OldmanFCSA's Reloading Training - Awesome!

[ssax]

My father and I went out to visit OldmanFCSA and Murphy (his dog) on Saturday to learn the basics of reloading and get some hands-on. We had a helluva good time and learned quite a bit in the 4-5 hours we spent there, I can't thank him enough for providing this service, it really was a great experience!! It's really great to have somebody like him in our community willing to do this. I was happy he was able to accommodate training us both, we both got some hands-on and he answered all our questions and questioned us a bit as well to make sure we understood. I'm glad I got to share this experience with my father.

If anybody is looking to get into reloading, I definitely recommend you take him up on his offer and get in there and learn, you won't be disappointed. He really did a wonderful job of explaining each step and what was happening during those steps and some of the pros/cons of different equipment, it really helped me get a feel for it and I'm looking at picking a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme single stage press this week. I was going to pick up a Dillon 550B but after seeing all that's involved and with OldmanFCSA's recommendation to start on a single stage until you're comfortable with the process for safety reasons, I decided to go with the single stage. I will say I was a bit nervous about getting into reloading because you're essentially working with explosives but after learning the process with OldmanFCSA and doing it in a safe way I'm ready to begin my own reloading journey.

He is a very friendly guy (as is Murphy) and a great teacher and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I was extremely impressed with his setup and his toys!

We learned how to and actually loaded 9mm, .223, and .308. We learned on Lee (unsure of specific model), a RCBS Rock Chucker, and he even gave us an introduction to the Dillon 550B and let me load a couple under his careful supervision.

Take the plunge and learn from a seasoned vet, it was phenomenal! Thanks again OldmanFCSA!!

Thank you for the great review !

Remember, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to call me. Do not proceed thinking you "might" know the answer, call instead to verify the correct answer.

And if you need any assistance setting up your equipment, I can help you, and I will "fine-tune" so your reloading experiences are problem-free. Bring it all out, I will set it up on my benches and work with you until you are totally comfortable with the entire process.

Thank you again for the kind review.
