Reloading and the movies....check out, 'Jack Reacher'.

Didn't Tom Selleck have a reloading scene in his Quigly Down Under movie? I think I remember him talking about re-sizing British bullets and using a paper patch (something I'd love to learn more about)...

"Quigley Down Under" - reloading indeed

Not in the movies, but still - video game Fallout 3 New Vegas has an option for a character to reload his/her own ammunition. They even differentiate between primer types

I found a couple of Reloader GIFs. Does that count?

I also think Tom Cruise as big man Jack Reacher is poor casting. Who would be a good choice for that role? Off hand, I can't think of a good choice from today's actors, but somebody like Joe Don Baker (from the original Walking Tall movie) comes to mind.

Are there any bright young actors who go 6'5"?

Sure, I'll play.

Casting against type, how about Brad Garrett (brother Robert from Everybody Loves Raymond)?

I think the press was a Forstner Coax.

I know those movies aren't meant to be critically examined, but l found l couldn't help raving all the way home about the police procedure and crime scene investigation.

You got a search warrant because you found a print on a coin in a public parking meter which holds hundreds of coins?

..................... I think it will be my favorite, 'Reloading in the Movies' scene.

first image in my head about reloading in the movies is actually about casting bullets - with Mel Gibson by the campfire melting the little army men toys down in "Patriot" then pouring the lead into his mold

"aim small, miss small"

hey, I just posted the same in kd5exp's thread - it applies here too

George Clooneys "The American" He is working on a gun for half the movie. Dont remember if hes making custom ammo as well though...

One of the biggest hollywood anti gun liberals . You'd have to hold a gun on me to get me to watch anything with him in it .

How can we forget Mr. Charles Bronson reloading .475 Wildey Cartridges in DW3 (yes, it was a cheesy movie)?
