Thats me fucked then Smiddy, i dont learn from books never have been able to and never will most probably, i have to do something first to get to grips with it.
When i start doing it for myself i hope people are as generous with there info for me as they have been with toby.

Yea well go around to someone's house and watch them do it, reading a book is the same as reading the forum. The book will give you step by step instructons, where as the forum wont really. Guess your fucked then ha

I cant read what hasnt turned up yet. Whats so bad about about asking and slowly learning names of powders and projectiles and stuff. Geez must be that time of the month for some of you.

Bugger the negative guys, ask away. I can't believe some people's attitudes on here.

Reloading is a piece of piss, don't be intimidated by it.

That's what a forum is for, right?

Toby, which book did you order ?

For basics on the process, see RCBS - Precisioneered Shooting Products - Step-By-Step Reloading

You can download the ADI manual to look at some specifics
ADI Powders Handloaders' Guide

I'll hunt around for some more online reading, more important that you understand the basic process, and the variables involved. Best thing you can do is to go spend some time with an experienced reloader. Maybe check with the local gunship or NZDA ?

Well under 200. My longest shot to date on a deer is 120m. Never had a intrest in shooting like I do now.
