Please indicate what reloading topics are you interested. Example, Pistol Caliber Reloading is a good start.

Anyone who even thinks they may reload in the future would be well served to get a solid primer on the topic. You'll learn quickly what equipment makes sense for you and just to see the processes in person and how certain things are measured is invaluable! Heck, if I happen to be in Dallas at that time, I'd attend- both to help out and to learn techniques from another handloader.

I just finished loading 6.5 PRC for my buddy. He is running out of ammo and he wanted to shoot his Rugger 6.5 PRC
I loaded for him 153.5gr Berger LRGT at over 57.7gr H1000, at COAL of 2.982"

You need a computer device with an optional webcam and good internet connection, your time and desire to learn reloading.

Let me know. I still think with this PlanDemic We could do a group setting.

But maybe a multiple zoom video. I am a newbie to all this.

But I want to learn.

I'd be in either online or in person. Sitting on a pile of components and just waiting on a mount to get started here.

I tested my video setup and it is working well.
Soon I will test a 2 person meet and if it is a good I will schedule the first session on reloading pistol cases

Let me know if you need help testing. I'm on video meetings all day and familiar with all of the common ones (zoom, webex, teams, google, etc). I'll PM my info if you need it

Reloading 223 on AP, 25gr CFE223 under a Hornady 68gr HPBT. I am sorry for the confusion between grams and grains.

I just cast my vote for yes. I've been interested in learning to reload for a while, but don't know anyone who does it and have always been hesitant to try to teach myself how to do it.
