Please Note: All reloading activity should be done in strict accordance of the manufacturers' specifications printed in their manuals.

Inherently, reloading ammunition can be dangerous even in new weapons - Adding to this ammunition risk, many milsurp weapons are often well over half a century old with no knowledge of their maintenance and modifications over the many years while in civilian ownership. Milsurps.com does not endorse or take responsibility for discharging any weapon.
