Book Review: Reloading for Handgunners

Play

In this episode of Reloading Radio executive producer Mark Vanderberg gets behind the microphone and records an episode about a book he recently read.

Patrick Sweeney has a new book out called “Reloading for Handgunners” in which he goes a little further then you would get from a basic beginners reloading book. The book is geared towards handgun loads and for most of us that’s where were trying to save money because of the volume that a lot of us shoot from our modern semi automatic handguns.

Mr. Sweeney has some very good information that you could almost consider tips from experienced reloader. Things that are very valuable to someone who is just starting out. There is also a section on each of several very popular handgun cartridges with a little history and load workup about each one. I found the sections my favorite part of the book because I could pick and choose which information I wanted to read depending on the calibers that I load.

You can join us and other listeners to this podcast and talk about reloading at GRRN Discussion Forum & The Reloading Room on Facebook.

Shotshell Reloading Cost Calculator

Play

I wanted to see if i was going to to be spending more money reloading target shot shells than what i could buy factory ammo. now don’t say that i will defiantly  save money if i reloaded for high end ammo over buying that. cause i already know that and i don’t buy that expensive stuff other than self defense ammo and i will still buy self defense ammo over reloading it. and i don’t shoot expensive ammo when i go to the range to just put lead down range. so i wanted to see if i could load what i shoot the most which is Winchester AA light target loads. so i found some load data. and plug in all the data in this user easy calculator and press calculate, and that’s it. The software handles everything else which is sweet.  oh and check out the youtube channel reloading radio at this time there is no videos but there might be by the time you read this.
