[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 2354520, member: 101611"] Some things to think about. First, as has been said by many, get two (or more) reloading manuals. You will find some differences in recommended loads but most all will be consistent in the steps required, and the safety to be used in reloading. Each step will be explained and demonstrated. Study this well. You will quickly realize that any specific loads might not work as well as others. Which means, over time, quite a few trips to the range to test your loads. That is challenging in the LA area because there aren't that many ranges around. The alternative is to load 3-5 cartridges with the same load, then another 3-5 with another load and so on until you have a number of different loads (using diff weights of same powder, diff bullets, etc.). DON'T RUSH. Take your time because the next hunting season is quite a ways off and you have plenty of time to develop accurate loads. You may well find your two rifles use different loads. Spend time on this website and look at other shooting/reloading sites and you will pick up a lot of information. People are pretty friendly and ready to help with information. As for equipment, there's a lot of good stuff out there. By following this website and others you will read about different brands that are considered reliable and accurate. You can load acceptable ammo with minimum equipment. To get really exceptional ammo may require exceptional (i.e., expensive) equipment. You Tube has videos comparing different types of equipment. Spend some time looking. And, if possible, find someone who lives nearby who can give you practical help. Good luck. You're embarking on a journey that can provide you with a lot of fun and enjoyment and not a few challenges. [/QUOTE]
