[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 278273, member: 15748"] Dukester, First things first. Before you start acquiring equipment or components, you need to get yourself a reloading manual. Actually, I'd (strongly) suggest that you get several. Take the time to read them cover to cover, not just flipping open to the cartridge and bullet combination you want to use. There's info in there that will make you a better (and safer) reloader and shooter. This will actually save you time and money, by making you aware of things that you'd otherwise have to learn on your own. Secondly, and no offense intended to anyone on the forums, but [U]do[/U] [U]not[/U] [U]ever[/U] get your reloading data from an open forum!
