Reloading!

Why not unlock all ammo types for reloading? It kind of bugs me that I can't press hollow points or non-custom AP rounds.

**Wrong section** :/

Shay, I know you know enough about guns to realize that you just don't melt some lead to make an AP bullet. Now if Gun runners sold the AP or hollowpoint bullitz, and then we pressed them in, that would be OK. Josh specifially stated that the reason he left HP & AP out of the crafting was so that there was something for us to buy from the vendors. He could have just let us buy more frickin' powder, primers, cases and special bullets, too, ya know. Josh? Josh? You hearin' this? Josh? Where the hell's his formspring account................

-gunny out.

I know about AP, but I'm not too concerned about AP rounds as much as I am concerned about Hollow points. I use alot of hollow point rounds especially in the .357 and .44 revolvers and I'd like to be able to press HP rounds for them. With the ability to press .45 auto HP and 10mm JHP rounds I don't see the problem with pressing HP rounds for everything else.

The vendors generally don't carry enough HP rounds for me to stock up when needed.

If they insist on not allowing HP rounds to be pressed, how about some frangibles? Wouldn't need anything more than a standard lead bullet and a knife.

Wait. We can press .45 HP? Hell, I didn't know that. See ya leter, got some gamin' to do.................... :bolt:

PS ( I just think allowing us to buy the AP and HP bullets with higher ammounts of primers and powder from vendors would have accomplished the same thing Josh was trying to do by restricting them.)

I take that back, you can press .45 +P rounds. I was mistaking...

But still though I'd rather press them, and the ability to overcharge them a little (at the cost of weapon condition) for a little bit more oomph would be cool too.

I would rather see craftable 40mm grenades and 12.7mm than AP or hollowpoints.

This. I'd love a more powerful version to craft, or at least buy. Even if it did 1.25 damage, -3 DT and weapon condition x4, I'd still use it.

Get Hand Loader and some of the ammo types are just plain superior 90% of the time. .357, .45-75 Gov't, .308 and .50 custom load are all worth having.
