Welcome to the Reloading Forum -- Introduce Yourself

Hello everyone my name is Gerry and I'm in southeast Pennsylvania. I can't believe it's taken me this long to find this great site! As far as reloading goes, I've been making my own ammo for 15 years and making my own reloading tooling for maybe the last 5 years. I reload for 223 and 308 at the moment, and I have been building and experimenting with 22LR ammo accurizing/sorting tools. Have a great day everyone,
Gerry

Hey guys getting from south GA. In New here and to reloading, been shooting and hunting most of my life but never reloaded. I just got the RCBS Rebel master kit, Redding dies and FA hand deprimer. I occasionally go to the range but mostly shoot at home, I have 225 yards to practice with and 500 at the range. Starting loading for my 300 Win Mag but will be doing 308 30/06 7 rem mag 3030 and 44 too. Hopefully 375 later this year. Anybody with tips and secrets for the 300 WM please educate me.
Hello all, I’m new to the site. Only been reloading for a year or so. And man, this stuff is addictive. I truly enjoy tinkering with rounds to try and make them “perfect” I mainly load for hunting rounds and pistol self defense and practice. Looking forward to learning some of this valuable knowledge here!
Howdy folks. I am from Texas. I have been into shooting for many years. I recently got into loading my own ammo. Right now I have only loaded handgun ammo, but getting set up for rifle ammo. Currently I have a dillon xl750 that I have been loading 38, 357, and 45 colt. I have a secondhand rcbs rc2 that I haven't used. I really want to get a turret press soon, probably a redding t7 for my favorite rifle calibers, 223, 243, 6.5 grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 300 wsm, etc. Looking forward to seeing what other people post and learning from others.

I am the new guy and have questions on 223. But for now I am a disabled Vietnam Vet living near the Poconos. I like the way this forum is setup and seems friendly.
I am married 50 years and have 2 children. Boy and a Girl. They call this the millionaires family. We have the empty nest and now the woman is on my case all the time. Number one reason I took up reloading. I will have an important question into what am I doing wrong. I been doing pistol loads no problem. My name is

My name is Vern, been reloading a long time but learn something new every week it seems. Started shooting two precision matches a month at our local club, AR-15 precision match on first Saturday and bolt action match on second Saturday. Have just put together my first bolt gun, 6mm Norma Dasher. Looking forward to learning a lot and the forum has already helped.
Greetings. New to reloading, picked it up to support my 338JDJ Encore. Took the NRA reloading class, very helpful. As I explore other calibers 300 Win Mag with a recipe that came with the rifle and a 6mm Remington that I will be starting from scratch with.
Other possibilities 44mag henry, 350 Legend (son got his deer with it this year).

Hello out there!!! I did quite a bit of reloading back when I was actively shooting Highpower service rifle. Now I'm looking to get back into that game as well as F-TR. I literally have buckets full of .308 brass, but from what I've been reading Lapua Palma small rifle .308 is most favored by competitors for TR pumped up out to 1K with 200 grain bullets. Problem is as most of you know you can't find those cases new anywhere! I would love to hear about a good alternative to the Lapua, otherwise I'm going to have to live with what I have and do the best I can. The prices for components are insane compared to what it was back in the day! If you wanna play, you gotta pay!

Hi I'm 111% I've been addicted to reloading for 20+ years.im hoping this reloadingcoholic meeting will help me with this disorder I have!!!
Thanks to everyone sharing info on this great forum.yalls stories could be the key that unlocks someone else's reloading prison
When life gives you lemons squeeze them in someone's eyes...
All kidding aside I've been loading 20+ years for hunting rifles,pistol and semi auto rifles but I helped my father since a young one.always found it fun reading reloading manuals and dreaming up different load recipes.ive always enjoyed shooting bolt action rifles and trying to shoot tiny groups.
So I've decided to venture into f t/r and plan on spending next year or so getting my reloading up to snuff while getting components together for rifle build.its pretty crazy what all goes into precision reloading and building custom rifles that can compete.
I've found this forum to be best one for learning all this.been lurking for awhile and keep comments to myself here cause there are so many knowledgeable people that I don't have much to add.maybe one day but just learning for now.
