Learning to Reload

[rafael69]

Hello

I want to start reloading, and I was wondering if anyone knows if there are classes or coares that someone could take? If not, is there anyone within 1 hours drive of Toronto that would be willing to take some time to teach me. I am willing to pay

I've seen a few (very few) Fish & Game Clubs / Associations offer a reloading course, but not very often.

Reloading is actually pretty simple once you learn and understand the basic steps. If you can follow a recipe out of a cookbook, you can follow the basic directions of reloading out of a reloading manual. Pretty much every reloading manual has step by step directions with good photos to follow. Everyone who reloads should probably have at least two reloading manuals, so if you don't have one yet, pick one up. The Lyman manual is pretty good, as are most from the major bullet makers.

If no one offers you a crash course on reloading, don't be intimidated to take it up yourself. It's pretty straightforward.

why pay?
just go to thepiratebay.org search for "reloading ammo" and use bittorent to download all kinds of information.
good luck.

Good ol'YouTube as well, got tons of instructional videos.

Another good source of info is right here! When I first started, I had some hilariously simple questions, and yet, I was never met with a bad answer. Not everyone is a pro, but they can offer advice, and walk you through when you hit a snag.

Make sure you make an honest effort with the search function, as there is a lot of good info in the archives. Good luck.

Indeed, Gunnutz is a great source of info.

I started by reading two reloading books. I asked lots of questions here. I started easy, also met with a knowledgeable (experienced) reloader in my town, got a starter kit, and voila I'm happily reloading a few hundred rounds per month (not a lot of shooting time... )
