New Product Lines
We are very excited to announce the addition of two major product lines, Frankford Arsenal and Tipton to FS Reloading. These are just two of the brands with which we fell in love at the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trades (SHOT) Show held in Las Vegas, Nevada this past January.
Most veteran reloaders are familiar with the famous initials "FA" on military .30-06 Springfield brass - and for good reason. The original Frankford Arsenal Army Ammunition Plant was constructed in 1816 on 20 acres of land purchased by United States President James Madison. It was the center of U.S.. military small arms ammunition design and development until 1977 when it was closed. While unrelated to the original, today's Frankford Arsenal carries on in the same spirit by offering well-designed and quality products.
Frankford Arsenal brand tools complement perfectly our core line of Lee Precision reloading presses and dies. From the very affordable Quick-N-EZ Bullet Puller to the very important sonic cleaners and case cleaning tumblers, Frankford Arsenal products can help round out your reloading set up.
After a day hunting or at the range enjoying the shooting sports, everyone needs reliable cleaning tools and supplies to keep their firearms in top condition. Tipton is well known for providing quality gun cleaning products. From jags and bore brushes to gun vises and range boxes, Tipton cleaning products fit the bill perfectly.
Weeks ago, we placed large orders for both Frankford Arsenal and Tipton products. Our staff is doing their best to add them to FS Reloading as they arrive from the factory.
You can find links to all our product lines front-and-center on our home page. Just click on the logo to browse the available products.
The Much Anticipated Lee Quick Trim Is Now In-Stock
The first of many orders of Lee Precision Quick Trim cutters and dies arrived at our warehouse today. I know many of you are eagerly awaiting this fantastic tool. We now have a supply in stock, ready to ship. And since we expect Lee's Quick Trim's will be extraordinarily popular, more are already on order with Lee Precision.
If like our staff, you've been anxiously waiting to get your hands on one of these cool tools, I recommend you log on and place your order now. They are sure to go out the door fast.
We Love To Hear From You
As I'm sure you are aware by now, the shooting industry is experiencing unprecedented demand for almost all products. It is an unusually busy time for everyone in the business, us included. From packing and shipping to the front office, we seem to be running all day with hardly a moment to catch our breath. But in-spite of the current craziness, we still love to receive your emails and telephone calls.
We need your feedback, it helps us improve our operation to better serve you. We enjoy your comments, some of them make us laugh, some make us cry but they all help us get through the day. And we relish your compliments when we get things right.
To all those who've taken time to send us a short note about a problem, post a comment on our Guest Book or talk to us on the phone about any issue, please accept my sincere appreciation and thanks.

