Good morning everyone! Just wanted to give a quick hi/introduction post. I am starting my journey into reloading, mainly 300blk but it will probably spill over into other cartridges later. Will most likely be looking for some brass to experiment with on my new press. In the Tacoma area, also into cars if anyone organizes drives or crosses over hobbies that is.
Anyways thanks for reading and happy shooting everyone -Pat |

Welcome to a Waguns!
Hope you have a deep pocket and lots of time for the research besides the time to actually reload. Lots of Little moving parts to reloading. Where are you planning to test out your reloads? So what with cars? I drive one but there’s so many facets to cars - old, racing, fixing etc etc |

Where are you planning to test out your reloads? So what with cars? I drive one but there’s so many facets to cars - old, racing, fixing etc etc Pockets are okay for now, have plenty of time for research in these times. Unsure on where to test them, the outdoor spot we like to shoot at is near Chehalis, but I am debating applying to Tacoma rifle and revolver club to get better facilities. As for cars, into mostly BMW and Japanese sports cars. Used to do a bit of drifting in my older cars. Currently looking to track my M3 if/when the kids get back to school in person so I can either spend my time at the track or at a range during the week. |

You will find that having a range close and easy for you will pay huge dividends.
As you load up loads - you will want to test a batch out before committing to a whole bunch of time and energy to find out you don’t like it for whatever reason. So yes to apply! Plus it takes time and you’ll have a home range etc. |

Now you start the balancing act between cycling the gun and keep it subsonic.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Welcome to WaGuns !!!
Reloading is a great hobby that goes hand and glove with shooting. You'll soon become a "Range Scrounge" for brass. and a "Bargain Hunter" for components. Good Luck and best wishes. cootduster _________________ Retired May 30th 2018, after 41years. I'm not old. I'm just no longer young !!! |

Welcome aboard. A little know fact about reloading, is that it can be very relaxing. At least, that has been my experience. Now that I think about it, I need to reload more often.
