[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1466588, member: 90080"] Everyone has pretty well covered most of the bases on equipment, so I will suggest that you find a good mentor. Got to be lots of experienced reloaders around Odessa. If you can find any benchrest or competition shooters, they pioneered the reloading techniques that long-range hunters use today. I was lucky enough to have exactly that help, some 40 years ago. I am still picking the brain of another BR shooter today. It's a time and money saver to learn from anal reloaders/shooters. Reading everything is good and I advise you to do it. Learn the jargon so you can communicate correctly, when posing a question or seeking help for a problem. There are plenty of knowledgeable precision reloaders on this site that will help you, but beware ------ it is the internet. After you've been here awhile, you'll gravitate to the guys that know what they speak of. I still believe you would be ahead of the game by finding a quality mentor. Hands on experience with a mentor will accelerate the learning curve and build your confidence. Reloading for precision is not "rocket science", but to really build a great load involves many steps. You will be very proud, the first time you solve the puzzle and be hooked forever. Last suggestion is to buy a quality chrongraph, it will show you what is working and what you need to change. Good luck and welcome. Can't have too many Texans! [/QUOTE]
