RE: How hard is it to reload??
 

My advise from a newbie reloader as well.......well to rifle anyway.........been loading shotgun for years! Take your time. I reload shotgun to shoot clays. 100/week minimum. I wont shoot that many rifle in a month til spring. My rifle loading now is for varmits. Eventually for competition I hope! I load about 40-60 per hour on a single stage, not counting the brass cleaning and prep. It's alot of fun and I really enjoy it. I don't know if you save any money, you just shoot more in the long run!

It took me one day to handload my first round it will take me a life time to master it. Good luck.

I just started last year, and agree with all the above advice, get a good manual and read it, then follow what they tell you. If you have questions, recheck the manual, or find someone that reloads and ask them. If you have a good shop near you, they usually have someone there that is knowlegable about reloading(I went to one near me and although they sell almost everything you could want for reloading, no one that works there actually reloads, go figure). Anyway if you are careful, and follow directions it is very easy, and of course addicting.

In the winter I reload to shoot, once the weather gets better, I shoot to reload...

Glad to have a new reloader in the forum. Play SAFE!! Follow your manuals to the letter and buy as many as you can afford. Hunting or target shooting is only enhanced when using home-rolled ammo. ;)

It's not that hard and i believe if i can do it anyone can. It's a great hobby and lots of fun to boot and especially satisfying when you find that magic load and harvest game with bullets you made yourself.
Lots of good advice already given and i really don't have much to add but i will say don't forget to wear those safety glasses. Also get ready for a reloading addiction, once you start it never ends.
