Hi Kaydin, welcome. There will no doubt be somebody from Dunedin able to help. Have you checked out Reloading video's on You Tube?.

I have had a bit of a look.

What caliber are you reloading for, and what kind of gear do you have?

youtube, there was a gy called jiujitsu2000
made it look simple, and compared to the crap hornady manual it was.
worth a look but listen to those who are experienced

.243 and .223 at the monent. i have hornady lock and load gear

Wilson case Gauge

Kaydin, if you haven't already, can I suggest you get one each of these for 223 and 243.

If you have run your cases through the sizing dies correctly and they do not need to be trimmed back, they will fit sweetly into the gauges without sticking out at either end. Makes it very easy to check whether you have things set up correctly or not .



And one of these. Digital calipers. Very handy for figuring how long your round is, and whether you need to adjust its length.

i reload 223 and 7mmRM. best bit of advice i can give is make sure your reloading bench is tidy and very well illuminated. you will be surprised the difference good lighting makes to spotting errors and mistakes
