What do with my brass if I am not a reloader? I've been hoarding it in the hopes of selling it to someone one day.

The only autistic thibg about reloading is fumbling over your words asking other people for their brass.

Quit being a poorfag and reload already. 10-20 range trips later and you could have 1000 rounds of 5.56 saved up for what money you could've bought 300 for

Those huge tits are more interesting than your post, OP. You've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders.

I actually feel really lame doing it.

Laugh if you want but this is how I can afford to shoot as much as I do. But don't laugh if you don't shoot better than me. I shoot better than most of the people at the range, if not everyone.

>>33286459
Buy premium ammo?

You do realize one of the many perks of relaxing is that if you make match grade ammo specifically tuned to your rifle all the way down to what your particular barrel likes to reverb at.
The .308 I reload shoots better than the best ammo I care to find and it's still about a third the cost.

Seems like your just lazy. Which is fine, but not a reason bitch about reloading.

>>33286266
I don't reload but you're a retard OP.
Who is this semen demon?

>>33286390
After I shot a few boxes of .308 through my PTR at my local range, and one of the employees saw how much I shot he said "damn I should pick up some of that brass for my .308 AR," I just said good luck with that.

>Guy always offers to let us shoot his reloads

>>33286266
This faggot doesn't want cheaper, more accurate ammo tailored specifically for his personal firearms. Kek.

Also, sauce

While I hate rude brass scavengers, it's a total dick move to toss good brass rather than give it to a reloader who would keep it in circulation.

What I hate worse is cunts that throw their bass away and cry like bitches about ammo prices.

my passion for reloading wanes and grows depending on mood. some days, im all about prepping brass and thinking about powder. other days i dont even want to go into my reloading room

meh, reloading saves me money and allows me to tailor my pistol loads to exact PF for competition. I've also seen bulk pistol ammo completely out of spec from companies like winchester. I don't spend a ton of money on premium ammo for practice or competition. I'd rather dump that money on guns or optics. my pistol set up runs on a case feeder and bullet feeder so loading upwards of a thousand rounds an hour is almost doable.

as far as rifle goes, if you're shooting for precision and accuracy with a rifle and you aren't reloading you're retarded. match ammo is good, but you can easily do better on your own for markedly cheaper.

the pennies per round meme is fucking retarded. in all honesty, the money saved I don't give that much of a shit about but even for 9mm rounds I beat the shittiest of most brass ammo by at least 20 bucks or so per thousand, and that's garbage ammo like magtech. PMC and Blazer I'm typically beating by about 60 bucks per thousand and that's for all of one hour at the bench loading on this setup. given that I oftentimes shoot at least a couple thousand rounds a month the difference actually is noticeable in the long term.

for rifle, fuck it. I've put over 700 down the barrel of my last build (a 6.5-284 which isn't even horribly expensive in terms of precision ammo when compared with some of those snowflake cartridges out there) and to do that with factory ammo would cost almost $2,000 alone

>>33286266
I can't be assed to reload my 9mm or .223 but I save the brass anyway to trade. I mainly reload and cast bullets for my milsurps because it really does save a ton of money and I enjoy it.

>>33287317
You're on 4chan talking about wasting time. I save like way more than pennies per hour. I put one of my laptops on my bench when I reload so I can listen to music and shitpost.

>>33287556
>saving money on 9mm

At 20 cents a round, I'm not too worried. I guess if you shoot a SHIT TON it may be worth the investment, and pray you never mess up and asplode your gun.

i seriously dont understand the animosity towards reloaders.

if you dont use the brass who cares?

majority of reloaders wait until people leave, an the ones that ask "hey are you keeping your brass" are only asking so they dont take brass you intend to reload, its called being polite.

i dont understand why this thread is made every single day, like is it just for the (you)s?

>hur durr he reloads he must be poor
you dont even shoot that much, majority of you hardly ever shoot your guns, thats why you are here all the time lmfao

>hurr i hate reloaders they are rats

majority of reloaders shoot a fuckload of ammo, so reloading is cost effective. they probably spend the same ammount or more than you when they buy supplies, they just get 2-3x the ammount of ammo out of it.

>hurr he uses other peoples brass

well yea, free brass is great. buying brass brings up the cost to reload a lot, its not just some super cheap ass component like primers, brass is up there on expense.

while you look down on reloaders just remember you are paying the same price for super shitty quality plinker ammo that they are for quality match ammo.


so i guess i do get why youre butt mad, but seriously chill. learn to reload if it frustrates you so much. and before you say "oh i dont have time" yes you do, you are on 4chan, you have time. "oh but i dont have the space in my 12x12 apartment" make room, lol whos the fuckin poorfag now?

TL;DR stop bitching and reload its better.

