Re Posting this thread. Please do some of the work.

I have a #9 too....

Back in 1975 I bought a Speer #9 reloading manual and never looked back. It answered all my questions.

But the #10 had loads that were a LOT hotter than the ones in #9 so I threw away the #9 and started using that one.




PS Seriously, a few things have changed since #9. Back then they advocated filling a rifle cartridge airspace with dacron and now they say, "NO WAY". Some people say it will 'ring' your barrel and some say it never happens.
 
In most every reloading manual I have, reload data (bullets/powders and charges/primers) is only a part of the contents. Ever one has a good part of the manual dedicated to the "how to" of reloading. So, IMO, reading a manual is for the "how to" stuff, and referring to a manual is for load data...
 
I guess I'm guilty of some of that. I have asked questions, when with enough research and googling, I could have found the answer, but I tend to trust the members here more than the "google experts". Sure didn't know asking could cause problems.
 
The questions that "bother" me most (and frankly scare me thinking this guy's actually gonna reload ammo . . . and probably votes too) are the ones which if typed VERBATIM into a search bar yield the exact answer as the FOURTH match found.

The only reason it's only the fourth match is because the first three tell you where you can buy "insert verbatim question here".

Good to repost this . . . have to try . . . but IME it won't change things much.

Just noticed the ancient age of this. Maybe things have improved.
 
If people asking for advice on what powder to use makes you that butt-mad, don't read the thread.

Why are you reading this then?

That's why you are here, you can field all those questions
Perhaps make up a "flow" chart and a PP presentation?
 
If there were no questions, there would be little need of this forum.


No one said, nor did the article say, don't ask questions but I guess you would have to read that.;)
I case you missed it:


So please try to do some background research, get some information, then if you have a problem, by all means ask. There are no dumb questions just ones that have not even been researched first.





So now lets get back to how to clean brass, what is the best press to by, and what is the best powder for the 38 special and can it be used for all other handgun and rifle calibers.??

I feel qualified to comment authoritatively on this thread because I haven't read much of it. I have read a few early comments, and much of the thread seems to be ironic attempts at humor. Resuscitating this thread brings to mind the concept of cloning Adolf Hitler - an interesting intellectual exercise, but to what useful purpose?

Well drawing an analogy between the 3 actual threads (2 threads and original article) and that of cloning Hitler??
Well that shows just how "authoritatively" qualified you really are.:rolleyes:


Pontificating some words there, but saying nothing.

I'm ridiculing your mad, which amuses me.
 
Where can I get 8# of Solo 1000? Asking for a friend whose house blew up.

I agree wholeheartedly! And it appears that that "...ironic attempt(s) at humor..." continues, unfortunately. :(
