[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2079831, member: 101791"] Reloading is fun, and I started that the age of 14 on my own. I had a little help, but did some reading and move slowly. What I purchase wasn't very accurate at the time either. I didn't blow myself up starting out. Started up grading on the fly at the same time. 59 years ago. A few pointers. No smoking around the reloading table, Only have one powder on the table that you are using. Don't MIX powders. Set a system on how you do your loading. One step at a time. Made sure you have several case trays. In powder charging your cases, move the case that's charged from the one case holder to another one so you don't double charge the cases. Made sure you are using the correct primer, and not mixing primers. Use what the reloading manual calls out for. Start off at the lower powder load and work your up to max. A couple of tenths of grain at a time. Learn to read your primers for pressure signs. There is several others that needs to be done while reloading. STAY SAFE! IT JUST WON'T BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE, UNLESS YOU GET STUPID. [/QUOTE]
