I have had two people approach me for training for reloading. I got to thinking it would be great to have a page of do's and don't s for them to refer to. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions for the list.
Thanks in advance.
Reloading
NEVER- have more than one
1-powder on the bench.
2- primer size and brand on the bench
3- cal of brass on the bench
Never shoot loads that you are unsure what they are.
Never force anything.
When in doubt, stop, step back and think it through.
Always-
1- keep bench clean.
2- inspect brass
3- consult more than one reloading manual
4- double check everything
5- throw powder and primers away if not 100% sure what it is.
6- put a sticker on powder measure with powder brand and charge weight.
7- load a few rounds then check for fit and function.
8- label ammo boxes and keep log of loads.
9- visually inspect powder charge before seating bullet.
10 walk away when getting exasperated.
11-Approach max loads slowly.
Thanks in advance.
