Thread: Learning to do my own reloads???!!

you will pick most of it up on you tube, or if you can find someone in your area to show you even better.
all you really need to get right is....

headspace measurement, ... measure a fired case for this, datum line on the shoulder to the head (push the primer out first)

over all length of a loaded round, this will be in a reloading manual, or buy an over all length gauge. also take note of the trim length of the case, in the same manual.

charge weight, or how much powder to put in. a manual will have a light start weight and a max weight. but you should also take a look on the net at what case pressure signs are, or what to look for.

that's really it, the rest is experiment with what your rifle likes. but in saying that, I didn't just type a complete manual google the things I just mentioned or look in manuals and make sure you understand them. the rest of the hype is about making better rounds. but you should be happy to just make something that is safe at this stage.
the adi powders sight has a brief manual for free.
