I started with shotgun shell reloading at your age. Supervision by a trained and trustworthy person is the best advise to give you. Reloading is dangerous and you HAVE TO know what you are doing.

I started reloading the .270 in 1962.....I was lucky enough to have two elders to coach me. Both are gone now.....

Absolutely...get involved in reloading...it'll be with you for a lifetime.

I recommend reloading but only if you have an experience reloader to guide you through it. Like Vapodog said, it will be with you for a lifetime. Good luck and be safe.

Any competant adult can handload ammunition safely. Adult, by the way, is not an age, it is an attitude. If you can read and comprehend, and are detail oriented, you wil do fine. It is an advantage to have an experienced coach help you get started, but it is not absolutely neccessary.
My advice to you is to invest in a couple of books.
I recommend the Lyman realoading manual, and Richard Lee's Modern Reloading. Both are excellant resources, filled with a lot of valuble information about handloading. Chapters on primers, cases, bullets, powder, etc.

Sure, like the rest of the handloaders said, as long as you get proper guidance. Go to www.grafs.com www.midwayusa.com www.cabelas.com www.natchezss.com www.lockstock.com for tools and components. Good luck.

You bet!! It's the only way to get the best possible ammo! I started reloading (.30/'06) at age 13, but I had had a lot of applicable experience from loading muzzleloading rifles, before that! Everything I know about guns & ammo I taught myself, never had any help/guidance from anyone, except the Lyman/Ideal Handbook to begin with and later a lot of other good reference material (American Rifleman, Handloader Mag., Rifle Mag., P.O. Ackley's books, Townsend Whelen's books, Phil Sharpe's "COMPLETE GUIDE TO HANDLOADING", Elmer Keith & Jack O'Connor's books, and Bob Hagels's book on Game Loads & Practical Ballistics for the American Hunter! Also, get a copy of Hatcher's Notebook, and READ, READ, READ!!.

As long as you can read and are willing to read, and willing to follow instructions, you'll have no problems! Just stay away from heavy loads until you learn the basics!! Pay close attention to the small details, and

HAVE FUN!!

I started reloading in 1972. I would recommend it to eveyone. I didn't have anyone to teach me so I read all the manuals and started out very carefully. There are some good Vidios that I have seen playing at Scheels and other gun shops. They take it one step at a time and were very clear to follow. One of these would be a great help in getting started. Good luck its a great hobby.
