fine. Feel free to pay over a dollar a round for 9 mm. :roll: When some of you folks get a few years older, you will, (hopefully), realize you have been had by your government. Call me a conspiracy theriost, but, check back in two to three years and make that same claim. Don't say we never...

wow. These responses are the same reason I am abandoning a similarly named forum. Folks, get a grip...you rights are gone. The 2nd A is toast. I cannot buy online 38 special 158g practice ammo. DUH! It's been a year and they don't even SELL it anymore! Later folks, this is the wrong community...

I have noticed a reduction in availability in ammo during the last year. I am surprised you did not notice a reduction in availability. Strange indeed. :roll: What could it be?!?!?!? :shock:

okay. :? I'm an idiot. Wrong forum. Check this out folks as tell me this is normal operating status..... http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ProductListing.aspx?catid=644 Done. :roll:

Are they still selling ammo? Did they get booted out? I can't seem to find any real American made ammo anymore...for popular 38 special, 357 9mm etc Did the the govt action work?

Lee Classic Breech Lock press. Love the quick change dies. Pretty nice quality, too. v=grw1zZIZeZs Justcan't get that video to display!!!! :evil:

I deprime first, that way I get cleaner primer pockets for reload. NOTE: I deprime ONLY as a first step. I don't resize until AFTER cleaning. In other words, I have a dedicated de-prime die for just that single purpose.

I've ordered about 5,000 cases and guess I am good for my lifetime. Assuming I can reload my pistol/revolver brass 8 times, that's 40,000 rounds :)

I like the heavier contrstuction. I wore out one of their all aluminum presses early on. If you plan on reloading a while, take it up a notch. :) You can see my video below link: Lee Classic Cast Breechlock Press - YouTube grw1zZIZeZs Hope this helps!

I agree totally! The Lee factory crimp die is great for crimping but since I have followed good reloading practices, I don't need the die to resize my case AFTER I have seated the bullet!!!!!! Check out my video here...

I picked up some AA #5, #7 and #9 I plan on using the #5 for 9mm and 38 special and the 7 and 9 for 357 magnum. #7 for plinking and #9 for slow burn magnum loads.... I didn't pickup the #2 powder as I thought it a little too fast for my calibers.....

Independence Ammunition, I believe.

I definately prep new or virgin brass! If you don't size new brass it will be too short and have not enough neck tension. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUjBSbEopV_-TazfsEvc8eBw&feature=player_detailpage&v=NBUyMruT8zE#t=183s
