Follow the book, do everything in stages, then double check.

Don't get distracted, no radio etc.

Work up a load suitable for your gun, maximum measures are often not the best for you.

You'll get hooked and you will never have enough reloading kit!

(Says he after two orders to Midway this month! - well I need lube, new top punch, lead dipper - trod on the old one etc. etc.)

One piece of advice, don't reload for someone else and don't use someone else's hand loads.

I reload 12g slug and mould my own slug. It's taken me a while to reach the point of that will cycle reliably in a semi-auto. On my last test a few weeks ago it was pleasing to find that my loads cycled more reliably than the manufactured stuff I had.

I'm just saving my pennies up now but I shall be starting on .38/.357 in the next couple of months and hope to get comfortable enough with that by the end of the year to move on to .303 and then 7.5x55.

Paul.

...and I am about to put some cast boolits through my 4(T) something new to me, I only have a couple of .303's so I am not convinced the investment in equipment to feed cast into them is necessary at this moment, I need to investigate further ;)
