New guy on the forum. Glad to be here and greetings to all. I do have a question. I have been reloading for years and shoot a lot of mil surp rifles and ammo. As most of you know, the surplus ammo is not too accurate. I have a bunch of 8MM, .303, 7.62X54R and was wondering if anybody has ever tried pulling the bullets and reloading with modern powder. If so, how did it shoot?

Moderator note: I made a copy of this post for SGRAVESOK and put it in the "Ammunition and Reloading for Old Milsurps" forum. Please respond to his question in that forum. Thanks.

Greetings All!
Just found and registered to this site. I have been an active collector/reloader/shooter for 40 years. My collecting has changed over the years and my current focus and most enjoyable one so far are European Military Rifles from the transitional era of roughly 1866 to 1900. I maintain and shoot a moderate sized collection of rifles and some carbines. I do a lot of reloading for obsolete calibers. I also have an ever growing library of reference books on arms in my collection and look to add to it when I can. As a hobby/business I do some restoration and repairs to both firearms as well as edged weapons. I am retired and thus have much more time to devote to my interests and am always looking to make new contacts and to share what I have with others. I am looking forward to being a member of this site! Thank you, Joe

I live in the UK and have been a collector and researcher of British military ammo for over forty years. I also write on British military small arms, particularly the First WEorld War period. I am currently looking for a good SMLE or P.14 to shoot in competition here.

Can't really say that I'm a new member, per se -- I've been an avid reader of this board for several months. But I am finally getting around to making my first post. Happy Milsurping.

Hi Guys, I live in Nova Scotia. I got my first gun 31 years ago( It's well worn but I still own it GRIN) and have been into gun collecting for 23 years now. I used to work occasionally with a dealer when I was a young teen and got to handle many military guns both common guns and exotic including virtually all types of SMG's, both Light and heavy machine guns and assault rifles. I was a very fortunate boy to have had that experience and will never forget those days. I'm on the CGN forum as well under the same user name. Great site here fellas and I have had the opportunity to purchse items from a few fellow members as well.
