[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 799106, member: 25383"] when I started reloading, I had nobody to coach me thru the process, and just didn't even know where to start. I needed a couple die sets to get started (well I thought I was ready anyway), and saw a Sinclair ad in a magazine. Called them about ordering in a couple die sets, and Fred actually answered the phone. He coached me thru the whole process thru various phone calls and bailed my butt out of several disasters. One day I got a copy of Fred's book on precision reloading in the mail (he just gave it to me), and I must have read it three or four times. He really did a good job on brass prep and what works and dosn't work. Getting a copy of that book would be where I'd start! Plus I'm sure he's done some updates by now (been a very long time since I got mine). I remember well calling Fred oneday telling him I just ruined my brand new 6mm Forster sizer die! He laughed at me and said it'll be OK when I buy the new sizer stem! Fred asked me one day what equipment I was using (he knew I had the Forster dies), and I told him I had the Co-Ax press, and a Lyman measurer. He said to stop right there! You gotta have a scale! So I bought a RCBS 10-10 from him. He then told me about the bottle adapter for the little Lyman measurer, and to start using drop tubes in all the measurers I'd be using from then on. Good advice! Then we got into a case trimming delima. I had a new Lyman, and he said I needed to be thinking about something a little better. He told me he liked the Wilson, but I think I went thru three or four others before I finally took his advice. Once again he knew his business. gary [/QUOTE]
