	Handloading - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Handloading is the process used to create firearm cartridges by hand versus those put together en masse and sold commercially, generally in packages of 6 to 50.
		Motivations for handloading cartridges are increased accuracy and cost savings, though handloaders may sacrifice one for the other.
		Primers also play a role in accuracy and consistency, but the handloader usually has no ability to manufacture these, so the handloader is limited to experimenting with different primers available commercially.

	FAQ - Handloading Issues
		While we recognize that handloading properly practised is a safe activity, government has the duty to maintain up-to-date, appropriate regulations, thereby maintaining the confidence of the public that government is acting in a responsible manner.
		The respondents do not like the notion that we somehow infer that the handloading community is reckless and irresponsible, thereby endangering the lives of others as well as their own families.

		Handloading should be approached with the same degree of caution as an experimental science.
		Most handloading presses have a bench-mounted cast iron structure which holds a die on its top and a piston-like ram in the base which inserts the case into the die to perform various functions.
		Most handloaders use a mechanical powder dispenser made up of a hopper to hold a supply of gunpowder, a volumetric metering mechanism to measure powder quantity, and a drop tube to pour the measured powder into the waiting case.

	Handloading Information
		The handloader can also create cartridges for which there are no commercial equivalents, such as wildcat cartridges.
		The handloader is afforded a wider selection of bullet weights than can readily be found in commercially-loaded ammunition, and there are many different powders that can be used for any given cartridge.
		For ultimate accuracy and performance, the handloader also has the option of using a wildcat cartridge; wildcats are the result of shaping the cartridge and chamber themselves to a specific end, and the results push the envelope of velocity, energy, and accuracy.

		Handloading is not only a rewarding and enjoyable hobby, it makes economical sense and allows you to produce the most accurate ammunition.
		The truth is, carefully handloaded ammunition is usually better than factory loaded, because it can be fine-tuned to fit a specific gun and a certain type of shooting.
		Many non-reloaders think it takes several hundred dollars to get into handloading properly, but the truth is you can get all the equipment you need to start out with for less than $200.00.

	Real Guns Book Review - Handloading for Competition
		There are lots and lots of reloading guides that do nothing more than recycle; take tried and true methods that have been hashed over many times, in many forms, throughout many forums and represent them as new or little known procedures.
		"Handloading for Competition" is filled with a lot of facts, suggestions, information and opinions from someone with enough experience to provide real detail.
		The book is an overkill for most of us who don't participate in organized competition, but that only means we are free to pick and choose to the degree and level we feel the suggested direction is beneficial.

	Survival Handloading
		Many have commenced the task of handloading in search of obvious monetary savings, which are certainly in their future.
		But come later, rather than sooner: most handloaders will find though, that the addiction to the hobby, the absolute love of handloading, becomes more important than any money that will be saved.
		As a survivalist, brainstorming possible scenarios relating to the much discussed SHTF situations that this world could feasibly find itself in, is unavoidable, as well as the desire and the drive to prepare for those uncertain events by stocking up beforehand.

	Gunwriters' Handloading Subsonic Cartridges, Part 2
		Name for the article was selected because since early 1980's many authorities of handloading wished the author to keep all his knowledge on reduced-charge loading as a well-concealed secrecy.
		Handloading of low-signature rifle cartridges has been "a doubtful bustle" in Finland since the very first years of 20th century.

	Beartooth Bullets > Tech Notes > Handloading On A Shoestring
		The average prospective handloading neophyte centers his focus upon either cost savings in loaded ammo by rolling his own, or loading specialty rounds that are not commercially available over the counter.
		Beyond weighing powder charges a scale serves other useful purposes, such as weighing bullets, cases, determining case capacity in grains of water, and even check weighing loaded rounds of ammo and comparing weights if it is suspected that a case might not have received a charge of powder, or perhaps a double charge.
		One of the primary advantages in handloading is the ability to assemble ammunition with specialized projectiles, loads specifically tailored to hunting, or light plinking ammunition, to small game loads all for the same firearm.

	Handloading The .223 Remington For The AR15
		When handloading for the AR15, a relatively quick burning powder such as Reloder 7 (L) is ideal for bullets weighing up to 55 grains, and a slower burning powder like Reloder 15 (R) is more suitable for heavyweight bullets.
		For starters, handloads put together haphazardly are good for making noise, but when it comes to ammo for feeding a super-accurate AR you need the best available in order to realize its full accuracy potential.
		As odd as it might sound in a report on handloading, shooting factory ammo in a new rifle is a good place to start simply because doing so gives you a baseline for comparing the accuracy of your handloads.

		If somebody is able to handload the shotshells into brass cases with a smokeless powder (this author isn't), he/she is a prominent handloader of the rifle cartridges too...
		The oversized portion of the bullet point MUST be at the front of cartridge case mouth, because it is impossible to squeeze (say) 8.23 mm bullet into the.308 case neck, chamber this cartridge, to shoot it and to survive or even escape without physical injury and a wrecked rifle.

		This is aimed at getting the basics, plus a few niceties into the space of a tackle box, while still having the capacity to produce very fine quality ammunition and derive much pleasure and utility from the basic equipment that fits into the space requirements described.
		Along with handloading also comes the inevitable loaded round that will have to be pulled apart for some reason, or another.
		There are two basic ways to go about the pulling of bullets, either with collet type puller that screws into your loading press, and uses a tightening collet to firmly grip the bullet, then pull the brass free from the bullet using the leverage of your press, or to use a kinetic type bullet puller.

		When a chronograph is used in conjunction with published loading data, modern handloaders are able to find if they’re hitting their target velocity with lower and safer powder charges than the data calls for or if their combination of components results in velocities so high as to call pressure into question.
		Today, a handloader need only choose one of the premium pistol bullets, such as Speer’s Gold Dot, that have come out as a result of the famous FBI bullet tests to get excellent and reliable penetration, expansion, and accuracy at safe and manageable levels not possible before.