Lee Precision New For 2013
The Lee Precision Deluxe Quick Trim (shown in the drawing at left) quickly and precisely trims your brass to the correct length while at the same time it chamfers the inside and outside of the case mouth. This new case trimming system is installed in a special reloading die which holds the trimmer in precise alignment with the case so no calipers, measurement or adjustment is required. Simply install the appropriate quick trim die in your press and start trimming. A click adjustable stop allows trim length adjustment in .001 of an inch increments. The Deluxe Quick Trim is scheduled to be available spring 2013. See my short article "Lee Precision New for 2013" on our web site at fsreloading.com for more details about this and other new products from Lee Precision.
2013 Lee Precision Catalog Available
Lee Precision's new catalog is now online in PDF format for immediate downloading. This most current Lee Precision catalog contains more reloading information than ever before and several new products including the much anticipated “Deluxe Quick Trim” Case Trimmer which is featured prominently on the catalog's cover. Go to fsreloading.com, click on the “Manuals” tab then click on “2013 Lee Precision Catalog (Complete)” to download your copy today.
FS Reloading Ammo Boxes a Big Hit
The recently added line of FS Reloading branded plastic ammo boxes has been a bigger hit than we ever expected. Your support for our ammo boxes has encouraged us to expand the lineup by adding a box designed for automatic pistols and to offer all our boxes in clear and a very cool blue in addition to the original red. The new ammo boxes are being produced at the factory as I write this. I expect them to be on our shelves and ready to ship the first week of January 2013.
2013 SHOT Show®
The National Shooting Sports Foundation's 2013 SHOT Show, the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries, is less than a month away and our staff is excited about attending the world's premier exposition of combined firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics and related products and services. We will be visiting carefully selected exhibitors looking for new and exciting products to bring you in the months ahead. See my short article about our SHOT Show plans on our web site at fsreloading.com and post questions for manufacturer reps. We will do our best to get the answers for you as we talk with exhibitors at the show.
Hunting on the Rise Among Liberals
According to the article “Hipsters Who Hunt” by Emma Marris published recently on slate.com, “Hunting is undeniably in vogue among the bearded, bicycle-riding, locavore set. The new trend might even be partly behind a recent 9 percent increase from 2006 to 2011 in the number of hunters in the United States after years of decline. Many of these new hunters are taking up the activity for ethical and environmental reasons.”
Ms. Marris goes on to explain eating meat you hunt yourself is more ethical not to mention better for you and better for the environment than eating animals that have been confined in small enclosures and dosed with antibiotics and antidepressants in an industrial food system increasingly disconnected from nature. She suggests many left leaning, liberal types are taking up hunting as a way to help protect the environment while enjoying a healthier diet in the bargain. We couldn't agree more.
I encourage you to read the entire article. I'm sure you'll find plenty of ammunition to use in your next conversation with your liberal friends about the merits of hunting versus over-processed, packaged, ready-to-eat meals from your local grocery store.
And finally, thanks for you support during the past year. Our staff appreciates your business and the opportunity to serve your reloading needs. And we all wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Lee Precision Products Back In Stock
We just received a large shipment from Lee Precision including many back-ordered items. Our staff is busy unpacking boxes and restocking shelves in our warehouse as I write this. I encourage you to visit our web site and place your holiday orders now to avoid the last minute rush that is sure to happen as the holiday season approaches. All Lee Precision products including repair parts can be found in the Lee Precision section of fsreloading.com
Newbies Guide Launched with First Article
I am pleased to announce the launch of our online magazine with it's first regular column, “Newbies Guide”, written by Travis Peacock, our resident first-time reloader.
Travis writes in a comfortable, conversational style directly to the beginning reloader because he is one. He uses new equipment currently available from FS Reloading so he revels in the same joys of discovery and suffers the same headaches as you will while wondering "What were those @#$!%@$# engineers thinking when they dreamt up that #@$%#$ thing.
Travis is no expert, but in this case that's a good thing. If there's a way to fumble things up, Travis will find it. You can be sure: if Travis can do it, you can too. Join Travis on his journey of discovery as he learns how to reload his own ammo without blowing himself up. You can find links to the Newbies Guide on fsreloading.com about 2/3 of the way down on the left side of our site.
Country of Origin Added to Product Listings
Like many of you, we care about where the things we buy are made. While it isn't always possible in today's interconnected world to buy only things made in the United States, we still would like to know where things are made before we buy them. Therefore we decided to add “Country of Origin” to the product details displayed on our web site.
THE WILD TURKEY--SYMBOL OF CONSERVATION SUCCESS
The supermarket turkey that will be the focus of tomorrow's Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States is only a distant relative of the wild turkey, a species that almost did not survive in its native land. Connecticut, for example, reportedly had no wild turkeys left as early as 1813. Read about how the Wild Turkey and other endangered species made amazing comebacks in National Sport Shooting Foundation's Symbols of WSFR's 75 Years of Success--a series about Wildlife and Sports Fish Restoration initiatives.

Production at Lee Precision is Lagging Demand
We are once again in the busy season and production at the Lee Precision Factory is running 2 weeks behind demand. In-spite of our best efforts to get ahead of the game, these production delays have resulted in the depletion of some popular items from our inventory.
To reduce shipping costs, we will ship only complete orders once all backordered items arrive from the factory—unless you tell us otherwise. Therefore, if your order includes back ordered items, do nothing and we will ship the complete order as soon as the back ordered items arrive. Or contact us via phone, email or support ticket for other shipping options.
Please include your order # in all correspondence to help us better serve you.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding during this busy season.
GUNVOTE 2012
For citizens of the United States, the upcoming 2012 elections are critically important. Your vote counts! We encourage you to educate yourself about the candidates and where they stand on the issues important to you and then vote for the candidate who will best protect your rights.
It's less than a month until Election Day and many races across the country -- including the presidential race -- are extremely close. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is asking everyone to help spread the word of just how important this year's elections are for gun owners and our industry. As it has in previous elections, the collective vote of shooters, hunters and gun owners will make a huge impact at the polls.
Please join with me and the FS Reloading staff to help promote the NSSF GUNVOTE campaign by placing a GUNVOTE 2012 button like the one shown at left or a GUNVOTE banner on your web site, blog, or Facebook page. Learn more and choose from a selection of gunvote images at nssf.org/gunvote.
As always, thanks for your support.

