OP, check out ‘Midsouth shooter Supplies’, they have the powder you need in stock and ship. I’ve loaded thousands of rounds of .38 special and .357. I have used Accurate powder for years, but there others out there just as good.

I was in the military for over 20 years, UH1Huey crew chief and door gunner. I never saw a reloaded round of 7.62x51 or 5.56. Maybe the military may use reloads in training, but when your butt has a target circle on it you used the good stuff. And the good stuff couldn’t help the M-60. We went on a mission years ago with 22 M60s. At the end of the day only two were operational.

Tha ammo in no-corrosive and good stuff. I have shot a ton of it and still have a case or two. IIRC from research on this stuff…yes it does have hecho Venezuela on the box but I.think Venezuela had a contract with a company in Yugoslavia to produce the ammo. Still good stuff. Bob

Actually the cross in a circle means it meets NATO ammunition standards. All military ammo I’ve seen (a lot) is crimped

I too use a very old 550 with Dillon dies and have experienced small flash holes. It’s like the .45 acp issue with large and small primer pockets we see now. Just another step to save our precious primers.

Sorry, no FMK or HP.

How much you looking for?

My experience with handguns deal with revolvers. Many years ago I tried to wear out a S&w model 28. I went to the range two days a week with buckets of ammo. I fired it till the cylinder wouldn’t turn. Went home and cleaned it, then repeated the next day. Gave up. Good quality revolvers like S&W you will never wear out no matter the round count. If you know how to check one for wear and tear you will be good if the price is right. I’ll leave auto to others.

Don’t need another .45 but I’m a leftie and might be interested in the holsters if your buyer doesn’t want them. Bob

I agree with the above on reloading manuals…read, read, then read some more. As of right now “Midsouth Shooter Supply” has around 30 types of powder in stock and they ship. Keep an eye out in the usual places for used equipment and manuals. A couple of forums that could help are Reloading Equipment Only and No BS Reloading. If you were closer I could let you have some primers as you are a newbie.

If your just starting then a single stage is best. I’m useing RCBS rock chuckers for precision rounds,. Others have their favorites. I have been at this a long time and had an epiphany. It’s like you buy a $100 fishing rod, then a $20,000 boat to take it fishing. Primers are going to be your problem.

How much ammo do you need? Bob

I have a H&R model 999. It is a 9 shot .22 that will take anything in that caliper. It is a top break type with a 6” barrel. It has seen some rust on the barrel (not bad) due to improper storage, handgun bag with wool. Unfortunately shipping a pistol at today’s cost would be about 25% of the guns worth. Bob

If you have the receiver is it papered?

TTT. This is good ammo at a good price.

I worked at a National Lab where we were working on a rail gun. The projectiles would burn up in earth’s atmosphere. It was part of the ‘Star Wars’ project and never happened.

Sending a dirty gas pulse into the breech has always been a bad idea IMO. Trying to clean them before turn in was an impossible task with what the army gave you to clean them. Give me my M-14 back and I’ll be happy. My M-14 and the M-60 gunner got along just fine as we shared ammo. We could reach out and touch while the M-16’s just sprayed.

You need one more position on the selector switch. Then it’s a bullet hose.

OK guys, I picked this up in a sale of an early carbine and a Jungle Carbine and have no use of it. 5.45x39 20 round boxes 340 rounds $0.35/round SOLD 7.62x39 20 round boxes with some loose 4000 rounds $0.32/round, ALL SOLD 223 20 round boxes 220 rounds $0.30/round, SOLD .308 boxes of 20 460 rounds $0.90/round 7.62x54R 440 spam can $0.55/round FTF in Knoxville if possible.

Let me know if you need steel cased ammo. I’ve picked up some…Knoxville

A person listed carbine receivers yesterday on the CMP forum, sub section ‘for sale’.

Thanks for all the responses. Price range…up to around $500.00. As far as ghost guns go, I don’t like the ATF sticking their nose in my business more than anyone else. But God forbid, if I was involved in a shooting with one, I think someone be it the police or a federal agency would step on my neck. This is off topic and I’m done.
