I have shot stuff all my life (no people- eating animals yes- slings, slingshots, bows/arrows and GUNS).  I am a school teacher (read not much money) and know SOME science.  Now, reloading I have always thought would be fun- and then I found I was having trouble buying ammo!  So, being a Southern boy, I am willing to go to the copper mines of Gaul and collect material to make brass, make gun cotton- have already collected wheel weights- SO I CAN SHOOT.  I am a newbie and cannot afford many mistakes.  I intend to read all that I can get my hands on and talk to folks in the OKC area.  Started with a Dillon 550- and 45 acp- doing 308 next, then 9, then 308, and of course my swedish mauser.- forgot my Makarov and my SKS/mini 30!

You guys seem like a down to earth bunch which is always the best place to begin to learn.

THANKS!
