Reloading DefensiveCarry.com accepts no liability for reloading information posted by members. It is down to the individual posting to ensure safe standards and to readers to verify what they read - it is they finally who bear responsibility for useage of information. Remember - typos can occur!
We strongly recommend that in most cases quoted loads be derived from recognized loading manuals and if possible these should be referenced. Where loads do not have back-up reference data available, for instance with use of an unusual powder, then posters are asked to please detail their method for establishing their data.

I am 22 and want to learn how to reload. My grandpa in in FL for the winter but when he gets back he is teaching me. He has a huge backroom set up with nothing but his reloading tools and gun safes.... Now if he would hurry up and get back here!

Dittos for me too. I started reloading in 1974 for a wild cat 30 Belted Newton I traded for. Still have that gun and it shoots great but have added many dozen more to our collection and reload for many of them.

48 year old male. Reloaded rifle calibers as a teen then took a hiatus until two years ago. Now reloading for my .45.

Near 63 male - been reloading since soon after shedding diapers

The poll should be multiple choice really as most folks need to answer two questions and not one. Do you want a change? Not sure tho if it would convert and keep current results.