Double feeds are so obvious. I don't even think I could seat a bullet with that much powder. I also weigh each charge before putting it in the case.

>Hurr reloading is dumb.

I spent maybe 25min picking up brass after everyone els leaves around 04:30.

This pile is from the last two trips to the range, I've got somewhere around 4,000 pieces of brass.

when I process brass for reloading just one caliber, it takes at least 3 days to process just for one caliber.

Granted I just put it in the machine and leave so it actually only takes me about 5min of work.

lol I save about $60 per thousand rounds of 9mm I reload, which means after I reload 2k I have enough money saved I can reload another 1k for the price of 2k if you buy the cheapest new brass cased ammo on ammo seek right now.

And I don't cast lead either.

>>33288130
i weigh the first 5 or so then i weigh them randomly just to make sure i dont under charge them.

a double charge literally spills over in 9mm.

>>33288125

I wonder if the savings are really worth the time though. I mean I just looked up some numbers and it looks like you can reload and it'll cost you about 31 cents a round.

>>33288250
eh I can reload match quality .223 with 77 gr Nosler custom competition bullets for 27 cents a round and it will outshoot any of that bulk bullshit you can buy and get you out to 500 yards out of a 16 inch AR and actually work. having shot PMC bronze at ranges like that, it doesn't fucking work.

Nah, you can do it for about 15 cents if you buy your bullets. 4-5 cents if you cast them and have free lead.

Not counting startup costs and your time. But you need brass.

>>33288243
i reload 9mm for like 10-12 cents a round. i could reload for even cheaper but i like my set up.

you can reload 5.56 for cheaper than 25 a round, ive got a work friend who does and his rounds work really well for him.

its all about hunting for good deals too man. i just happen to live really close to an online retailers warehouse so i circumvent shipping and hazard feeds by ordering online and then doing in store pickup.

if you reload to save money theres that, but you have to be careful with reloading. its not just dangerous, but soon youll want to reload some crazy ass shit and it will start really costing money.

depends on your desired set up. A rock chucker kit and some dies you could probably grab for about 400 bucks or so and if you have a place to put it you're good to go. on the other hand it's just as easy to really inflate the cost of equipment. my dillon xl650 set up that I can run about a thousand rounds an hour on cost about $2,000 to get it into its final form.

$500-600 if you value your time and/or the accuracy of your ammunition.

You can do it for less, but you will have to make due with lower quality equipment.

I only reload for expensive rounds like .38 special or rifle rounds. It's not worth my time or the risk of a case failure to reload 9mm.

you'll get different answers from everyone but I'd say a Lee single stage kit or an RCBS rock chucker single stage kit would be the right place to start. the kits will be from 200 to 300. usually the rest of the cost comes from dies and shit the price of which depends on what you're loading and your purpose but normally run from 40 up to 140 dollars (your basic normal die sets or competition die sets) respectively

the newest generation of lee turret press cost around $200 now.

>>33288803
I didn't mean 500 for just a press, but for the press, dies, and other stuff.
What other people have posted is useful though.

Try a .223 with 20 grains RL15 and 5 of german dark flake.

>>33288758
Depends what you want to do, but I bought piecemeal.

Single stage and a quality scale (a $17 scale is not going to be accurate to 0.1 grain) is best for precision loads.

A progressive press is best for churning out pistol ammunition with +/- 0.2-0.3 grain precision, assuming you have a quality powder drop.

I use a single stage, but it is slow. Hickock 45 has some good videos on reloading, and you can check out other youtube reloading guides before you decide.

Also, get a reloading manual first. It has load data, but more importantly, should have all you need to know to get started.

>>33288819
its a turret, i have had no problems with powder. i adjust it, it drops reliably.

my 12 scale is fine, i check it using the mechanical scale as a standard and its just fine.

You may only buy ammo from licensed ammo dealers, and you can bet your ass they'll jack up prices because of it.
Can't buy online and have it delivered to your house anymore. If you do buy online, you have to send it to an ammo dealer like an ffl transfer.

Goes into effect Jan 1st 2018

>>33287266
You should probably just hire somebody to do your shooting for you. Get an H&H double barreled rifle in some well-pedigreed caliber, and send your employee to the range with it twice a week.

That way you still get to engage in an enjoyable hobby while maximizing your productive time.

I have bags full of brass (my own) and I don't even reload. Part of it is just picking up after myself, another part of it is "some day I'll start reloading!"

Is once-fired brass worth enough money to bother with trying to sell it?

>>33289064
for about 1000 9mm you can get like 35-40$ unprocessed. a lot of people wont buy it tho, because a lot of reloaders sell brass they used 10x and then sell it as "ONCE FIRED!" and thats kinda shitty.

Does anyone have a recommendation for .357 powder? I've been using unique for all my pistol handloads, but I'd prefer something that fills the case a bit more.

