Hello everyone!
I have been lurking around the forums for a few weeks after repeatedly coming to this site via google searches for hand loading. So far i have only reloaded a handful of 22-250 rounds with a lee classic and i'm hooked. I hope to load for my XDM9 soon so i can afford to shoot more often. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge!

You have just taken shooting sports to the next level. Welcome to our happy addiction. May your future frustrations be short and end with a smile.

Run away from this place now while you still can. Casting will not make you save money, it will cost lots and will be very frustrating learning to cast and then tayloring your loads to your guns.

You will however enjoy the experience. All of us crazy people enjoy doing it, some as much or more than actually shooting.

If you do decide to start casting DO NOT tell your SO what I said above, of course it will save you money... (thats what I tell my SWMBO)

Welcome!

I hope you have obtained a couple of loading manuals. These are where you really
need to start, and your references for safe loading methods and loading data.

Enjoy the hobby, and stay safe.

Welcome. And forget any stories you hear about saving money! I love my Lee Loaders, I've got 5. I started reloading with one, went to single stage presses, then turret presses, but I got one for each of my favorite calibers 'cause I still like to load with my Lee Loaders...
