First step in reloading is cleaning your brass. I have
reloaded for the last 15 yrs and find this to be the hardest part. If you are reloading fired brass I like to
clean my brass in two steps, I will first put them in my Lyman turbo tumbler and
let them clean for 2 hr. to get all the grit and dirt off the brass then I will
de-prime the brass on my press with a full length re-sizing dye so I am
resizing and de-priming at the same time. After I am done de-priming, I place
the brass back in the tumbler and run for two more hours. After cleaning the
brass I take them out of the tumbler and put them in a brass holder for
re-priming

Reloading is a great way to save money and spend time with your family. I believe you should make reloading a family event, have your kids help you where they can. They can help you put brass in the tumbler and empty the walnut grit out of them and help you place brass in the plastic holders.
For my first post on reloading corner I want to talk about
getting a good reloading book. I am a firm believer that a good reloading book
is key to being a great reloader it gives you a good place to start. You want a
reloading book that is easy to read and makes sense to you. There is nothing
like not being able to find what you want. A lot of guys say buy the newest
book on the market and you will be fine. I on the other hand have a reloading
book that I use that is over 60 yrs. old. The reason is I found a load I liked
and tweaked it to fit what I do. I have never just used a load in the book. I find
what I think is close to what i want and work up custom loads . Every gun is different so
make sure if you tweak anything in the load to watch for tail tell signs of
pressure problems.
