Weekend Challenges for all Members!!

[Gunshot]

When I got into reloading,I had help from a guy that literally knew everything their was to know about it.
He was a gunsmith AND machinist. He was extremely smart with tons of old world,hands on,expierance.
He was eager to teach and I was eager to learn. The perfect combo.
While I will never learn as much as he had forgotton over the years,I would like to know that I have returned the favor to a fellow reloader,in some small way.
I will teach,advise,and give my opinions,mainly from my expierances. And at my age,I have had quite a few. I will allow others to make an (hopefully) informed decission and will not be overly critical of that decission.
I am here to both teach and learn. --- SAWMAN

I like your attitude Sawman !! I have been reloading a long time and still learn something new every day Usually it is because I made a mistake lol I was lucky to have an old reloading mentor as a teenager as well. So while I always am willing to teach others I have found I still have more to learn myself !!

I'm fairly new to reloading. Only a few years under my belt, but ive learned a lot from guys here and I have a friend that taught me years back how to reload. He has been loading for years and a great source. If theres anything I can do to help anyone here...I'd be more than happy to try!

Along about 78'ish I was getting ready to deploy overseas . . . AGAIN. We knew it would be a "on call,sit and wait" type of deploynent. I had been thinking about getting into reloading for the (then) 4 chamberings that I owned in both rifle and pistol.
I bought every loading manual that I could find,including the excellect Lyman learners manual. I had the Speer,Hornady,Sierra,Hodgdon,and several other books not produced by bullet or powder makers.
We were gone longer than we anticipated (11 months) and in that time I damn near wore the books out.
When we got home I had already made some critical decissions about reloading.
I quickly found a mentor that helped me choose my initial equipment. I bought my powders,priners,brass,etc,and jumped right in.
Just a couple years later,I had more equipment than I could move,so I bought a house. Then even more "stuff". At one point I reloaded for over 20 different chamberings,in boith rifle and pistol.
Fast forward . . . now,some years later,I have downsized quite a bit. But for me,reloading is like a hobby. --- SAWMAN

I'm with you, I love this hobby/addiction and take great pride in the work I do. It's hard for me to judge what I enjoy more, the hobby itself or helping those who are new to reloading. Either way its a win-win situation. [emoji16]

I’ve never been in it to save money, always enjoyed the tinkering/hobby aspect of it. I rolled my first round in 1991, and never looked back. I’m currently set up to load for over 40 different calibers. It’s an obsession. I definitely see downsizing in my future, but not yet.
