My CZ American dangerous game rifle in .375 H&H magnum. My Ruger and S&W .44 MAGs. The 29 ounce S&W is BRUTAL shooting full house magnum loads. Hurts worse that an all steel .454.

How about bullets?

Got a good deal on a Noreen BN308 but it's on a slow boat so I baked some cookies to see what flavor it likes.

Had good luck with Varget ~44gr in a bolt action, so I made up a few to try. Also, I've had some IMR4064 for a long time, finally getting around to trying it. Loaded up some light loads to use for heating up the new barrel. I hear the ~42gr with SMK 175gr BTHP is a pretty sweet load.... we shall see.

I have a bunch of Lake City brass, since it's for a new gas gun that may beat up the brass I didn't want to ding up the good stuff. I hand picked the brass and weight matched it, just because I was bored.

As long as I'm reloading, figured I would show off the crazy cool scale, it's an Ohaus av53n I got from some dude named Heisenberg. it has .05 grain resolution..... it's so sensitive I have to turn off all fans and hold my breath, but it stabilizes very quickly... if you like to try to reload the perfect round, it's awesome!

Seriously, I got it off ebay from a Pharmacy that was upgrading their equipment.

Thats pretty awesome - always wanted to reload, but afraid of turning by barrel into a banana peel

It's not difficult, but it is important to pay attention, and do your homework. It
also helps to have someone around with experience, but not necessary.

I live in the country, so going to the range consists of walking out behind the house, so I shoot quite a lot. If you shoot a lot it's economical, if you just shoot occasionally, it's harder to justify the cost.

I'm reloading .308 for about half the cost of premium cartridges. The 175 gr SMK bthp I just purchased was $300 per 1000, once fired Norma brass is ~ $500 per 1000, primers, ~$30 per 1000, powder, ~ $150 for 6lbs.

Since brass is reused, first 1,000 cartridges costs right at $1.00 each. The next 5,000 (assuming 6x brass use) costs only .50 cents each.

M118LR ammo is ~$1.50 each, if you can find it; the loads above are comparable to the M118LR, for about .60 cents each with the Lake City brass, rather than the Norma brass. The second to fifth reloads of this brass will cost about .45 cents each.

A loading press with die sets will last two lifetimes, but most folks end up with multiple presses and die sets to reload just about anything. Press, die sets, scales, tumblers etc. can be a one time purchase, but most reloaders can't leave well enough alone.

Those all have large magazines, pistol grips and are black. You must be a very scary, dangerous, criminal.
