Hello from Airville, PA

Post by FFGomer »

Just getting into reloading, not sure what took me so long but I finally took the plunge. Picked up a Load-Master from Midway and am looking forward to getting started. Luckily, I have a large support network of friends that have been reloading for years but I am still looking forward to hearing the praise, complaints, and tips from everybody here. I will most likely be lurking here for a little bit taking it all in but I am sure it won't take too long before I have a question for you all.

I average 1000-1500 rounds per month practicing at the range and shooting local steel plate matches. My wife is starting to get more into it as well so the volume is going up. I realize that is low volume comparatively but wanted a setup that was as efficient as possible. I have had some tell me that I should start off doing single stage while others said it would be more economical to jump right into progressive. I am definitely going to be taking things slowly for a little while until I get the hang of things. Looking forward to the knowledge and input from everyone.

100 rounds a day is a pretty good reason to start big . We will look forward to to shooting results and video !

That's a good idea. Start real slow, one case through at a time until you get the hang of it.

What cartridge are you shooting?
