  • Firearm Safety 1. Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe
    FIREARM SAFETY 1. ALWAYS KEEP THE M UZZLE POINTED IN A S A F E DIRECTION This is the most basic safety rule. If everyone handled a firearm so carefully that the muzzle never pointed at something they didn’t intend to shoot, there would be virtually no firearms accidents. It’s as simple as that, and it’s up to you. Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction. A safe direction means a direction in which a bullet cannot possibly strike anyone, taking into account possible ricochets and the fact that bullets can penetrate walls and ceilings. The safe direction may be “up” on some occasions or “down” on others, but never at anyone or anything not intended as a target. Even when “dry firing” with an unloaded gun, you should never point the gun at an unsafe target. Make it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing at all times, and be sure that you are in control of the direction in which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. This is your responsibility, and only you can control it. 2. FIREARMS ACTIONS SHOULD BE OP E N AN D S H O U L D B E UNLOADED WHEN NOT AC TUALLY IN USE Firearms should be loaded only when you are in the field or on the target range or shooting area, ready to shoot.

  • Intro to Reloading
    Intro to Reloading This introductory manual will cover the basics of handloading ammunition. It will include information regarding necessary equipment, required materials, and the reloading process. This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide. Reloading is an in-depth, complex subject. This guide is a starting point for absolute beginners. Further information should be sought out for your specific calibers you are reloading, your specific brand and models of equipment, and your specific reloading components and materials. Follow all instructions that come with your equipment and materials. When someone who has never reloaded their own ammo looks into it, the needed equipment list is daunting and expensive. It is the intention of this guide to make reloading seem easy and accessible. Anyone, even children, can reload ammunition if shown the steps. My 8 year old is more than eager to help me de-prime, drop powder, or resize shells. Hopefully the knowledge presented here will increase your confidence when it comes to starting your reloading journey. [2] Socialistra.org Why Reload? Self Sufficiency: A decade ago, the generally accepted wisdom was “You will always be able to find .22lr. You will always be able to find .223. You will always be able to find .30-06. You will always be able to find XYZ.” After Sandy Hook in 2012, that all changed. For YEARS afterward, certain kinds of ammo were simply non-existent on store shelves. In this Time of Trump, it may not seem to make sense to spend $.10-$.25 more on each round you would make vs just buying the factory ammo.

  • The Los Angeles Silhouette Club
    The Los Angeles Silhouette Club The .38 SWC By: Glen E. Fryxell THIS ARTICLE REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION OF GLEN E. FRYXELL AND HANDLOADS.COM The .38 Special is the most reloaded handgun cartridge in the United States. The semi-wadcutter (SWC) bullet is the most versatile and popular handgun bullet design. It logically follows that we shoot a lot of .38 SWC in this great land of ours. Ah, but "Familiarity breeds contempt"! We don't tend to think about this load much because the .38 Special and the SWC have been around longer than most any of us have, and we just plain take them for granted. Well, let's stop for a second and take a closer look at what we have. What is the history of this valuable combination? Which design features appeared when and who designed them? And perhaps more importantly, are all .38 SWC's pretty much the same, or are there some that are superior to others? Let's take a closer look at this old friend... The first bullet that modern shooters would recognize as a SWC was the 150 grain Ideal 360271, which was designed by B. F. Wilder just after 1900. This bullet had a reputation for accuracy and for cutting clean, full-caliber holes in targets, and was recommended by the United States Revolver Association for target work. A few years later, J. B. Crabtree designed the 358345, a 115 grain wadcutting bullet for the .38 S&W Special cartridge. It too was widely regarded as an accurate short-range target bullet.

  • What to Do with a Cartridge Case, a Bullet, Or a Primer INTRO What You
    What to do with a Cartridge Case, a Bullet, or a Primer INTRO What you do with an object in the field is based on what you know about it. If you know everything you need to know about the object, you don't need to bring it home: just document it and let the future deal with it. However, there is a second issue: clearly you must bring back a large number of artifacts to pursue related analysis, such as how many users are represented. What is the distribution of cultural modification? Will the collection show personal preferences? If you recognize firearms material as valuable, you will have to collect it, and do all the research yourself. You can't rely on a firearms expert to give you all the information since they can not put it in context for you. If you find a: Winchester Repeating Arms Company, Caliber 44 WCF, made from 1873 to 2011, you don't have very much information to work with. This is why many analysis reports only list Cartridge cases and Bullets, depriving the reader of the sometimes rich history of development and use of a particular cartridge in the local area. If all you are going to do is list the artifact in your analysis, collect the headstamp information and leave it in situ. IF YOU WANT MORE INFO In the following paper I hope to give you some basic tools to use in an analysis of a cartridge, or parts thereof, found in the field. They should provide you enough information to decide if you want, or need, to research further.
