Reloading Survey II
I like the other survey, but have a twist to it. I was in my mid-40 when I started reloading. How old were you?

52 and tried loading my first rounds today. Something is not right, an experienced friend came over and couldn't figure out what was wrong but suspects the die that flares the case is not right. Its kind of frustrating to try to learn something like reloading and then after screwing around for a couple of hours finding out the equipment is not right.

Too long ago to be sure!!
 I guess probably around 20 something but - slow start and dabbled. Mostly shotshells. Got into serious metallic centerfire stuff probably around late 70's.
