Please teach me to reload

[bubbala]

I have posted this in the past,,, a few years ago the a.t.f. told our reloading group,if your students leave with loaded ammo they will prosecute us for manufacturing without a license.
Told Angeles reloading store the same thing.
And Biden was not in office.

Wrong. you want me to go through what Douglas Haig went though? Do I know OP? would you teach a stranger how to mix fertilizer? its my decision its my risk/reward. If you ask me how to reload I would say the same chit to you.



Ever heard of Douglas Haig?

How do you conflate Haig to a reloading mentor?

Was someone suggesting selling reloads (AP and tracers no less) without a mfg license?

But I'll concur with those who said get a couple manuals and read them thoroughly. You want a grasp of internal and external ballistics before embarking via tutor or tutorials.

Make sure you get a Bullet Puller!

I'd teach a stranger how to mix fertilizer.

That was one of the funniest paranoid ranting I've seen in a minute. Teaching people how to reload isn't a crime. Or even regulated. Theres a million online guides to help you all g too.

DH was traced back to the supplier of reloads when chit hit the fan. If and when OP hit the fan and they ask who taught you how to load, under pressure, caved and said I was. You think ATF is just gonna slide and not investigate me? I don't want the headache or my life turned up side down over teaching an unknown how to reload. Sure the reward might be helping out an enthusiast but the risk is putting me in a headache situation if chit hits the fan and i'm attached with his evil.

Why OP with 5 total post can't take the time and learn? as there are million of resources out there. Remember those saudi airplane school students?

Lyman 50th was very informative when I started.

47th is still my first manual to pull but mostly I look at my notes anymore.


Op, reloading is very very different than shooting.

Organization, documentation and organize notes are paramount to long term success.

Cleanliness is important too. If I spill 100 primers on the floor, I will find 100 primers. A little bit of OCD is helpful in reloading. A lot of OCD and you could spend 2 dats loading 1 round.

Hey clueless scaredy dude. Remember that guy just a few posts ago that said this, after he was ridiculed by everyone, for his silly exaggerations and deflective obsfucations in a vain attempt to lend credence to his ignorant paranoia:

Anyhow, back to the hole I belong.

Guess what?

HE DIDN'T DO WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD! He's still here "YAPPING" [to use his own term] like "chicken little", about non existent liability for fictional third party criminal offenses.

And is oblivious about the bolded in the above quote. OR he would realize THAT THIS IS JUST SUCH A INTERNET RESOURCE AS HE DESCRIBED.

AGAIN..................GEEESH!

He already has both feet, and his keyboard in his mouth. Just maybe time to quit digging.

You teach him reload. He uses reload to so call "mass shooting". ATF finds reload and trace to you. You have to spend money to defend yourself. This scenario is why I stop helping people build lowers.

There are lots of bools, manual, internet videos, how to's, do your own research and you'll find it. Should I teach you how to build explosives now?

Very good point but have you considered this?

Build a man a fire and he stays warm for one night but if you light a man on fire, he stays warm for the rest of his life.

[edgerly779]

D you have ll the components brass/ primers/ powder. Tumbler to clean brass. Get that done first.

[Kurgan]

Well that went to hell in a hand basket. This some Off Topic levels of paranoid conspiracy theories.

It's also the weirdest thing I've seen in the reloading forum since that dude was posting pictures of sex toys attached to his powder measure.

To the OP, reading some reloading manuals is the place to start. Make a list of tools you need and aquire them.

Start slowly and carefully. Load no more than 50-100 rounds when you start out. Nobody wants to pull down a thousand rounds if the find out something isn't working.

If you have questions, many here will be willing to answer them or give you some pointers to get you going in the right direction.

I'd tell you to watch some YouTube videos but anybody can put vids up and it may or may not be good info.

Best of luck especially trying to source components.

I have always considered risk and /or calculated risk just about every decision. Some things are just how far I'm willing to go. Its easy to evaluate issues on the internet vs real life as people are braver on the internet. Government agencies will make your life miserable to achieve their objective. Lets take the one 6 patriots for an example. Gov turned their lives upside down, financially ruined, so some had no choice to play ball for them. Life is about risk assessment in every decisions you make. I don't want to be caught up in any situation where may come back to bite me at the end I rather not be associated with. My view or point may not be popular but its just my position in the matter. Thanks for the civil argument. We can leave it at agree to disagree.

But maybe what they really want is to scare us into submission? They want to isolate us, break our circle of friends into just isolated families, restrict travel and communications? We would be much easier to control as small isolated groups…….divide and conquer.

I suggest we live our lives as free as we want to and do what we have always done, make them over react vs just submit to their subtle threats. They over reacted to 1-6 and it exposed them to many who never even suspected this was possible here.

………….yes, learning to reload doesn’t require official classes these are more beneficial after you have learned the basics………to fine tune your process.

I'm sure the OP's read a manual but still wanted some personal guidance....
