Safety Tips for Reloading Ammunition

Reloading Supplies

Reloading ammunition is fairly easy and requires no special skills or advanced knowledge. Using top quality materials from Titan Reloading will help the process go smoothly and enable you to save money over time by reloading your own ammo.

The following are safety tips designed to help you stay safe and continue reloading ammunition for years to come.

Safety Glasses

Regular prescription glasses will not completely protect your eyes from an accidental primer explosion or other debris. Proper safety glasses have side shields and an apron. They come in prescription and non-prescription styles, as well as models that fit over standard glasses. Safety glasses are necessary for anyone in the room during the process of loading primers in casings.

Keep Reloading Space Clean

Start the reloading process with a clean counter and bench area. Organize components and gears, and keep only the materials needed in each step on the bench. It is crucial to property label containers to avoid accidentally mixing the wrong materials.

Take Your Time, Avoid Distractions

Reloading your own ammunition is a time-consuming task that needs your complete and undivided attention. Rushing the process will lead to costly and dangerous results. Work on your reloading only when you have enough time to do it properly at your pace. Turn off the television, put away your phone, and get down to business in peace and quiet. Never attempt to reload ammunition when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Keep Primers, Powder Away from Heat Source

Powder and primer are to be kept clear of heat sources and electrical power, and there is no smoking allowed in the area. Extra care needs to be taken when handling the canister tubes, which could explode if dropped.

Reloading Scale

There are scales on the market for all kinds of uses and applications. Reloading scales are specifically designed for weighing and reading of materials in the reloading process. Kitchen or postage scales are not calibrated to measure the kinds of materials with the precision necessary for reloading ammo.

Before weighing powder, make sure the reloading scale is free of dust and other debris that will alter the accuracy of the weigh.

Avoiding Lead Exposure

Excessive exposure to lead is hazardous to your health. Steps need to be taken to avoid unnecessary exposure to the metallic lead elements used in reloading ammunition.

  • Wash hands after handling ammunition materials
  • Avoid eating or drinking
  • Do not touch your face
  • Ensure proper ventilation and avoid inhaling reloading room dust
  • Use a face mask when cleaning up and emptying cases
  • Avoid reloading in carpeted areas, as carpet collects lead particles and results in potentially damaging static electricity

Use a Manual, Keep Records

Reloading manuals provide specific instructions for caliber recipes. It is essential to follow instructions to the letter. Keep the manual open to the cartridge type and size you are reloading for easy reference throughout the process.

Titan Reloading is dedicated to helping novice and veteran shooting enthusiasts safely and properly reload their own ammunition every time. A wide range of safety and procedural videos, and additional instructional information is available at TitanReloading.com, as well as the best prices for quality reloading supplies and equipment.

Advantages and Lifestyle With the Right Reloading Supplies

reloading equipment

When shooting firearms is a hobby, you tend to go through a lot of ammo and want your shots to be accurate. While we take great pride in being your premier source for reloading supplies, we also share your firearms lifestyle.

The firearms lifestyle means different things to different people. You could be a well traveled big-game hunter, or spend your time at precision rifle matches, or time with your kid plunking holes in cans at a country gravel pit. It’s about choosing the lifestyle you want.

Lifestyle tip: label all the ammo you reload by powder charge and type. As you gain experience, you progress from lighter loads to maximum loads. You’ll learn what to expect each step along the way.

Reloading Supplies for Advanced Accuracy and Fun

Retail ammunition is designed to meet the requirements and preform acceptably in the majority of guns. It’s not optimized for the high-caliber performance and applications you aim to achieve. With carefully selected reloading supplies, you will obtain more velocity and enhance loads to work best in the exact gun and conditions you’ll be firing.

Something that has happened to many of us country life lovers is running low on ammunition when dozens of miles from a sporting store. You call it a day instead of making a round trip for more ammunition. Never have it happen again when you have your reloading supplies right there with you.

Master Distributors of Lee Precision Reloading Supplies and Equipment

Lee Precision Reloading Supplies

Reloading equipment requires exacting standards to function correctly.Whether you’re a beginner or highly experienced reloader, you’ll find no better line of reloading supplies than Lee Precision (since 1958).

Reloading Basics

If you want to both save 60% (or more) on ammo and shoot 1/2-inch groups at 100 yards, reloading your own ammo is the way to go.

Reloading your own ammo enables accurately controlling the amount of powder for custom rounds matching the needs of your firearm. By controlling the speed of the bullet going through the barrel, you reduce barrel whip for improved accuracy. You don’t have to optimize every round but it’s cool that you can.

