BobJr--let me add my welcome!
And a suggestion--
The ABC's of Reloading is an awesome resource for the new reloader as well as the expert. It is a how-to and more importantly why-and-why-not-to kind of book. Wish it had been around when I started.
Get it @ yr local sptg gds sto, gun sho, the I'net, or from the publisher, Krause Publishing,
www.krause.com
The ABC's is now in its 7th edition. They must be doing something right. XLNT reading matter for those lonely evenings away from yr home.
