| Reloading is your best bet. Providing the components are available. If you can, locate an experienced fellow reloader nearby to show you the process. Start off with a single stage press from any of the major mfg.'s. Then once you're comfortable, and if ammo is consumed in large enough quantities to merit it, advance to a progressive reloader. I love my Dillon XL650. They have a kick ass warranty. At the time, it was the only reloader that could keep up with my nephews appetite for shooting. | |

1 edit | I feel your pain. 9mm is almost impossible to find at a decent price. You'd think that the damn things are made out of gold... I dont usually have any problem finding 7.62 in both 39 and 54 just because the Russians made tons of the stuff  Good luck man!

But you know it always scares me when I'm buying cheap reloaded ammo from hillbilly joe and sons. I don't want my expensive gun to explode into pieces because they packed the shit with too much powder..  | |

I don't want my expensive gun to explode into pieces because they packed the shit with too much powder.. I actually don't think any of it was reloaded but I'm no expert, Made in Russia....I've shot ~100 rounds of Brown Bear 9MM through my gun and had no issues, I heard Brown Bear is "dirty" but I clean my guns after every trip and never noticed the gun being anymore dirty with Brown Bear then with Winchester, American Eagle/Federal or whatever
I bit on the 9MM but didn't get the 7.62, Most single boxes of 7.62 were ~$7.95 for 20 rounds(Brown Bear which I've also shot through an AK47 without issue)...I might pick up a 500 or 1000 round pack next time around
You can reload FMJ cases can't you?...Might get a press someday...Delaying because I don't know where to start, What presses are bad which are good. | |

| Re: [Rant] Ammunition Availability Depends on the case, not the construction of the projectile in regards to reloading. With that said, it IS possible to reload either berdan or boxer primed cases. But you wont find too many reloaders using berdan primed cases. As I mentioned in an earlier post, stick to one of the major mfg.'s of reloading equipment, using a single stage press. Less apt to make mistakes that way. Attention to detail is a must. I repeat... attention to detail is a must. Various books on reloading are available, but try to learn and work with one who's experienced in it. Then try it. | |
