There's a whole reloading section within this forum. Lots of good info there, too.
Had to take a quick break to grab some cheaters from the office.
Busy day with the RV and stuff. Tire covers off, aired up, greased, water caps installed, water heater flushed again and anode installed, fixed one leaky connection in the galley, aired up boat trailer tires, truck tires, truck airbags, spare tires, yada yada.
Need to get some bleach for the fresh water holding tank.
Now going to take a crack at fixing a gelcoat gouge from a shitty docking last trip last year. Damn low on black gelcoat patch through so white for filler, then top it off later with black. I should have checked the stash over the winter damnit.
Would like to get the truck tires rotated but my jack is on the fritz and it's a damn chore with the 3/4T. POS craftsman 6T(?) jack that never did work right. Just like my POS Craftsman torque wrench. WTF is it with plastic (locking) rings on tools anyway?
Maybe I'll just worry about getting the oil/filter in the truck changed.
YA there is lol I've read several threads already and intrigued. I guess I should be more specific then. Any 5.56/.223 reloaders on the western slope in or near grand junction I can contact and even learn from. From the looks of most threads like ones from zombie Steve and the kazoo they say watching another reloader and learning from them is the best route to go... In their words "monkey see, monkey do." I want to meet somebody and discuss and learn to reload.
Do you reload pistol now?
Start off by getting "The A-B-C's of reloading.
Then pick up a single stage reloading press and dies for pistol calibers, they are a bit more forgiving than the rifle calibers.
*Attention to details is the key to reloading.*
Once you are comfortable with reloading and shooting your own Pistol calibers, Move up to rifle calibers. Remember, that the 5.56/.223 is intolerant of overlength cases ( as all rifle calibers )and trimming them is critical.
I would invite ya over, but it's kind of a long drive... [Neene3]Quote:
