An old practical-machinist thread turned up in my search results. An unemployed machinist was asking about the tooling needed to make primers.

Please stop telling people to just wait for that mythical new source of ammo and components to show up.

Subsonic .308 Win Handloads – Testing & Understanding

By Josh Wayner – AmmoLand IMAGE: Ammoland Editors Note : Caution, Reloading can be very dangerous Understanding the principles of making subsonic ammunition takes time and a bit of creativity. I got into the game of subsonic shooting a few years back when I was debating taking a dive into suppressor ownership. Despite the fact that I never actually got a can, I learned a great deal about what…

Modern Hunter Gatherer Techniques

In addition to any crops, livestock, or stockpiles at a long term homestead or retreat you would likely need to supplement your food for protein and calories to some extent. Either due to shortages or as a buffer against future ones. Maybe you're just sick of eggs for the moment so you decide to try something else and pickle the fresh eggs for later. This means leaving your main area to forage for additional food. If things have fallen apart for larger society this will mean people have gotten a lot more desperate and dangerous. If you have a group they can likely only spare a few people from the daily routine for this task. So safety and efficiency are paramount. Here are some thoughts on increasing your success.

First and foremost ALL of us have new things to learn. Tree stands, stalking, driven hunts, calling, tracking, none of us knows everything. Everyone is a student until they die, be a good one.

Archery is invaluable. Ammunition is a consumable while arrows are reusable. If a weapon is lost or damaged a bow is easier to replace than a firearm. A bow hunter or two with side arms backed up by a hunter with a long gun is probably ideal for most hardwoods.

Vary your firearms. Shotguns are incredibly versatile for hunting but the ammo is bulky and uses a lot of resources to reload. Straight wall cartridges lack range but are far more forgiving to handload/reload than bottleneck cartridges. However those longer range rifles provide a capability not found in the others. Seasons and migrating game dictate that there is no one-gun solution. Rotate tools as needed.

Traps, especially live traps are the most efficient way to catch small game. Fish traps are especially useful in this scenario as they are quite discreet once set. Birds, hogs, just about everything has been trapped over time and compiling a binder of different types and designs for future use is a good idea. I personally do not consider snares and leg hold traps as ethical, please research any tool you intend to use.

New battery, solar, and micro hydro technologies continue to advance and many electronics can be used without a power or cell grid. Game cameras to monitor animal populations, short wave radios for communications, repeaters increase range for both. Specialized lights for tracking wounded game or IDing tree'd game at night. Hunters have been very creative in the last hundred years and many tools exist.

Food plots help everyone. If you plant native or naturalized edible plants I'm the woods it feeds game and promotes biodiversity. You can even just put wood in damp, dark areas and cultivate nontoxic mushrooms for later. Just be careful but to introduce invasive species or diseases.

Positive identification is not a luxury, it is a necessity. You do not want to kill or maim something that wasn't your intended target. You don't want to eat or serve a mushroom, or berry, etc that's poisonous. Also learn the signs of disease in plants and animals.

Fruit that has fallen from bushes and trees is likely already rotting, and even if it isn't you need to take the same precautions as with ground vegetables.

Learn how your equipment works, learn what it needs to keep working. In addition to maintenance, you may find that making your own arrows, fishing tackle, or ammunition can be a rewarding hobby.

I dreamed I was in a modern military shooter that kind of started normally but quickly went to zombie apocalypse. I was like dreaming of missions and story beats that dictated your starting weapons for each mission, like I don’t remember what the guy said but he handed me a shotgun and that was going to replace my pistol for the next “mission”. Also. It was realistic. So. It was part game part I am actually handloading guns and shooting at real zombies. I woke up trying to load a shotgun…

Because I am petty, all caseless ammunition used by humans in my scifi setting (apart from handloads) is manufactured by a company called Phantom.

so, assuming that those following me aren't well versed in gun stuff (especially gun history), here's a minor history lesson followed by a melt down. click the read more at your own discretion, as this guy's pretty long.

so: as it pertains to revolver handgun cartridges, a "special" round is what we call the weaker, older forms of a handgun round that we used to load with black powder. the most common special cartridge is the .38 special, which then got elongated by a few milimeters and loaded with modern, more powerful smokeless powder to create the .357 magnum (magnum being the catch all term for "powerful relative to its class, a .357 mag is powerful for a handgun round, a .300 win mag is powerful relative to it being a long action full powered rifle round, so on). i think the other, less common but still generally available "special" round would be the .44 special, which is the same deal as the .38 special but for the .44 magnum. they took this old black powder cartridge, lengthened it up by a bit so that you couldn't put the newer, more powerful round in an older, weakshit little baby gun since it Just Wouldn't Fit, so on.

now, i'm of the opinion that it's asinine to buy a gun that's exclusively in a special caliber. as far as i'm aware, every gun you can shoot .357 magnum in is capable of safely shooting .38 special, though with things other than revolvers you might run into issues feeding. the same goes for .44 mag, so on. that's like, one of the main benefits of a rimmed cartridge; headspacing is on the rim so if there's sufficient room, you can get a bit wacky with the rounds you're using (for instance you can generally shoot .22 short or .22 long in a .22 LR even though the average gun owner would be like "what the fuck is a .22 long" if you told them that). so if you're buying a handgun in the modern day, there's no god damn reason to get one exclusively in .38 special when it works (at least effectively) identically in a .357 mag revolver. there's definitely something to be said for the efficacy of using a weaker cartridge in a gun designed for a significantly higher power level, since you're gonna get less recoil, less muzzle blast, and less wear on the gun itself due to less Shit being exerted on it. but here's where i originally wanted to go with this rant:

