You and me both....reloading supplies are hard to come by these days. I pretty much get whatever is available and will work, not necessarily what I want.ponycarman wrote:I would need some powder, bullet, brass, and the dies

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Haha I hear ya. I haven't been looking until I know more of what I'm looking for haha. I've been looking at alternative ways to have fun for cheap. Hence the black powder and air rifle interest I've had rescently .

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
I too am looking at some black powder pistols. They are reasonably priced and their supplies seem to be in stock. Gonna do some reading first before I jump into it....my wife is gonna flip when I bring home another type of firearm. I keep telling her it is an "investment" and she just gives me that special "look" reserved only for wives. Gawd, I hope she isn't standing behind me right now.....whew, she isn't !

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
My wife is too....I joke a lot but she's pretty good about it. She also enjoys shooting her .38 and we go to the range together for practice. She's currently taking a NRA certified shooting class right now to qualify for her concealed license. Actually I'm taking the same course with her, it never hurts to have more experience and to have a certified instructor watching me shoot to correct some bad practices. It's really a good class and well worth the time and effort.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Nice. I have to get my wife to get her cwp. She enjoys shooting as well. Handguns mostly. She has trouble shouldering rifles and shotguns.

Teach her to hip shoot the shotgun.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
Get her a .410 gauge, load it with light birdshot loads, not everybody can handle the bigger 12 gauges, or even a 20.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
I've been thinging about doing that. That. Might just get a 12ga to 410 adapter for my single shot. I think she will be fine if she practices and works her way up from her .22

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
This is why I start new rifle shooters with the M1 carbine, they get used to it without any pain involved, makes them want to shoot again.

Re: About to enter the world of reloading :)
She shot my ar15. Just once but she shot it lol. The ammo problem is what has kept me from shooting much at all. I hate to fo shoot stuff that I have slim chances of replacing lol.

I must have bought it on sale back in the 90's, I rarely ever shot the AR's.
