Joe,

Do you know of anyone in your area who loads their own? I was thinking that, if you do, maybe they would allow you to sit and watch them do it for awhile and it might give you a better feel for what the task is like. It is not a hobby for me; I do it in order to be able to afford to shoot enough to maintain an acceptable degree of proficiency with my handguns. So you don't have to have fun doing it; you just have to be willing to do what is required in order to assemble a thoroughly safe product. Nevertheless blujax's post needs to be carefully considered; there are some personality traits that increase the risk of hazardous errors, oversights, etc.
