I came into possession of a Pacific DL 150 reloader, but it came with no manual, so I have no Idea what order the shot shell must go thru in order to be reloaded, can someone with the same model or the knowledge help me.
Thanks

    Just got some 125 gr slugs for a 30-30 post 1964 Winchester. My data is for 110 or 150 gr loads. I use IMR 4064 powder. Does anyone have data for this type of workup? I bought these when it was impossible to get any type of components. Thanx Obama!
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    I am thinking of starting to reload my ammo and I'm wondering what is the best set for the least amount of money.

    Hello Everyone, I'm Joe. It has been 15 minutes since the last time I reloaded. I have been addicted for 3 years now. When I reload, time stands still. On my days off, I reload. I am obsessed with accuracy and getting that sub MOA at 200 yards for my simple hunting rifle. When I go to bed at night, I think on how to make my bench rest more sturdy and strap my gun in so when I do my ladder at 200 yards, human error is taken out of the equation.

    Someone once told me that I might not be the only one.That there are more out there.

    My name is Joe and I am addicted to reloading.

    [:D]

    I think I have made the decision to get on the reloading band wagon. I'm looking for someone in the nor cal---east of Sacramento area as a tutor. From walking me through the purchase of a dependable set up to educating me on the first run. I have lots of brass--38, 9mm 40, 45, 44, 223 243 308 and soon--44.40. I'm a tactile learner so hands on with a mentor is far more effective to me as opposed to just buying equipment and reading a book. Plus---meeting new people.

    Thanks in advance

    Tell me about reloading. What do I need to have? Would this cover all of the tools I need? http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00005085003
    All I want to reload right now is 40cal and 30-06. How much money can a person save by reloading? How many times can the brass cases be used?
    I'm sure I will think of more questions later.

    I shoot a Marlin guide gun for hunting in 45/70. With the introduction of the 450 with the new pointed ballistic tip bullets, I would like to know if I can use these bullets in my 45/70 reloads.

    I am in the process of looking for equipment. I want something that I can reload my rifles as well as my 9mm. Is there one that is better than the other? Any help would be appreciated.

    May be just me but I personally see NO advantage to pyrodex over real BLACK POWDER I use Black in Flintlock and all black powder cartridge rifles I own . YMMV

    Real black is best for target shooting when you have time to use a blow tube or wiping rod between shots. A GOOD black powder load will have amazingly consistent velocities and excellent accuracy.

    I and others have some good links up at:
    http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98034

    Especially the part about:

    You can learn a lot on the Shiloh board even if you shoot another brand or action type. There is also a generic BPCR board with articles and schedules; and a text of the basics in BPCR loading.
    http://www.shilohrifle.com/forums/
    http://www.bpcr.net/
    http://www.ssbpcrc.co.uk/Resources/Introdu...R Loading.pdf

    Buffalo Arms is a good source of supplies and equipment, all but the powder.
    http://www.buffaloarms.com/

    Powder Inc. Is the only place I know that mailorders less than case lots of black powder. Yes, you can have BP delivered to your doorstep.
    http://www.powderinc.com/
    In case lots, the Maine Powderhouse is a good source, where I got my present lot, but there are some others.
    http://www.mainepowderhouse.com/



    Pyrodex is good for plinking because its fouling does not accumulate much and wiping or blowing is not needed. But if neglected, it is actually MORE corrosive than real black. It is seldom as accurate for real precision shooting and is not much used by competitors.

    Either way, the best approach is to clean the gun on the range, that leaves no room for doubt or neglect. It is a little messy but need not take long. I think it is quicker to get the soot out of my .38-55 than to clean the copper out of my .308.

    The Cowboy shooters like American Pioneer artificial substitute, but I have not used any or know anybody who does. Largely because NRA target and silhouette shooting does not allow anything but real black or Pyrodex. And black rules.

    Hunters like 777 because it is 15% hotter than other muzzleloader powders, does not need BP bullet lube, cleans with water or about anything. But I don't think I'd want to soup up a Ballard load by 15%. Hodgdon is supposed to have a standard power formula in the works.


    .40-63 brass is an oddball. It is expensive and dies are high. But there is nothing realistic you could rechamber to even if you were willing to knock a thousand dollars off the value of that Pacific by such butchery.
