      Advice on what *not* to do when just starting to reload?

      Hello from NW Indianapolis!

      Hello all! I found this site while looking for answers about reloading, and it turns out there is lots of good stuff here! I mostly shoot steel targets with .22 and 9mm, but I have been going through a lot of 5.56 and 7.62 lately, so I have been trying to learn about reloading. Thanks for...
