Try and find a mentor...it will cut your learning curve dramatically....
I agree, but that is not always possible. I learned by reading, mostly the Lyman reloading book, and asking questions on the old Shooters site and here, after Shooters went belly up. There used to be a lot of people here with extensive knowledge that would help people. I think they and others are still here and will help, just like they used to do. Jump in, ask questions, and be very careful. miles