FIRST SHOTS SECOND ROUND SEMINARS AT USPSA NATIONALS . . .
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and its program for new shooters, First Shots, is offering a free introduction to action pistol shooting through two upcoming First Shots Second Round seminars. Participants can register online for either the Oct. 19 or 20 session being presented at the U.S. Practical Shooting Association Nationals event in Las Vegas. A professional shooter will offer instruction, and by attending the nationals, participants will get to see pros in action. For more information, contact NSSF's First Shots Manager Tisma Juett at tjuett@nssf.org.
MARKING 75 YEARS OF SUCCESS . . .
With only about a week until National Hunting and Fishing Day, now is a fitting time to remind all Americans about the important contributions of hunters and shooters to conservation. Everyone should know the story of how America created the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration (WSFR) initiative that has returned many species to abundance. WSFR is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. NSSF over the next two weeks will feature examples on its website of "un-endangered" species that have been rescued from severe population decline, and some from near extinction. Visit http://www.nhfday.org/ to learn more
A YEAR OF GREAT CHANGES . . .
2012 has been a year of big changes for all of us at Factory Sales. We changed our name from Factory Sales to FS Reloading. We designed, built and deployed a completely new web site. And we moved to a new, 10,000 square foot facility located at 1667 Independence Ave, Hartford, Wisconsin. Our hearts have been warmed by the many “atta-boys” and “pats-on-the-back” we've received. But we are most appreciative of the constructive criticism which continues to help us improve our service to you.
We are very excited about these changes and look forward to many more improvements in the coming months. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this major expansion and look forward to continuing to serve ALL of your reloading needs in the months and years to come.
Thank You,
Greg Ehlenbach

'THE RISE IN GIRLS WITH GUNS' . . .a short report about women and guns which recently aired on CNBC, indicates more women than ever before are becoming gun owners with 47% more women shooting now than 10 years ago. This has contributed to a 14% increase in gun sales overall. If you like watching women TV reporters shoot for the first time, you'll enjoy this short video report from CNBC.
We at FS Reloading have also noticed an increase in sales over previous years causing many popular items like .223 bullets to remain in short supply. However, I am happy to report we have received a large shipment of .223 62 grain pull down bullets. Come and get 'em while they last.
We also received a large shipment from Lee Precision including a number of much sought after Loadmasters. If you've been wanting to upgrade to a progressive press, now is the time. Log on to FS Reloading and order yours today.
And finally, I want to thank all of you, our loyal customers, who have shown great patience and support as we continue to work through the largest expansion of our web site we have ever undertaken. We couldn't do it without you. We are especially grateful for all the helpful comments you've sent through email and support ticket requests. Our web site continues to improve as a result.
Thank you all,
Greg Ehllenbach, President, FS Reloading
We are pleased to report a large shipment of Lee Precision products arrived at our facility this morning. Our staff is working hard to fill as many back orders as possible. However, world-wide demand for Lee Precision products continues to exceed production at the Lee Precision Factory, especially on popular items like pistol caliber Load Masters.
50 BMG Bullets and 50 BMG Brass from Top Brass are now in stock for immediate delivery. However .223 bullets are still on back order.
If you receive a back order notice for any product, please email info@fsreloading.com with your order# and let us know how you would like us to handle your back ordered items so we can best serve your needs. We are happy to cancel back ordered items and refund your payment or, if you prefer, WE WILL HOLD YOUR ORDER until the back ordered items are received from Lee Precision.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding during this busy season.
Greg Ehlenbach, President FS Reloading
We are back in the busy season again. World-wide demand for Lee Precision
products is such that production at the Lee Precision Factory is currently
running 1-2 weeks behind on many popular items. This has resulted in the
depletion of some popular items like 9mm Four Dies Sets and 223 Dies from
our inventory. We are currently shipping back ordered items as soon as they
arrive from the Lee Precision Factory, all other items we are shipping from
our inventory the same day we receive your order Monday-Friday.
If you receive a back order notice please email info@fsreloading.com with
your order# and let us know how you would like us to handle your back
ordered items so we can best serve your needs. We are happy to cancel back
ordered items and refund your payment, hold your order until the back
ordered items are received from Lee Precision and ship your complete order
at that time or ship the available items immediately and the back ordered
items when they arrive.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your
patience and understanding during this busy season.

As part of this process we have completely redesigned our web site to better serve you, our customers.
