    Welcome Allen, You are among friends who will help you along the way with your questions.....with that said I suggest that you buy and start a good gun/reloading library. Read 'em and ask questions and you will get the help! Happy New Year and I wish you the very best! Paul
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Welcome!

    How much you learn is up to you and your interests, and how much time you have to spare.

    It is possible to spend a couple of years here reading, testing, doing, reading trying, refining. And in all practical purposes get yourself masters equivalent in casting, reloading, shooting. But its all on you. Take it at your own pace.

    Some very very good people here who are more than willing to share.

    Best of luck to you!

    Thanks for all the nice welcomes. Im in the Shamokin/Coal twp area of Pa. I have a good start on my library. I have the lee newest manual, lyman 50th and there 3 rd on cast. Hornady's latest and some other smaller ones. I do a lot of cross checking on loads with them. I have found errors too in them.

    Hey BigAl ---- THIS ^^^^^^^^^^

    Man you stepped in it now! The above is good advice man, I've been loading/casting for a few decades now and it never cease to amaze me with the amount of knowledge there is here. I learn something new almost every day, hope you do too!

    *.....and I got into reloading to save money....* should be included with the three biggest lies in the world!
