Well today was my first try at reloading. It happened to be with my son and we had a helluva good time with it.
A long-time reloader I know offers a little "class" going over the basic steps, then has you do each of them, ultimately having you load as much as you want to pay for. He supplied all of the equipment, supplies and supervised the operation. Felt good doing it that way, because honestly I didn't know what the hell I was going to be doing. But after just one session I feel like I understand the basics.
We only had time to load 300 rounds but hopefully we'll get a chance tomorrow to shoot some (or maybe all of them). I'll let you know how it goes. If all goes well I'll be back to load more. Who knows, maybe I'll end up getting a rig together!
All of the components were high quality and it turned out to be about $12.50 a box for .45ACP. Not bad!
