Ok, I have read the Lyman reloading book 20 times. I have been all over the net reading and watching videos. I have even loaded and shot some rounds. What I would like to do is find someone around my neighbor hood that would be willing to give me some hands on tips, or just let me watch you do some loading and ask some questions.

Thanks!

Wish I were near you, but I'm sure someone in your neighborhood will chime in soon.

What are you trying to reload? Pistol? Rifle? Cast boolits?
What part of the process are you hung up on?

I loading cast in both rifle and pistol. Im not hung up on any one part, I just would like to see how someone else does the process. I have always thought it best to learn hands on from someone who knows more than me. Maybe Im just worried im making some mistake I am unaware of.

Skimmerhead lives about 45 min from me, and is more than willing to help, I just dont trust my current car to make the trip cause he lives down the bayou!

I live north of Bay St. Louis, about 75 miles from New Orleans CBD. Have been reloading since 1979, casting since 1990. I'd be happy to share whatever knowlege I have. PM me if interested. Jeffrey

I live an hour north of Alexandria, and I'd be glad to help if you can make it up here.

Joe, I am currently working in N.O. I stay in Metairie but I don't have any of my reloading equipment here. I would be will to visit with you. I have been reloading since 1978 and casting since 1984. Even had a commercial casting business for several years.

This makes me proud of all of you. I'm in Meridian MS, 3 hours away, and y'all have deprived me of an excuse to leave my wife for a day trip to NOLA, but I love y'all anyway.
