgot; gather and melt quantities of wheel weights (not happening in todays service stations). Put hundreds of dollars into a lead furnace, gang molds, sizer/luber and dies, lube, and gas checks.Cast tens of thousands of bullets, then size and lube them. Try not to breathe the fumes.Become envious of those who have a single closet full of factory ammo, shoot it, leave the brass for others to scrounge, and go home.Started shotgun reloading when LBJ was president; Dad bought us a Mec 600jr. and the components.Started reloading rifle and pistol when Nixon was president; all purchased with my 85 cents per hour after school job. So, I admit to a few years of attitude development.That's all the PMA for now. I can't stay this cheery all night. Put your money into Thompsons instead.

wwiifirearms Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I reload for competition rifle, but only because it would cost 5 to 10x to buy the same quality ammo, and it still would not be tuned to my gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor, there is little to no precision rifle factory ammo that can match the most careful handloading.You won't find any factory produced, small primer pocket, fire formed, neck turned, etc. loads, tuned for a given rifle -at any price.
