| Why do we call it REloading? I often load ammunition from brass I have shot. I suppose this can be called REloading. However I regularly load using new brass, new bullets, new primers, and new powder. Nothing RE here. I think we should call what we do loading. End rant. |

LotBoy...holy blast from the past...how many mags does he have now? Up into double digits yet? He bought a SIG 556 and recently sold it. He still has one Colt AR maybe 4 mags and a small stash of Q3131A. I actually BANNED him from shooting with me... although I can't remember why now. 
I think it was that he pissed backwards on a night mission when I was counting on him. |

Its a hold over to when it all started back in the Buffalo Hunter/professional hunter days and what the Winchester Company & lyman Company called the components and tools they produced. Even today, the vast majority of handloading is done with pre-fired cases. MLG |
