Hello All,
For years I have wanted to get started reloading. As you might imagine, with a wife, two teenagers, a house, three cars, two jobs, one elderly mom,a dog, a cat, a garden, etc... Reloading equipment has always been pushed to the back burner.
Well now I have no other excuse. My wife and I went to some friends house for supper a couple of weeks ago. After supper we were looking around his studio ( he is an artist ) when Charles asked me if I reloaded. I told him I had always wanted too but just never got around to it. He pointed out a bench in the corner and told if I wanted it I could have it and all the stuff to go with it. He just gave me the bench, An RCBS S/S press, powder measure, case trimmer, two sets of scales, seven dies in .357 mag, .44 mag, .45 Colt, .308 Win., .220 Swift, 32-40 Win, and .270. About 400 primers (some price marked @ .85) and six or seven cans of powder, two Speer reloading manuals #8 & 10, and some other misc. stuff. My kind of friend!!!!
To the point of my post, I am looking for some experianced reloaders near me that would not mind helping a rookie out. I would like to visit someone and see their setup, let them walk me through the process, get some hands on experiance. I would like someone to visit me, look over what I have and offer suggestions as to what else I might need, and help me set up. I live in Statesville NC about 45 miles north of Charlotte. As a sales rep, I travel in and around Charlotte extensively and can pretty much go where I need to when I need to.
So if you are out there and would be willing to help, please e-mail me. Thanks in advance and I am really looking forward to joining your ranks.
One other samll dilema is that I'm going to have to buy at least five guns to match some of the dies I now have. Woe is me ;-)
