Tell us about yourself

Welcome to the forum and to reloading. Thanks for asking our advice.

Our advice will be much more valuable to you if we know what sort of shooting you are doing and what reference materials you already have.

What loading manuals do you already have?

Are you interested in long range high accuracy shooting? Any kind of formal competition? Informal plinking? Home defense? Varmint control?

What kind of bullets are you interested in shooting out of each firearm? For example, will you be doing lots of practice with the .45 ACP (or is it 45 Colt?) and what will your "for real" bullets be?

The twist rate of your long guns would be useful, too, as that will determine the range of velocities over which any given weight bullet will be stabilized.

There are a lot of variables, please don't leave us shooting in the dark, so to speak.


Don't get me wrong. We LOVE to give advice. How on-target the advice is, however, depends on our knowledge of your needs.

Good luck.
