About to enter the world of reloading :)

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]

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 .

[rlchemist]

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 !

[ponycarman]

I understand haha. My wife has been pretty understanding so far luckily.

[rlchemist]

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.

[ponycarman]

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.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Teach her to hip shoot the shotgun.

[ponycarman]

Haha that would probably be even harder for her to do.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Get her a .410 gauge, load it with light birdshot loads, not everybody can handle the bigger 12 gauges, or even a 20.

[ponycarman]

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

[Junk Yard Dog]

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.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Or I used to before ammo got out of sight.

[ponycarman]

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.

[Junk Yard Dog]

,22lr conversion kit If you can find one that works.

[ponycarman]

I was refering to all calibers haha. I think I have found ar ammo easier than 22lr

[Junk Yard Dog]

Not in my supply , but I did find 240 rounds of commercial .223 that I didn't know I had in the shed last weekend.

[ponycarman]

Nice! I haven't been in this long enough to find stuff I forgot I had haha.

[Junk Yard Dog]

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