total beginner
 

I would like to start reloading. I have read that you can customize rounds for higher velocity or heavier bullets. That might be interesting, and helpful for hunting if I can make a gun more accurate.
How does one go about starting to reload ammo?

Well here is a old one really old and the OP may be waiting for more answers since he did at one time only have 2.


:D Al

Why would you bring a thread up that has been dead for 14 years for Pete's sake?! The OP hasn't even logged on the site since early in 2003. It's bad enough that newbies bring up old junk out of the archives, so we sure don't need an old timer doing it! :rolleye0011:

Just a thought but, the Mod's might want to think about a time limit on archived threads. After X amount of time, switch them over to "read only" status.
:)

That would certainly be a step in the right direction and I'd suggest a two year max on bringing threads back up live!

There are forums out there in which, if someone necro posts, EVEN IF IT IS RELEVANT, the mods create a new thread for the new content, and lock the old thread.

I'm probably one of folks who is most annoyed by necro posting - even with relevant content, going back more than a few months, or even a few weeks, is just silly.

We have sub-forums in which necro-posting CAN make sense here - i.e. the predator hunting reference section, or the gunsmithing projects section, both of which make sense to allow additional contributions over time, even long periods of time, or allow additional questions to the same REFERENCE TOPIC or project, but that's a very unique case.

It's one thing if the OP is still an active user, or if the time is not relevant (like asking questions about a gunsmithing project), but when the OP here hasn't been active in 14 years, this is just dumb.

Just why I did it I was griping about the 10ga thread and was told there was good information in it.


I even commented that any one could look up the information by doing a simple search and I felt I was bascily booed down.
So I bring this one up due to the lack of information for those that like these antique threads. For any one else who wants to get into reloading.


So I guess from what I am seeing people like these old threads to be brought back up.


It is about like what rifle should I buy. There are a bunch of those here too. May be we could go thru all the old threads and get all the what rifle should I buy in a huge group for those who find those types of threads informative. then make stickys for each one.


:D Al

Or maybe find something worth gripping about and put you energy in that instead of bring up an old useless thread as opposed to an old thread that at least had some info in it

I don't know how you can say that because as you can see from the responses here EVERYONE posting here doesn't want them brought back up!

then why post on every old revived thread?
RR

How can you say this thread has no useful information?
Only 2 people posted and one was deleted there was still a little information.


I agree with what RR said why do you all post on old threads that are brought up if you don't like them?




:D Al

My thought to RR's legitimate question - why respond to cast scorn on those who necropost?

As a guy who also has a gross disdain for necroposting...

If my dog pisses on the floor, I'm prone to let him know I don't approve, every time.

If my son tries to stick his finger in an electrical outlet, I'm prone to let him know I don't approve, every time.

If someone drives too fast down the lane road beside our church playground during Sunday school, I'm prone to let them know I don't approve, every time.

If someone necroposts...

I agree. I think threads that haven't had a new post in 5 years should be made read-only and dropped in an archive or something. If its relevant and has value, it should either have been made a sticky or still be somewhat active. On other forums, I've seen some humorous threads that get an annual bump for kicks and giggles, and I'm OK with that. Dragging up a fossil that literally has no real content in it at all is just silly, and I'm not sure I get the point that's trying to be made by it.

Very simple! It's because it had no value at all with only one post listing a few pieces of equipment and one that was deleted, LOL! Read what NoMercy stated and multiply it by 2, LOL! Old threads are just that and the one you revived was 15 years old and the OP hasn't been on the site in well over a decade. Your post didn't say a thing in it that was useful when you brought it up, so please don't do it any more, as the newbies are bad enough when they do it!
