Moto, I don't think there is anyone here who has not benefited from the general membership. I had been reloading for somewhere around thirty years before finding the internet and finding this site. Never had a real problem but, this is where I started to get interested in and working on PRECISION reloading. Beyond a doubt, it has made a measurable difference. Cost a few bucks too, but it has been worth it! Welcome aboard.

I started reloading some 35 years ago. I was very fortunate that a very close friend helped me get started. I learned most of the basics from him, and reading my first reloading manual.I bought my first varmint rifle about 12 yrs ago. And I found this site after reading and purchasing my 204. The people here have been absolutly wonderful. I even got to meet some of the members and go shooting "skippy" with them. :D I have since learned much from them, and now I can also contribute in the helping of "Newbies".
As per your problems, I don't think I can add to the suggestions above. Best of luck and above all, keep safe!

Amen to that. I first started reloading a few years ago and this forum has been a wealth of information that saved my newbie butt more than once. Everyone is more than willing to share their knowledge and I was never once made to feel my questions were stupid. Thanks to everyone, especially RIO.

'Preciate the kind words......I only hope I'm worthy.

When I returned to "The World" in '68, besides my dad who was a big game guide and wrangler at our ranch in BC, I had a champion BR shooter in the SF bay area take me under his wing at the local range and steer me in the right direction, always answering my dumb questions with patience. The future of our pastime is in the hands of the newbies just starting out now. It's in all our best interest to nurture new shooters, teach them our combined knowledge so they can enjoy our sport as we have for all these years.

Like most here, I too have learned from our little gathering place. It's just a great place to grab a cup of coffee, pull up a stool, and be in the company of like-minded folks yakin' about the stuff we all love.

And besides, it just feels good helping out fellow shooters. :D
