I guess I'll start this off with my thoughts. First off, I don't want to promise anything until after my AK build Party next weekend. If that goes smoothly, I will be more than willing to host reloading clinincs a few miles outside of Agua Dulce in Canyon Country. I am not a NRA certified reloading instructor and do not consider myself an expert. I will offer to show people how I reload though. I would prefer to have other experinced reloaders co-teach with me. That way, I won't accidently steer anyone in the wrong dirrection and hopefully even the instructors can learn from each other. I do have multiple progressive presses, single stage presses and a few shot shell presses to use. I'm thinking the earliest I could do anything would be mid November and probably not until early December. So, who's up to learn? Who's willing to help teach? Also, LA is a big county so, if anyone else has another location, don't hesitate to volunteer it!

I recently started reloading so I am not qualified to teach but I am willing to bring equipment.

Would it be possible to attend this clinic if I don't have the equipment yet? There seems to be an endless amount of choices and it would be good to see other people's setup. I would definitely pay for any brass, primer, bullets, & powder that I would use @ the clinic.

This would be an ideal way for you to see what you really need and what you don't need. So, YES you would be more than welcome to attend any of these clinics.

Reloading USED to be an elite solitary hobby.There goes the neighborhood!

[chansen49]

I have an extra case trimmer that could be set on "portable" for the masses.

[bodger]

I'm interested but I'm coming into this with no knowledge, experience, or gear.

I would definitely like to participate. I'm in Hollyweird, will travel.

Not meaning to be picky , I do believe you mean Southern CA?

If so, I am willing to show reloading for handgun ammo, and I can touch on rifle reloading.
I have a single stage press, a progressive press and all related items to demonstrate.
I have room for only 5-6 at a time.

Also, PM sent.

Again, that's what this would be for. It would be a beginning or introduction to reloading class. We'll cover inside neck turning and how to measure case capacity another time.

Best to develop a standard basic info handout?

Hmm...
reloading clinics Stage 1,2,3?
1 = basic 2 = advanced 3 = precision

Great idea... either web articles on the basics or a reloading manual recommended list to be purchased and read prior to the clinic?
If you don't have the experience or any equipment, you should still be able to purchase a manual and read up on the process... It would make a better learning experience for the student, and a better experience for the instructor(s).
