[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1141840, member: 90397"] Solid advice on reading up and looking for a mentor if possible. Reloading has been a journey for me transitioning from basic hunting ammunition toward a desire to load precision ammunition for my 300 WM. As was mentioned previously, getting the basics of safe loading down should be a primary objective. I have a Hornady lock and load and use it for AR and pistol loading. When I am pushing the max limits for center fire rifle loads, I use a single stage press and either weigh the charges or use electronic trickle weighing. One or my early mistakes in reloading was to believe the reloading manuals as to what constitutes a maximum load. Start low and work up is a tenent worth adopting. IMO, a runout gauge and access to a chronograph are both good quality control tools to help as you progress in reloading experience. I reloaded hunting ammo for years without either tool but my abilities progressed more quickly after picking up these tools in addition to the basics. [/QUOTE]
