Adventure One

In this episode, Pliny discusses some of the difficulties of reloading when components are in high demand and hard to find. With a little bit of creativity and flexibility (As long as you are still being safe and conservative) you can use some unusual combinations to still achieve the results you are wanting. Pliny got started loading 9mm practice ammunition, but quickly ran out of small pistol primers. When some small MAGNUM pistol primers started showing up in retail stores, Pliny was able to use them by reducing the powder charge to create a safe working load. DO NOT ever duplicate someone's recipe without "working up" and conservative testing. Always be safe and conservative when reloading, especially when using unusual combinations that are not recommended in any reloading manual.
