Reloading resources for newb?

[etoast]

Hey folks, what resources should I use to learn how to hand load for .308? Any books, apps, or forgotten scrolls I should check out? Just ordered a RCBS rock chucker system. Thoughts?

Thanks I appreciate the help.

Purchase a manual or 2. Lymans is good, as are most others. Read them. You Tube has a lot of things to help get you started and familar with the tools. There are on line sites to give you receipes and other information. You will find oodles of information with google, just remember you are developing loads for your gun and it will like it's own peculiar mixture. Start low and and work your way up, go slow, make notes, and stay focused! You will do fine.

Start with this:

the abc's of reloading will teach you most of what you need to know.

Books are great to have but I have found YouTube to be a great resource. I never use the data from a video, rather some of the methods and tips and tricks. Then I incorporate info from the reloading manuals I have on hand. Lyman, hornady, and lee are what I have on hand and they cover everything I need.

Books first, every other resource after. There are many good youtube videos, but there are probably more that are not. Newbies don't know the difference.

Thanks for all the info! Next question where can I find brass and power? Nobody seems to have any.

Budget shooting supply had some once fired, powder is another story

A mentor is a very nice resource to help show you in person.

He is in Tor posting looking for local brass

I agree, a mentor would be the best case scenario. I'm in the Toronto area.

I like this online guide from RCBS - see link below - gives a good overview of all of the major steps involved. A good reloading data manual is also critical. Hope this helps. Reloading can be very rewarding - just maintain a focus on safety and start low and work up your powder charges based on published data.
