New reloader appreciates all the info...

[Branded]

I've been reading books and info on this forum for several months now. I finally started reloading a couple of weeks ago and have worked up target loads for 9mm and 40 S&W so far. I'm working with a Lee Classic Turret and Lee dies, with a primer feed and Pro Auto disk powder measure. I also had to build a bench and got many useful ideas from the bench thread.

Just wanted to let you guys (and gals as appropriate) know how much I appreciate the wealth of info I've found here. I know there is no real substitute for actual experience, but after reading through the majority of the posts on this forum I felt pretty confident when I finally starting setting up and loading.

So far, so good... enjoying the new hobby.

I agree with Branded. I've not reloaded yet (waiting on parts sitting in on a UPS truck in Memphis, TN due to the snow), but I've been doing some significant reading and this forum has a wealth of knowledge that has made the learning so much easier.

Looking forward to doing my first reload next weekend.

I gotta echo the others. I have been reading a lot here getting ready to begin handloading. I have supplies in the mail as well as loading books and the ABCs of Reloading. The only things I still have to get are powder & primers - shipping is a problem from most online sources and Alaska. But I used a calculator I found here on THR and even using basic components from Sportsman's Warehouse allows for some nice numbers.

I am looking forward to the relaxation of a new hobby as well as being able to shoot more for the same price - I don't imagine I will really save any money. But I do hope to see improvement as I shoot more and more often.
