My learning was trail and error. Through family visites, reunions, I did get to visite with an uncle. I may have primed, expanded, charged or seated 25 to 50 cases per visite. He had all dies set to where they were needed to be. So when I got my press and dies, it was an all new ball game.
First real reloading experience....
I went to SGMJody's this afternoon after work to get started on some .223/5.56 brass. Three hours later we were done with step one. I guess really it is step two because the brass was already cleaned. He weighed it and he guessed it is about 1100 rounds. So, I have it all sized and decapped. Next up will be cleaning case mouths and primer pockets. Then we will polish, charge and seat the bullets. I am excited as I have never done any real reloading. It really helps to have someone who knows what they are doing, as opposed to reading from a book and trial and error. We are going through alot of trouble on this brass, but I have seen some of the groups he fired and it will be well worth it if my rifle is up to the task.
