Hey guys
Is anyone willing to help a poor newbie out with reloading? I have the ingredients to make a round but not the mean or knowledge. Anyone willing to show me the ropes? Hope this is in the right place
thanks all

read lots of reloading books/manual...pay serious attention to the warnings and safety cautions....do not double charge, or go over the max recommended load, start at the minimum or middle of the recommended load (and test it on your gun), watch for signs of pressure when test firing your loads (stop, if there are signs of pressure, ie.really flattened primers, punctured primers, blown cases, etc), do not mix powders, concentrate (do not get distracted), do it slow and cautious at first, double check, check powder level occasionally, pistol powder is for pistol loads, and rifle powder is for rifle loads (there are exceptions, but that's advance level), somebody else's load might not work on your gun,.... be safe

+1 on this
Do yourself and your potential instructor a favor and get a reloading book or two :shaka:
Do alot of reading! There are alot of variation of processing/tooling. Also knowing alot of terminalogy and definitions will help your learning curve significantly :thumbsup:
Good luck and be safe :shaka:
