Getting my feet wet

Well, It's time for me to get into reloading. i have been reading around and got one book so far (lyman 49th edition and other small books).

From what i have read is that it isn't really hard. reminds me of my last job of doing machine work. Yeah, not the same but alot of QC then the actually making it. Seems pretty forward and conman sense it goes over.

I saw the post about the reloading and examples of the set up you can get. What i would really like is that if i can get someone local or so and show me how everything works and so on. Before i drop some money into a set up. Not sure if anyone has the time to show me the ropes.

Not sure why i have been waiting so long to start this since i kinda am trigger happy with my ar

I will be looking to reload the following cal.
5.56/223
.270
9mm
.45 auto
and probable more later on

So any help would be grateful

..hope this makes sense and not all blah, blah, blah..

Sorry I'm not anywhere near you. but your right. It's not difficult you just need to be detail oriented. small mistakes can lead to big KABOOMS.

Just a reminder that when measuring powder your measuring to .1 grains and there are 7000 grains to a pound. a little powder goes a long long way.

A warning. Reloading is very addictive and there is no known cure.

I'm over in Center Valley- if you're willing to stop by, I'd be more than happy to show you what reloading is all about. I've had the pleasure of hosting a couple of PAFOA members so far....I'd like to teach about 50 guys to reload!
PM / email if you're interested.

Sweet, Yeah. I have no problem in drive down but this week really sucks with my schedule. So basically whenever you have time after this week would be great. I never like learning by myself, reminds too much of home school which i hated but due family issue i had no choice.

But anyway, like i said whenever you have time after this week would be great

Trex. I'm in the same boat this week, but email or PM me next week and we'll make some arrangements. I enjoy folks learning, and want to teach all I can.
