Chapter 1: How can I effectively track my reloading collection?

0.031 - 25.574 Unknown

Stop using spreadsheets. Track your collection with serial numbers, pictures, and more. Log your round counts, store NFA paperwork securely, and even help your family after you're gone with our WidowView. Upgrade your digital armory today at PewLocker, P-E-W dot locker. Standard disclaimer, folks. You probably will hear from episode to episode recipes for what we do.

25.774 - 49.252 Unknown

Remember, we're telling you what we do. We're not telling you what you should do. What you should do is you should stick with published loads. So, you know, we disavow any responsibility for damages done because you might not be following a safe and careful reloading practice that Jeremy or I or Jason or Trevor or Mike might be following.

Chapter 2: What safety precautions should I follow while reloading?

49.813 - 88.375 Unknown

And it could possibly be the fact that you might have a tighter chamber. You might have a looser rifling. You might not get the velocity we do, or you might get more. If you're going to take an... Reload, understand, you're responsible for what you do. We are not.

88.642 - 111.566 Host

Hello! Welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network. Today, we shall be speaking about the Frankfurt Arsenal FX-10 and maybe some Black Friday specials coming. But we never get the Black Friday show out in time for the Black Friday ads, so we're not going to spend as much time as we used to until we get caught.

111.586 - 121.133 Unknown

There's some really bad Ronan Martin-quality German World War II Nazi accents for you. Anyway.

122.334 - 124.557 Unknown

So, how you been?

125.479 - 129.224 Paul

I've been hanging in there. Been hanging in there. Been busy here.

129.664 - 131.927 Unknown

Yeah? Yep. Good busy or bad busy?

132.508 - 136.714 Paul

My wife has me making sourdough bread right now.

137.074 - 140.439 Unknown

How's that going for you?

Chapter 3: What are the benefits of using the Frankfurt Arsenal FX-10?

369.982 - 390.551 Chris

Yes, no bull. Been up, when did the bull season start? Mid-October. Been up as much as I can, basically every weekend. Took a few days off here and there. There has been no sign of elk anywhere. I've been all over my brother-in-law's ranch. He basically said they haven't seen any elk for the most part since the end of September.

0

390.951 - 399.263 Chris

But you still see people come down from other ranches, so it could be just a matter of where they're currently feeding and finding water, what have you.

0

399.412 - 400.656 Paul

you get any snow to move them?

0

Chapter 4: What Black Friday deals are available for reloading supplies?

401.198 - 411.76 Chris

No. We had one, I think I sent a picture to you guys, that was a dusting that we had one time overnight. Other than that, it's It's already gone. There's no accumulation anywhere.

0

411.78 - 415.384 Paul

They don't move without snow.

0

415.404 - 437.028 Chris

Yeah, and that's what I was kind of hoping. We had a cold front come through this last weekend, so I was kind of hoping that might push them a little bit from the higher stuff down to the lower elevation up on the mountain. But at the same time, it's still pretty like this weekend. I think when I went out, it was in the 30s, but by midday, it was in the mid-60s. It is what it is.

0

437.068 - 447.122 Chris

Elk season doesn't end until the end of December, so the bull tag now converts to a cow-calf, so I now have two cow-calf tags, and Stacy's got a cow-calf.

0

447.322 - 449.926 Paul

Good, good. How about deer? Any deer moving?

451.187 - 472.484 Chris

We've got deer all over the place around us, but I didn't put in for a deer tag. White-tailed or muleys? Muleys. There's some whitetail up towards the in-laws ranch up there, but when it comes to deer and antelope, we tend to put in for our property just because by the time we get done work, it's easier just to grab the rifle, go out on our area bridge and see if we can see something.

472.705 - 474.407 Paul

But you got all kinds of them on your place.

474.59 - 489.814 Chris

Yeah, but Stacy was weird. Stacy didn't draw her deer tag. I put it in for antelope. And then one of the neighbor's ranches actually had some antelope hunters. And yeah, it's just, and you could tell this guy was guiding some first time hunters.

489.794 - 519.362 Chris

just by watching them and so and there was an older guy probably in his 70s that we literally watched from our back deck this old guy felt bad for him because obviously a young new guy he gave him a rifle that was way too heavy for the guy got him within 150 yards of this antelope and he just held that rifle up so long you could start seeing it do this he took a shot and it Stacy saw the impact it was well over the antelope and of course they just whoop

Chapter 5: How can I upgrade my reloading setup?