why the FUCK did they design .500 S&W as its own revolver caliber, and then WORK BACKWARDS AND MAKE A GOD DAMN SPECIAL VERSION OF IT. that just makes it worse!!! i definitely think that if you're a handloader and you want .38 special performance, you could very easily (and arguably beneficially) use .357 magnum brass and just load it to be the same power level as a .38. the point of this would be to help with feeding in .357 magnum firearms that aren't revolvers (like lever actions) while still attaining that .38 special performance (good for suppressors due to being subsonic, and you can definitely get suppressors on most lever actions these days). the .38 special, in this case, if it were never made but the fates had aligned that .357 magnum was still to be made, i'd argue that'd actually be beneficial because you'd be able to feed the same thing in Literally Everything, and you could still down load it because again, there are situational advantages to a lower power level. so AGAIN, why WORK BACKWARDS from a magnum to a special round when you could just, and hear me out here, MAKE REDUCED RECOIL LOADS A NORMAL PART OF THE DAMN GUN. THATS A THING YOU CAN JUST DO. and ALSO, it's KINDA FUCKING STUPID that you're making a big fuckin deal out of how big this damn gun is, and how it's the most powerful handgun in the world and this and that, only to make a less powerful version of it. buddy, if i wanted a revolver that could do both really fuckin powerful and light recoiling, i'd just get a .44. this is supposed to be a guy for people who want MAXIMUM POWER, and this is kinda counterintuitive to that!!

this definitely got away from me and it doesn't actually make me like. Genuinely Angry. it's just something that's fucking stupid. i don't hate it, hate's a strong word and while strong is the best thing something can be, nothing about this topic is best and nothing about this topic is strong. except maybe your wrists if you fire enough .500 S&W

Performance Report 26/10

Missed 6/30 shots. Not my best performance. Feels like I'm 14 and learning to shoot long distance again. I don't like it. Defo room for improvement. 10mph wind from NW facing west. No crosswinds. 165gr .30-06 handload. REPORT: 500yd: 5/5 800yd: 5/5 1000yd: 5/5 1200yd: 5/5 1400yd: 5/5 1600yd: 3/5 1800yd: 1/5 Fit enough to get back to work but my shoulder sure fucking hurts. No more driving today though. Think I overdid it and I can feel the bruise forming. What callous I had has softened apparently and it hurts like a motherfucker. Getting weird spasms in my bicep so I'm just gonna hunker down and stay here for the night. Drive tomorrow when the bruise settles in.

UPDATE 27/10

I did not end up driving today. I'm sitting in front of the fire with a beer and my laptop and relaxing. Feet up and warm. Feels nice. Gonna bathe tomorrow evening and then I'll drive back. I'll return at full strength around 6mPST. As of this arvo I'm sporting a nice red-purple mark on my left shoulder suspiciously in the shape of Winnie's butt over my armpit where my arm meets my body. It's probably gonna be blued by tomorrow morning since I can already see the colour starting to shift. Hurts whenever I shift my arm. The spasms have stopped and I'll be clear to drive tomorrow but for now I don't want to use this arm for a bloody thing. 😅

4 Practical Reasons to Start Handloading Your Own Ammunition

Are you a competitive shooter, hunting guide, or firearm aficionado? Do you spend considerable time each week putting rounds downrange? If so, you should really consider getting into reloading.

Handloading your own ammunition isn’t as time-consuming as you might think once you get your feet under you. Like anything else, you’ll have to invest a little time and money upfront, but there’s no question that doing your own reloading pays dividends over the long term.

Some folks just do it for fun, even if you don’t see them at the range as often as other shooters. But in addition to the enjoyment many people get from reloading their own ammunition, here’s a look at four practical reasons to get started.

Tailor Rounds to Your Firearm or Specific Need

Whereas you’ll get one-size-fits-all ammunition from the factory, handloading allows you to improve performance by customizing your rounds. From bullet seating to sizing cases, there’s a lot you can do to create the perfect load, even for classic or obsolete rifles that don’t handle modern ammunition well.

Handloading allows you to produce wildcat rounds, load cheap rounds for plinking, and zero in on the perfect fit for your favorite firearm in virtually any caliber, from 30-30 Winchester to 7x57 Mauser and everything in between.

Save Money

This is a big one, especially when events unfold that cause the price of ammunition to skyrocket. If you stock up on reloading supplies when prices are low, you can save considerable cash in the long run. In this sense, reloading is similar to a lot of other DIY work: If you put in the labor yourself, you won’t have to pay for someone else to do it.

Reloading isn’t limited to rifle and handgun cartridges, either. You can also reload shotgun shells, allowing you to save money on .410, 20 gauge, and 12 gauge ammo.

Minimize Your Dependence on the Supply Chain

As if price hikes aren’t bad enough, we’ve all been through ammunition shortages as well. Availability issues like these cause headaches for everyone, but for high-volume shooters, shortages can really throw a wrench into the works.

But with the ability to reload your own ammunition, you can minimize the impacts of shortages or delays that would otherwise cost you money and possibly even opportunities to compete.

Become a Smarter Shooter

This one might sound like a stretch, but think about it—as you get into handloading, you’ll learn more about ballistics, firearm performance, and other critical aspects of shooting. That’s the kind of know-how that can help elevate you from a journeyman to a master, regardless of whether you use .223, .45 ACP, or 5.56 ammo most often.

The more you know about your firearm, your cartridges, and how they work together, the better decisions you’ll make when it comes to putting rounds downrange. As long as you’re careful with your quality control, handloading can help you take your proficiency to a whole new level.
