After reading an article about reloading in American Handgunner I thought “I should do that!” After looking up information on it though, that thought quickly turned into a chuckle.
Last week, however, my brother sent me a link to this.
He was helping someone who’s husband had left her and she wanted his gun stuff out of the house. He has the fittings for most calibers (most importantly – my calibers!). For a brief moment I was jealous that I didn’t get the hook up – then I remembered – he lives next door – he gets to store it and I get to use it whenever I want! Score!
Now just to figure out how to use the darn thing!
Reloading looks complicateda and intimidating at first but it really isn’t that difficult. For months I looked for someone to teach me, (shooting clubs etc….). Sometimes the NRA will or local shoting club will sponsor a class but finally I figured I’d learn on my own.
Midway has a good reloading DVD, (Siera intro to Handgun Reloading) and between that, this site(http://www.three-peaks.net/reload.htm) and a couple books I trained myself how to do it.
Since then I’ve reloaded and shot thousands of rounds with no issues. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions.

Hey, I’m fairly new to reloading too, and I’ve found that the videos on http://www.ammosmith.com are a tremendous help. Also, http://www.reloadbench.com is a good resource.
In addition to the web sites, I also have a Lyman reloading manual and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the ABCs of reloading.