This is a general overview of the reloading ammo process that isn’t caliber specific.

  1. Deprime the casing using a reamer to resize or a cleaner tool.
  2. Prime the cartridge using hand tools or integrate it into the first sizing stage .
  3. Add powder (usually with standalone powder measurer or part of a press).
  4. Add a bullet and press/crimp it into the case.

Lee Precision Reloading Supplies and Equipment

As Master Distributors, Titan Reloading carries the full line of Lee Precision Reloading Products. This includes kits, parts, and accessories; along with service and replacement parts.

  • The Lee Breech Lock Challenger 50th Anniversary Kit is suitable for both the beginner and the experienced. You add the appropriate die set(s) for the caliber(s) you will reload. This kit will work for both rifle and pistol cartridges.
  • The Lee Deluxe Challenger Kit 60th Anniversary is perfect for anyone starting out but who wants more than the basics. This includes the best accessories at a lower price than what others charge for a “basic kit.”With this and a set of Lee dies, you’ll never outgrow the kit.
  • The Lee Classic Turret Press Kit and a set of Lee dies is everything you need to begin reloading. This one is fast and convenient when loading handgun cartridges. With some experience, it’s quite possible to reload 250 rounds per hour.

You’ll find that both Titan Reloading and Lee Precision have similar goals that correspond with our customers. These kits and other reloading supplies are the highest quality, made completely in the U.S.A., and are very affordable.

Since launching our website in 2010, we attribute our success to two basic principles – Service and Support. As Master Distributors of Lee Precision reloading supplies, we present the details at a level no one else does. For beginning reloaders this is more than valuable.

Reloading is a Rewarding Process

Think about any car mechanic or automobile enthusiast that you know or may have heard of.

If you’re just starting out in this hobby then you have come to the right place, as reloading is another aspect of shooting that provides a sense of satisfaction.

5 Tips for Beginners and Experts about Reloading

reloading equipment

The founding fathers and the brave men who fought the American Revolution were often forced to melt down scrap pieces of lead and forge their own rounds just to be able to survive.
Those same values are what derive a modern reloader to craft their own ammunition today. So, to keep you on that path, here are our 5 best tips and tricks about reloading for both beginners and experts alike.

  1. The Size of Your Workspace Doesn’t Matter

    Space in your home comes at a premium. Some are blessed with large basements and buildings where square footage is no object. Others may only have a studio apartment. Thankfully reloading doesn’t require a large amount of space.
    A reloading bench only needs to be large enough to fit the essentials and wide enough for you to sit behind it. Don’t let a lack of space be the reason you don’t pursue reloading.

  2. Use a Single Stage Press

    One of the biggest mistakes made by beginners is the drive to go out and buy the biggest, the best, and the most expensive equipment on the market. This is akin to buying a Ferrari before you learn to drive.
    A single stage press can handle all your needs as a beginner, and it’s a great place to start your journey. Even experts benefit from these simple presses with many turning to them for high precision loads.

  3. The Scale is Very Important

    When it comes to reloading supplies, the scale for powder measure is the most important component. This is a piece of equipment where quality and price matters. Spend the money to get a high-quality scale. There is no point in the reloading process where you should be as precise as when measuring your powder load.
    Too much, and you have a hot round capable of inflicting damage to both you and the firearm.
    Too little, and you end up with weak loads that will greatly affect your accuracy, range, and efficiency.

  4. Cartridge Gauges

    Nothing will infuriate a firearms enthusiast like rounds that fail to load, fire or eject. In the world of semi-automatics, this is an ever-present threat.
    These handy little tools will ensure that your cartridges are within the extremely tight margins that semi-autos commands to routinely load, fire and eject.
    Even for those of you reloading revolver rounds, ensuring tolerance shouldn’t be an afterthought. Revolvers are more likely to chamber and fire a round that isn’t within specs, but you should be striving for perfection, and that means gauging your rounds.

  5. Ask for Help

    People that reach the top of their fields all get there with help and coaching. Regardless of your skill level, do not be afraid to ask for help or a second opinion. The only way to further your reloading expertise is with practice and help from others.

Reloading supplies can be a maze of products, terminology, and techniques; therefore the expert staff at Titan Reloading is always ready to help.To learn more or inquiries about the multitude of reloading products we carry please visit www.TitanReloading.com or contact us at 262.397.8819.
