It may have already happened bit I think airgator was doing some reloading classes. Or go to DSH and take a class. What ever you do take a class from someone who has there shit together. Really man take a class before you hurt yourself.
Bob has a class next Saturday....on 5/24
Reloading takes a lot of listening and attention to detail.
It would be money well spent, untill then save your brass.
Read a book or 3 that go over the step by step process and explain why..
Abc's of reloading, modern reloading by richard lee, lyman reloading handbook 49th edition have good info on the process.. I am sure there are others,. But I used them when I was getting familiar.
Ask lots of questions next week after reading and take notes.
Those are the best suggestions I can give.
Yup.
Don't guess with the 460S&W. Don't assume. Don't take anything for granted either.
That is a very serious 'big boy' cartridge. If you screw up you can easily kill yourself any anyone else within several yards of you.
JD has a 460 S&W I'm going to reload for and I have been studying data for the last month. I won't load a round until I am satisfied I know all I need to know to do it safely.
This is one of the best things to happen to CCGF since, well, the bag o' parts.Quote:

Attention to detail, is the key.
Some load books do not pressure test ammo, others do.
Don't rush..research, read, and pay attention to detail.
There was a post on pressure signs.. I haven't seen all the info in one place before.
Read, and research. Then do it again.
Did I say attention to detail is the key...
Yeah, David's good at that.Quote:
