Thread: Getting a start in reloading

Hey folks, I'm keen to get into reloading and would be interested if any of you have some recommendations for books or the best way to start researching some basics to help me on my way. chur chur

Can't help you with books. But YouTube is also your friend.

I found https://www.youtube.com/@JohnnysReloadingBench this bloke to be really good when I was starting.

Redding made a really good reference guide for the basic steps to reloading. Has instructions and good photos to help illustrate. here is a link to the guide:

good to download and print to have on your bench.

You must be single? Lol

Hey man, I asked a similar question and the good folks here sent me two huge PDF books of how to handload. Shall DM you on the best way to get those to ya.

Read them front to back and they're great. Not as good as a mentor to show you hand on, but really detailed stuff.

Greetings @BK10,
Best war to start is with a mentor who will show you how it is done and start you loading your own on their kit. The older manuals had good how to sections. The manufacturers put out some decent vids but they are often trying to sell you things. There is some good stuff on youtube but some absolute shite as well but a mentor will cut through the crap for you.
Regards Grandpamac.

Buy older nosler manual.the first few editions have absolute goldmine in front half of book. It's the how and why. Not the stick this in here n do this....it tells how it works.my brain soaks that up much better. Nick Harvey manual has similar but nosler is just ideal. Plenty of recipe manuals but the Nitty gritty is where the learning gold is at.

@BK10

This might help.