>>33286717
I want to give her a babby

>>33289031
this is true if you check every powder load and all that every single time.. i don't do this. when i set up to reload, i run one primed case through and check the powder drop on it three times or so to make sure i'm getting consistent powder throws within 0.1 grains of expectation and then I just run them and trust my powder measure. before i installed a bullet feeder i had a powder check station installed on my press but it only sounded one time in a few thousand loads and it was because the charge was 0.2 grains over and i adjusted the bar on the high end to alert me to overcharges more easily. 0.2 grains by the way is 5% overcharge for the load I run. at this stage i trust it pretty well and do little things like use powder baffles and keep an eye on the dispenser powder level to keep it consistent. the one thing I do absolutely do for every single round though is run it through a hundo case gauge, check all the primer seats, and inspect all the cases before and after for any signs of damage.

You are correct if you are working per hour it is more efficient to purchase ammo. However most reloaders due it because it is fun, helps them compete better due to pf, or they want to tune their round to their gun for superior accuracy.

If you have oddball rounds it is almost required to reload though.

Correct.
Lapua brass, 140gr HDY match BTHP moly coated seated .010 off the lands, IMR4350 powder.

I used to find it unbelievable that sub-MOA groups were possible with an iron sighted rifle, but then I got my CG-63.

>>33301825

How do you get your brass so shiny. I'm using the old NRA recipe of white vinegar, water, and detergent, but mine never get that shiny.

Will a tumbler do it, or do I need to hand polish?

>>33301825
Yeah, Swedish Mausers are a joy. I have never been able to get a good measurement on how I would need to seat my bullets to get close to the lands, I was using retarded caveman methods like covering a bullet in permanent marker and jamming it in, then seating it deeper until I didn't see contact. Unsurprisingly I didn't ever get a solid measurement. I know the military barrels have quite a long throat, but do the CG-63 barrels? I remember them being of a different, heavier design.

>>33302001
A few hours in a tumbler with some coconut media or whatever the overpriced shit is will get mine that shiny, that /k/omrade obviously anneals too which adds a nice classy looking touch.

>>33296733

I see no damn point in competing in accuracy comps when I already see old codgers with dedicated rigs putting out sub-.5moa groups at my local range. I'm not going to beat that at this point.

Maybe 2/3 gun, since I can still run.

>>33302001
a few hours in a regular tumbler using fresh media will do it, I also make a point to throw my fired brass in the tumbler as soon as a get back from the range rather then letting it sit for weeks or months with the fouling on it. seems to clean a bit easier but I could be imagining it.

if you realllllly want your brass shiny, the stainless steel media tumblers are the way to go. I've used one of those at my friend's place to bring my tarnished 45-70 black powder loaded brass back to factory new appearance, even in the primer pockets. I'm gonna get around to building one of them sooner or later, there's a few simple designs floating around on youtube where guys drive them with a $30 windshield wiper motor.

>>33302107
I tried similar methods with limited sucess untill I finally broke down and bought the Hornady tool for checking seating depth. It was honestly worth it, especially if you're serious about making top-notch ammo. you'll definately want the Bullet Comparator Basic Set as well to measure to the relevant part of the bullet instead of the tip, I could kick myself for waiting over ten years before upgrading my equipment.

anyway, enough hornady shilling, the seating depth on my CG-63 and my M96 were only about .020 apart, with the CG-63 actually being the shorter of the two. with the 140gr bullets I'm using, I have to seat right around maximum magazine length

>>33302125
you've got the wrong idea here, The real fun in it for me anyway is the self improvement aspect. The fact that I'm shooting with other competitors is largely inconsequential during the match, but very helpful afterwards as everyone has a good time discussing equipment, techniques and tricks to improve our scores, etc. I've learned way more about accurate shooting just through osmosis at matches then I ever did fucking around on the internet.

Also the the pleasure and advantage of getting to shoot and get ammo for guns that most people can't. Back in 12-13 after sandy hook, my trigger time did not stop one bit. A bit of range trash, match heads, soft metals and some bullet molds are all I need for the apocalypse.

Well, that and all the good shit I was able to horde because I didn't have to shoot it all up.

>/k/ is so preoccupied with shooting innawoods and bitching about public ranges that the idea of going to shoot with other people in a competitive setting seems to be totally outside of their sphere of interest

They're afraid of their results. They spend day in and day out shitposting on the internet and never actually shoot their guns. So, if they were to go to a comp they'd be finishing at the bottom of the class.

That is, provided they don't DQ themselves or get asked to leave when they sperg out, or demonstrate a lack of safe gun handling.

I would do this if I could automate the whole thing

I'm pretty handy with robots - how hard do you guys think it'd be?
