This list is for those who enjoy the hobby of handloading/reloading and wish to share their favorite recipes, talk with other experienced loaders, and generally be able to tap into the vast amount of experience available in this field.

New members will be moderated. As soon as you establish yourself as a participant, you will be moved to unmoderated status.

A few rules:

1. If somebody posts something you don't like, delete it or ignore it. I'll handle the problem postings.

2. This is a family-friendly list; do not use profanity on the list.

3. Dillon vs Lee: Forget it.

4. A few "for sale" posts are fine...but don't turn this into Ebay. Please put "FS" or "WTB" in your subject line.

5. Political discourse should be kept to a minimum...emergencies excepted (yes, this does happen from time-to-time). Internet myths are not emergencies. RKBA posts are never on-topic here...there are other lists for those. No NRA bashing on this list.

6. If someone attacks you or says something personally affrontive to you, PLEASE RESPOND to them OFF-LIST...we don't want to hear all the whining.

7. TYPING IN ALL-CAPS IS NOT "YELLING", anymore than typing in lower-case is whispering.

8. We will no longer discuss the use of handloaded ammunition for self-defense or concealed carry. See the archive for details. Consult your local attorney for legal advice on this issue.
