Joining the ranks of reloaders

Well, as a nice suprise today, I was given everything I need to reload. A bonanza press, which seems to be built like a tank, plenty of dies, and all other tools needed. I am sure I will have questions soon!

    Be carful, it's VERY addicting, but it's almost as much fun as ropeing steers and sex with the lights on. Feel free to ask questions, none of us where born knowing how to reload. You will learn that the devil is in the details, and pretty much, if it ain't in a book, don't load it.Another good site is the ReloadingBench.com

    Better to ask a question than to have a mishap. Ask away, and enjoy your new hobby.

    Excellent! Welcome to the most fun you can have out of bed. Be smart and ask questions if you don't feel you're completely up on something.

    Welcome to the dark side! Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question, even if you feel stupid for asking. Start reading so you can start asking questions. I made that plural for a reason, you will probably have more than one. I think I've asked 10 questions for one caliber. Don't forget about the search feature as well. Lots of good ifno to be found in searches as well.

    I tried your suggestion of ReloadingBench.com and nothing is there. Is there a special address for it? I also tried TheReloadingBench.com and met with similar results.

    +1.....kinda like forums[:p] funny I find myself in the reloading room at midnight sizing 30 06 brass. I have 2 50 cal ammo cans full of loaded already. I dont know what your loading but I assume its a rifle. I personally like remington large 9 1/2 primmers. Dont like cci but do like cci small bench rest primers. You'll find what you like and check your load them check it again!

    Good advice, but try finding reloading data for 8X60R Kropatschek or .41 Swiss in the manuals. [;)]

    Seriously, the best info I can give for starting is to read a few good books on it, followed by seeing someone actually DO it, if possible.
