Thread: Reloading lesson

Just watched the first few mins of a 7mm rem mag vid of juijitsu2000. . His sizing die set up is lazy/incorrect and has the potential for case head separation, didnt watch any more. Anyone can put anything they like on the internet, a lot of it is just wrong. Far to many people try something, think it works based on a very small sample and cling to it like its fact, it spreads and becomes collective wisdom. Sometimes it right, other times its just bollocks. Experience doesn't seem to fully insulate from this.
Reloading can be a basic set up to build OK hunting ammo for a good price or you can end up down the rabbit hole spending the kids inheritance trying to reduce your SD to 1 or anywhere in between.
My advice would be stay away from annealing, electronic scales, case gauges, run out gauges, neck turning etc etc. Start basic. I still prefer a good reloading manual to anything on youtube. Add bits as you need to solve problems you find along the way not because some said you "need it" . Learn as you go, keep an open mind and keep it engaged, dont believe everything you read on the net especially velocities some claim.
