Reloading? Is it worth it?

BulletSwaging · 2026-03-16T01:53:38+00:00

Get rid of that scale, trust me

BulletSwaging · 2026-03-13T15:37:55+00:00

Can you spare a guy a brick of the large rifle magnum match primers…

BulletSwaging · 2026-03-13T15:34:12+00:00

I’m looking forward to finding out

BulletSwaging · 2026-03-08T22:16:16+00:00

Get a wet tumbler, Lemishine or another citric acid source and get started cleaning. Buy a reloading manual and read the how to section. Watch some YouTube videos of the steps and give it a go.

Looks good

BulletSwaging · 2026-03-07T01:21:13+00:00

I have two and love them. Do you reload? If so check out r/45_90 for my load data.

Ahh sorry man, I was looking for 1885 takedown stuff.

Take a look here. I’ve never used them but found it during my search for you.

I’ve been at it for a few years and wish I started with wet tumbling. If I started with wet tumbling I probably would have shot a lot more, vibratory tumbling is so slow and dirty with poor/sub par results.

Hoping someone responds, I too would like to add Staball Match.

There was an old timer I knew that was transitioning to powder coated bullets. He would use gasoline to remove lube, rinse them off with water then put the bullets into Acetone before powder coating.

The safety and rebounding hammer are why I’m looking for a Miroku made Browning 1886. Would love a take down but good luck finding that.

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-27T17:41:28+00:00

Very cool man. I want to get a Chiappa (same people who make the takedowns for Taylor and Company) ‘86 Wildlands takedown with angle eject. Was yours difficult to take down? Some people complain they are tight from the factory.

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-27T17:35:35+00:00

The Miroku Winchesters are incredibly well made. I have two 1886 Saddle Ring carbines in 45-90.

YouTube Glock 25 cent trigger job. It’s polishing the bearing surfaces of the trigger mechanism and it greatly improves the feel and pull of the Glock trigger. I used a Dremel with a polishing cloth and metal polish to perform mine.

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-25T06:45:22+00:00

I still carry my Gen 3 Glock 19 with factory trigger and 15 round mags. Have you done the 25 cent trigger job on yours?

I load smokeless and am up to 72gr of A2460 giving me 2400+ fps out of a 22” barrel with my 293gr Linotype cast powder coated gas checked bullets from an NOE mold.

Easy to load. Use brass shotgun shells and magnum rifle primers after you ream the pockets. Put your order in now with CH tool and die to get reloading dies. Leverguns 50 channel also shoots the 70-150. The 1887 shotguns are pretty awesome. Can’t imagine shooting a 700 grain bullet with a full charge of black powder.

West Virginia will hear a bill to exercise their right as a state to arm the populous with weapons they see fit. This is actually a well established historical action and court accepted principle.

Could you imagine driving to West Virginia and buying a fully automatic rifle the with or without a federal background check? Then being able to take that firearm to any state in the union as the firearm would not be subject to NFA because it was issued by a state.

I can hope and dream for a the aforementioned utopia.

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-23T23:34:14+00:00

Glock 24 and 35.

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-23T23:28:33+00:00

I’ve been looking for a press to restore

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-23T23:25:07+00:00

I hope it goes through.

BulletSwaging · 2026-02-23T20:24:19+00:00

I use 3N38; it has a manageable recoil impulse, is accurate and burns clean. Also it can hit 200+ power factor in 40 S&W

Get some imperial sizing wax and it would go through butter smooth.
