Hey guys,just wondering if you reload your bullets and what size caliber you have, and what bullets you reload with?


Thanks!

I roll my own from .17" all the way up to .458". About 20 calibers in between. I load all kinds for all kinds of different situations. From barnes, to Sierra, to Hornady, to Nosler, to the cheap remington, and then load up cast for my pistols. I may load up match bullets for long range, or barnes for hunting elk in CA. Or partitions for newfoundland moose.

dad and i reload pretty much every center-fire rifle we have. we're starting to reload some pistol and shotguns. its cheaper than going out and buying a new box of ammo and it gives you something to do on a crappy day

I only have 1 centerfire gun I do not load for, my Glock 23. That Glock shoots great with factory stuff, and there are legal reasons to not reload for a defensive weapon. That said, I handload for all of my other gunscalibers .17 through .458.

I load all my rifle ammo 22-250, .257 roberts, 25-06, 30-06,7mm rem mag, and 300 win mag. Noslers, Hornady, Sierra, and Barnes make up the majority of the bullets that I load. I have loaded shells for over twenty years, its one of my favorite things to do.All my equipment is RCBS.
