You have recieved good advice,just remember read,read,and read more. You will learn something every day. Besides its fun,but be safe and triple check everything you do at first. A mistake could be costly in many ways.Speaking of cost,it cheaper than factory ammo,and one can work up loads that you can,t buy on the market. Its a lot of fun to work up different loads. And as stated in one responce DON,T shoot anybody elses reloads. Only yours for you will kknow whats in them. Have fun,be safe and read,read, and welcome to the world of us reloading nuts. vangunsmith
