I like it and considering that it's just starting up as a subforum, it will continue to see increased useage.

I think vote so far says it all - it is a useful resource IMO.

I may have reloaded for ages but - always good to exchange ideas etc.

I am very happy with this sub forum. While visiting the daughter and her husband and the grandtwins in Colorado Springs over turkey day, I managed to pick up almost everything to start reloading from Sportsmans Warehouse. Quite a place, my credit card started to vibrate in my wallet when I walked into the store. The people there were very helpful about answering the questions I had and got me the basics to start reloading. A couple books, press etc. etc. Got most of my questions answered by just drifting around in this forum. A couple I didn't find the answers to were sent off to Tubby45 last night. He answered in a way I could understand, I was just reading too much into some things.

I poured some powder into the scale pan. Couldn't believe that little bit of powder could push the bullet out of the case, let alone hit a target. Verified the charge on a digital scale, it was correct. Checked the charge 3 times before accepting the fact that I was doing things correct. Messaged Tubby45 real quick. He confirmed what my eyes saw but my brain didn't accept. Loaded 5 rounds. Took them out with me deer hunting this morning. When it was time to leave, I sent them into a stump. They all worked great. Now I have another "addiction" in my life, reloading. Thanx Tubby45, for the quick answers and your help.

I think it is great, I wish I had somthing like this when I first started reloading.
I find that no matter how much one does somthing others can always teach you somthing. As time goes on I am sure this will just get better. My only problem is affording all the new dies and a new Dillon 650 press.

I think this is great. Now I know when I ask question about bullets, I will get answers about bullets and not ammo.

This is a great area to talk about powder, bullets, primers and reloading equipment.

I think its a great forum for basic questions without getting into too much techincal jargon that tends to scare people away from asking simple questions.

Its a start. A good place to go for simple answers.

One vote for ''not great at all" ......... own up!

I think overall for ''us few'' it will be a valuable asset - and over time accrue some good info to point noobs at.
