[QUOTE="SSGDave762, post: 3634257, member: 47487"] Learned a lot reloading for 41 years, Father, Grandfather, and friends-Books are good, useful-Crushed fingers are not, so Patience Always. get a Feel for your equipment no matter what you choose-resistance is a tool telling you "Something is Wrong" so Never Force. Lubricant is your Friend, but like Chocolate, you CAN overdo it especially in a dusty environment like Arizona (phoenix area). Clean your brass before loading-a good tumbler and walnut shell is cheap and extends the life of your equipment. Ask questions just like you're doing-only Bad question is one you didnt ask. (I'm a former Drill Sgt, US Army and i tell my kids that too). Dont give up if something proves difficult-look at the problem, ask questions, because sometimes simple things can trip you up, like getting a primer stuck in the ram-had to disassemble plenty of times just to get a stuck primer out-sure wasnt going to throw the press away no matter how much my Wife wanted me to-LMAO! Reloading 31 calibers now, including .50BMG and That's a Bear if you dont understand real Patience-have to resize by "Stages" because even with a LOT of lube, the press handle has bent when i tried to full length resize in 1 step and i've had surgery on both hands which doesnt make anything easier. Learn, gain experience, and save Buku dollars! (never forget, when priming, make Very Sure it's Flush with the bottom of the case or it can slam fire!) Enjoy the fun and welcome to the hobby!
