At this time it is unknown whether or not the new YouTube policies will be used to issues strikes against channels for videos that provide instruction concerning reloading or bullet casting. What is known is that YouTube is not operating in accordance with their own declared values, and they seem to be okay with that. […]

I wanted to take a minute and let you all know my current plan in light of the recent addition of more anti-freedom policies at YouTube.

For instance, what […]

Loads of BaconLoads […]

In this second video in the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Testing series I measure out and melt together the lead, tin, and antimony required to create the alloys that will be used in this test.

Hello and welcome to The Reloaders Network.  First thing, a HUGE THANKS to Loads of Bacon for all his hard work setting up this community.  This is going to be big, I have no doubt.  So recently I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog, or some kind of weekly post and […]

‘In the beginning…’ I started casting and ‘Lube-Sized’ my rifle/pistol projectiles…back then, the choice of lube was a hot topic and there were many heated exchanges about which lube would allow particular advantages. Some lubes required a ‘heater’ to be installed under the Sizer, some not. ‘Leading’ of the barrel was a problem when the […]

The Story of Me and My Henry Rifle THE DUKE……not too many nicknames garner as much of a mental image as John Wayne’s. In my mind, Wayne was the walking, talking embodiment of the American Man. The swagger, the confidence, the fairness, and the rowdiness he portrayed on screen was almost patentable. So much of […]

I was going through some old targets… When I found this old target where I was comparing my handloads to some factory ammunition I had on hand in 2014. This target was the result of a month’s worth of work having gone around in circles trying to figure the dynamics of barrel vibrations/harmonics and trying […]

This is a video response to the "Powder Coating Bullets On "Silicone" VS "Wire Mesh" ?" video posted by Elvis Ammo. I was surprised by the horrible results he experienced using a silicone mat and decided to do my own mini-experiment to see if I could get similar or better results.

We have all opened the box on a new appliance, toy, or anything that will require some assembly. Usually, the directions are right on top and sometimes they even have an abbreviated version. What happens next depends on the person and their own skill level or just their pride. I will not tell how many […]
