I know it sounds silly, but my only "manual" is a 1975 version of Sierra! Of course I do get by...Are you going to start teaching?
Gotten so far off into neck turning tight neck customs you can’t remember the basics?
Thinking you need Prevagen?![]()
I have enough internalized info to have worked tech for Redding for a bit, and my personal reloading skills are ok. My skills on the various aspects of handloading go back to 1975, and have grown to include neck turning, fireforming, wildcatting, annealing, brass prep (then Lapua!) etc etc. I think I am ok.
I just wrangled up a used starter kit for my son. He is in CO, I am in PA. He will be loading for 223 and 308. Pretty simple stuff. But I learned a long time ago (teaching firearms) that the worst shooters are self taught with a little info . Same with reloaders. So I wanted him to have a basic manual to reference as together via zoom we get him going. I don't want him to think that since dad does all this measuring and headspacing and turning etc that he is going to jump right in there...but rather he needs to build on the basic foundations. Just like grip, draw, sight picture, trigger control are the foundations of shooting. Optics, timers, movement etc comes after a mastery of the foundations. So the request isn't for a be all-end all manual, just a basic reference in one place that reads like a book...not a Yotube video that is limited by time and topic. .
So Josh, no Prevagen just yet...but then where did I put my keyboard...????
