Joe Huffman would appear to be the man to watch in regards to news about the Moscow shooting, since he lives there.

UPDATE: He now has some pictures.

Thinking About Reloading

author Posted by: Sebastian on date May 20th, 2007 | filed Filed under: Shooting

I’m sure there are some of you out there that are reloaders.  The price of 5.56×45mm has me seriously considering taking it up as a hobby.  It looks to me like the money saved doing it yourself is really negligible unless you reuse your brass.

What are the advantages to reloading really?   Can it save money?  How many times can you typically reuse brass?  Is it worth it for me to invest in all the equipment to do it?  Are there hazards?  The ammo I spend the most amount of time shooting, other than .22LR, is .223, 9×19mm, 9×18mm and 7.62×39.   I think the latter two, because they are typically Berdan primed, would be hard to reload.   Any advise is appreciated.