609.812 - 620.593 Chris

I got some little touch-up paint in the pantry. I converted the old reloading room over to our pantry because I'm not all up in the bonus room. I'll go figure. You run out of space real quick.

0

620.913 - 623.498 Paul

Oh, yeah. Three, yeah.

0

623.731 - 649.414 Chris

And so I converted that over to all the built-in shelves, complete wraparound, put our gun safe in there, built that in. So good luck if somebody breaks in the house trying to get that out. If you get that out of the house and out of there, you've earned it. But yeah, I told Stacey, I go, if you fill this pantry up, we need to rethink what we're doing as far as prepping and storing.

0

650.175 - 668.32 Chris

And I think she took that as a challenge accepted. Because literally, we'll stock up on stuff because there's always a chance that the road gets shut down because of snow or whatever. So we get a lot of things that will last for a while. And I walked in there and I was like, crap, we have no space for anything now. How did it get this full?

0

668.46 - 668.52

Oh.

670.576 - 674.702 Paul

Okay. Last question for you. Have you reordered your lathe yet?

675.202 - 699.616 Chris

No. No. I'm at that point. Probably good. Because I've got a good friend that's a gunsmith. He's actually making suppressors. He's got his own line of suppressors. And I've kind of partnered with him that if I need a barrel spun or something, I can just, he'll put it in, get it spun up for me. There you go. Is he going to teach you? He said if I wanted to, but I was like, I ain't got no time.

699.636 - 699.756 Paul

Learn.

701.002 - 705.689 Chris

It's just trying to find time because you work full-time, then you're running around.

Chapter 6: What are the latest trends in ammunition and reloading?

925.998 - 931.063 Unknown

Uh, yeah. Looks like all they do is air rifles and air pistol. I don't see any firearms for that.

0
0

932.172 - 936.115 Unknown

I'm trying to squirrel a little bit of money away so I can get some memory upgraded on this.

0

936.476 - 937.056 Host

Mac Mini.

0

937.557 - 958.935 Unknown

And in the background, I'm listening to the Red Wings going off on the Kraken. By the way, anybody listening... Oh, never mind. It'll probably be gone by the time. I was going to say, one of our listeners that's in Discord is looking to get rid of a safe. Nice Fort Knox. Nothing in Sportsman's Warehouse. Real King looks like they do pre-Black Friday.

959.356 - 980.832 Unknown

So they don't actually do a Black Friday and all that fun stuff. So Fleet Farm, got a couple of 20. They've got the Rock Island 22, and then they've got the Rock Island single-shot shotguns on sale for $90. If you're looking for a drop gun, they've got the Taurus G3C for $190. By the way, that is ghetto mag capable.

981.954 - 1007.792 Unknown

For those of you who don't know what ghetto mag capable means, it does take the... 29-rounder from that deep-ass company. Anyway. I forgot to look. Are we actually successfully live on Rumble? It appears we're not. I did it the same way I did it last week. Last week we were live. This week we're not. Frickin' Rumble. Anyway, let's close that window space here. Ice shanties. Vexillars.

1009.995 - 1038.252 Unknown

Hunting blinds. Tree stands. Cameras. Although, honestly, if you're looking for a cellular trail camera, there really isn't anything I can recommend other than the Cabela's for $100. It's literally a Tacticam innards. Customer support is provided by Tacticam. Tacticam built the app and everything. The pictures are amazing, and they just work. And the cell signal is amazing, so.

1038.62 - 1068.693 Unknown

Looks like Fleet Farm's got some guns on sale. They've got the Woodstock Ruger 10-22s for $200. Ooh, that's not a bad deal. Winchester SXPs, if you're looking for an entry-level 12-gauge, $189.99. And the SXPs are a good solid gun. The barrels hold up well, even if you put slugs through your turkey choke. But they do bulge. They've got the Athlon Rangecraft for $299.99. That was what I saw.

Chapter 7: How can I improve my shooting accuracy with reloaded ammunition?

1265.088 - 1296.313 Unknown

1296.633 - 1312.233 Unknown

They've got Winchester Super X II or Super X ammo on sale for $0.08 a round. That's not a... Now, $0.04 a round, that'd be a deal. For .22? Yeah. That's what prices I want. Actually, I want cheaper.

0

1312.254 - 1313.595 Paul

And he wants to shoot Ely, too.

0

1314.036 - 1339.2 Unknown

1396.483 - 1397.925 Paul

No, those are, I think, the AR ones.
