My goal is to support the shooting sports by getting shooters more interested in
reloading, and getting them to spend more time shooting. Hopefully, that will get them motivated enough to preserve our sport. You'll find my contact information on the
bottom of every page of this website. It's too bad that so many Americans have been "conditioned" by watching anti-gun propaganda on TV. That
has made too many of Americans willing to sit by and surrender our gun rights. I'm available to help shooters (mainly by email), and you don't need to be
one of my customers to get technical support. I believe that only the most motivated shooters will ever get involved to protect our right to keep and bear arms.
Most of us have encountered unusual problems while reloading. Have you ever wondered "What the heck caused this?"
(or) Have you ever wondered why your handloads don't deliver better accuracy than factory loads? While reloading (for the last 40 years), I've
encountered some of the most unusual problems that you can imagine.
The first step in reloading is to be SURE that your reloading information is 100% accurate. The Internet is a great source
of information. However, there is no substitute for using published reloading manuals. In fact, I recommend owning at least 2 or 3 different reloading manuals
for reference material. Some manuals are much better than others at explaining the basics. Other manuals include articles about the latest reloading
tools and reloading techniques. Sometimes the load information will conflict with other manuals. For those shooters that read these manuals carefully, you
can usually understand why these variations occur. Reloading manuals usually list the barrel length on their test guns. They also use components
made by a variety of different manufacturers.
Internet forums allow you to ask questions to other shooters who "may" have more reloading experience in some area. You can learn
a lot from other shooters, but be sure to accept information (as fact) only from someone that actually knows what they're talking about. There's no doubt
that reloading forums are a great source of information, but be careful. Most shooters are willing to help any way they can. However, it's easy
to find well-intentioned shooters that pass on their mistakes. Sometimes, it's like watching a manure spreader in a windstorm. Some reloading problems
are almost impossible to fully describe on an Internet forum, because of one small piece of critical information that may not be completely explained. Always verify new
reloading information with a published manual whenever possible.
What the heck happened here?
