Yabbut, what would it cost for someone to buy the equipment and
components today, just starting out? Triple or more?

You can start reloading for a $100 bill. Or less if you hunt around
for used powder measure, press, dies and a scale.

People on eBay want more for a used RCBS than they cost new at a local
store ($269). But how about brass, primers, and boolies?

There are people on Ebay who charge more for shipping than the cost of
the item. I avoid them like Leftists. Such people are the scum of
the earth.
Like Leftists. (Grin)

Grok that, and ditto.


Or you can simply buy a hammer and a Lee Loader. While I have good
gear..I have at least 10 Lee Loaders for various cartridges. In
fact..I do most of my .303 British by resizing them in a Lee Loader.
Its easier on the 303 brass when they are truely necksized only (and
with most SMLE rifles..neck size only). If you dont know what neck
sizing is...

I do. (never say that around a woman) This is the first I've heard
about Lee Loaders. Cool tool. They're going for $25-35 on eBay.

Look for them at gun shows. You will often find em for $10. I do
suggest purchasing a used scale and powder measure, but you can indeed
use the little scoops to load them well enough for generic loadings.

I don't think my little 5Kgx1g electronic scale would be sensitive
enough.

It has to do "grains", not grams. Other than that..the small
electronic scales do work well enough.



If you are yard saleing...always keep an eye open for bullet molds,
reloading equipment, powder, primers and bullets. One will
occasionally find such, particularly in yard sales by widows. If you
have the slightest hint/idea that someone in the home was a
shooter/hunter/gun owner...ask if they have any such stuff for sale.
Its surprising how much stuff turns up, that the owner never thought
to sell. Same with guns. A large percentage of my toys came from
such. No sons to inherit, Da's Garand or Mauser has been tucked away
in the back of a closet since the 80s.

I think I've only seen 1 or 2 reloading parts at garbadj sales in 40
years. And the couple sets of reloading stations were eBayleftist
priced, $350-500. I rather doubt I'll get into reloading, but if I
did see a Lee Loader at $10 in a relevant caliber, I might grab it.

A pound of powder, a couple hundred primers, a box or two of bullets
or cast bullets (need cast..simply ask), brass and a Lee Loader will
set you back about $50-65 for a few hundred rounds of ammo. Go to
Wally World and buy 200 rds of say...30-30 or 06 and try to do that
for $65. Try to do that for $100...

Just saying...it can be really really cheap to reload decent ammo.
Given that factory ammo even at Wally World costs at minimum $18-40
for 20 rds of whatever rifle ammo...shrug.

Goodness gracious, Whatever do you want all them there bullets for?

I ask as my granddad had two 20 round boxes in the kitchen drawer that
lasted him 30 years and he shot his deer every fall. You, on the other
hand talk about shooting at a stump and need hundreds of rounds. Quite
obviously you are either a terrible bad shot or you just like to hear
the noise.

I would imagine that a string of Chinese firecrackers would be a far
cheaper noise maker and ought to prove satisfactory to someone that
just wants to go "bang, bang, bang".

Shooting morbidly obese Canadians takes many rounds of ammo just to
bust through the many layers of goop.


Good Gracious! Several rounds to penetrate... What are you using a Red
Rider BB gun?

I think you should fall back on the Chinese firecrackers. The same
penetration ad all that lovely noise.

Gunner is just the deviant and depraved sort of gun owner who has come to dominate the hunting/target shooting/collecting conversation of which I was a part for 50 years. His interest is primarily in fulfilling his fantasy of killing the people he blames for his own failings.

This has become a common type in the gun-owning community. There are plenty of us old-time gun owners left, but we don't yabber about our interests nearly as much. So the Gunners are the noisy face of gun owning in the US.

They are the dirtbag gun nutz. They're where gun ownership, and the legitimate traditions therof, have gone to die.

It is a whole different world :-(

I can remember when "going to the range" was to check out the new
modification to your varmint rifle to see if it would shoot 1/4" inch
groups.

Of course my grandfather who had killed his deer, or maybe more than
his share some years, probably never went to a shooting range in his
life and (depending on how active the game warden was) probably fired
one, or maybe a couple more, rounds a year from his Winchester 38-55.

Now, apparently, "shooting" is about making a lot of noise, thus the
comments about Chinese firecrackers.

You and Fast Eddy sure do make a lot of noise.

Certainly... and, obviously, we hit the target, don't we.

Only if you are tossing **** at each other. Anything else...no...no
you dont.

Nope. We are throwing **** at you.... and you are catching it.

Snicker....your aim is as poor as your intellect. (VBG)

But I guess when one gets old and feeble and has to live on charity
there isn't much else one can do. Is there?

Good question indeed. But given how hard you try to hide...its
unlikely we will ever find out.

Hide? Just like old gumball asche? Certainly.

Using a nym is hiding?

Everyone knows my full name is Mark R Wieber, 326 Olive Ave, Taft,
California.

Certainly "everyone" knows. Since some friendly chap published your
tax records.

So who are you?

\I should hope so. After all when you are outed what else can you do
but sit there with a sickly grin on your face?

But I thought you were bragging about your trip to L.A. and the two
twenty dollar bills you were going to make.?

Forty dollars? For a week's work? Good Lord! That is a dollar an
hour... I haven't worked that cheap since I was 16 years old. I've
heard about penny ante operators but you really take the cake.

$40? I grossed $1600 last week.

I see, you "grossed". What did you take home after taxes? Oh yes, I
forgot, you don't pay taxes do you.

Oh..you were lying again. But hey..thats no surprise, now is it?

Why in the world would anyone bother to tell lies about gunner? All
one has to do is repeat what gunner says and he immediately leaps up
and labels it as a lie.

Strange that, you seem so intent on demonstrating to the world that
you are, in fact, a liar..

What's next? Will you refute the "feeble old man" label by telling us
how you just won the Mr. America contest.
