    L.A. / O.C. Reloading workshop.

    RELOADING WORKSHOP

    October 18TH 2015

    This is the official sign up page for the October reloading work shop.
    Location is near Beach Blvd and Imperial Highway

    Our reloading workshop / classes differ from most classes that merely lecture. This class will be run by an experienced NRA Certified Metallic Reloading Instructor. This will be a "Hands on" reloading class where you will make and take home the ammo you craft. The majority of students who have taken this course have gained the skills to begin the hobby of reloading on their own.

    This is a beginning reloading class geared to teach reloading basics to students who have no reloading experience. Every student will have a reloading station and equipment available to them. This is not a precision loading class. Firearms are not to be brought to this course. Unless you have a CCW Permit. If you do then keep it concealed.

    We will cover the basics of reloading Safety and Reloading in a way that will be remembered. You will learn by doing hands on. Setting up the equipment and researching your loads.

    Most standard pistol calibers can be covered. Rifle may be limited to 30-06, .308 and .223. However ask if you have a rifle caliber and we have dies and components we will make it happen. Brass could be the deciding factor here.

    The fees for this course will differ a bit from past classes. This is a benefit workshop. The funds raised will passed along to a needy Calgunner. We are asking for a $55.00 donation for this class. I ask that payment be in the form of a money order made out the the Calgunner we will be donating the funds to. I will PM a link to a couple threads so registering students that they may chose who will receive their donation. Since 100% of the money raised is gong to help another, lunch and drinks are to be determined. You may be asked to bring your own soda or water.

    Keep in mind the Host and instructor will be volunteering their time. None of the donation funds will be paid out to any one involved in putting this workshop on.

    Components for one box of pistol (50 rounds) or 2 boxes of 223 (40 rounds) or 1 box of large rifle (20 rounds) are included. Brass is not included.


    Lesson #1 Reloaders save their brass.

    Registration begins 8:30 am and 9:00 am start time. This work shop usually runs about 5 to 6 hours.

    Clean brass will be available on exchange basis as there will not be enough time in the class to clean your brass. Should you have brass that needs cleaning if you can get it to me or one of the volunteers, he or I will run it through the tumbler prior to the class.

    If you would like to attend, please post and PM me. Please also include the rifle or pistol calibers you would be interested in reloading and taking home to shoot, along with your email address. Please understand there is usually only time to load one choice of calibers in the class pistol or rifle.

    The class size will be limited to three students per volunteer instructor with a final head count of no more than 8 students. ID will be required. Must be 18 years old or must be 21 to load Pistol ammo unless with a parent.

    We are also looking for experienced reloaders for oversight and safety. Please PM me if you are willing to help.

              Ouch on a Sunday morning?

              I have put this off long enough, I've gotta go!

              I've got gobs of clean 9mm and 223 brass, approx. 500 pistol primers, 9mm projectiles, and rifle primers. I'd be happy to share some with the class!

              What presses will you be teaching with? I'd sure like to get the dies and head setup for my Dillon 550!

                We teach exclusively with single stage presses. Need to learn to walk before you learn to run. There are several different makes/models. If you bring your 550 we could get it set up after the class is complete.

                  OK will do!

                  Should I bring brass, projectiles, and primers?

                    Darryl, There will be components for most common calibers listed above. If you have clean brass you can use it or you can exchange dirty brass for clean. If there is something special you want to load (like 357 wad cutters or 62 grain greed tip for .223) you could bring them otherwise most common stuff is there.

                      i recommend this class to anyone want to start reloading. Learn all the safety measures with a Cert. instructor instead of youtuber.

                        Plenty of clean brass in 9mm and 223/556. I'll bring some just in case...

                          I hope you don't mind me asking - are there any reloading classes offered in Northern California?

                          I'm up in the Sacramento area, and L.A. is a little far for me to travel to

                          I've always wanted to learn, but didn't even realize that people offered classes...
