I'm looking for a few good, general purpose Reloading Forums that you guys might know of. My biggest interest is in common pistol calibers and .223/5.56.

I'm pretty comfortable with the basics, and I'm not looking for the 1,000 yard benchrest type site. My handgun shooting will be up to 50 yards, and rifle up to 200 yards. I'm planning to reload for recreation, cost savings, and range accuracy.

I am looking at THR's Reloading Forum already, so any other suggestions?

Thanks

I don't know of a particular forum. However you can check YouTube for reloading videos. Some are really good and some are bad. You can figure out the smart ones. I have even found out a couple of tricks I didn't know. I use the .223 in my AR-15, Mini-14, and T/C pistol. Its a great round.

It isn't limited to just reloading, but a lot (did I mention A LOT) of reloading is discussed at CastBoolits.gunloads.com and if you are looking to reload to save money (or really to be able to shoot a lot more for the same $$), a natural course of progress would take you to casting your own.  CastBoolits is probably THE best source of shooting cast boolits (bullets) you could find anywhere.  The knowledge base found there is second to none.

Steve, with a good load, there's no reason you can't extend your handgun range.  I don't even give 100 meters a second thought anymore.  Just gotta find out what your gun likes.

Stickman,

 

Thanks for the castboolits suggestion.  Since Steve was so kind to ask this question, many of us may benefit from the answers...
