[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 2073501, member: 75815"] First, don't be overwhelmed by the advanced details, ie worrying about bullet seating depth (jump), CBTO, annealing, precise bullet alignment. (There is a lot of discussion on this forum that is extremely advanced, by people pursuing accuracy for very long distance target shooting and hunting.) Just follow the [U]basic[/U] steps in a manual or book, and never get in a rush or distracted. SAFETY FIRST, means paying total attention to the process. You can be busy with your career and raising kids, AND reload. Just set aside a couple hours at a time (such as after the kids go to bed) to work on reloading. This means you will only accomplish one or two steps per session, so you do need to have a written step-by-step procedure for each batch of ammo, and check off which step you have completed during each session. Furthermore, since I have different batches in process at the same time, I have a small post-it note that stays with each case tray, to indicate which batch is in that tray. Before starting to buy equipment, be honest and ask yourself if this is REALLY something you are sure you want to pursue. If not, don't buy the most advanced equipment at the outset. Also, a lot of reloaders have updated their equipment and will sell (or give) you equipment that they have replaced, but which is still in perfect operating condition. Do locate someone to talk to and watch, as they perform the process. Good luck, have fun, and remember, on this forum, there are no stupid questions. [/QUOTE]
