Anyone in southern oregon willing to show me how if i get the equipment? Im not really sure if i should look up vids and do it myself, or learn hands on.
you should be able to teach urself,a lot of us did.Start with pistol if possible. why ?
rifle almost always requires trimming brass,and rifle powders are more difficult to measure than pistol powders,in general anyway. Rifle cases require lubing,and then de lubing too.just more steps than pistol,still not rocket science.
pls tell us ur ammo needs...caliber,qty per month,that kind of thing so we can be of more help.
This is a great offer you should take advantage of. I have posted similar followups to similar questions but will do so again - the first thing you need to do is establish why you want to get into reloading. I know that sounds odd but you really need to answer that for yourself. You will not save money by reloading so hopefully that was not the reason. What you should be thinking about is getting into reloading as an extension of your interest in guns and shooting and want to be able to produce quality ammo tailored specifically for what you want to do. Also you need to understand reloading is a serious undertaking and is not to be taken lightly. While it is not rocket science as mentioned before, it is a procedural and repetitive process that requires concentration and preferably a place you can be by yourself. It also takes time to develop your own system of doing things so you essentially do the same thing each time, for each process to ensure safety and consistency with your loads. Reloading needs to be an integral part of the overall picture, and not just a chore you feel you need to accomplish so you can go shooting. I cannot emphasize that enough - and I speak from 30 + years of experience pullin' the handle!I live just north of Medford and would be willing to help you out...

CPY is correct. This can be true with careful shopping of components, light loads and getting an efficient system in place. I should have said "Some cost saving can eventually be recognized but may be offset for a while due to initial equipment investment. Therefore do not consider saving money as your primary reason for getting into reloading."So, I think cost savings can be part of the equation.
