After looking just about everywhere for handloading tips and good advice this seemed about the best site out there for a novice trying to find out more about loading my own cartridges.

Welcome to the forum,

You have people here to draw upon their experiences with various areas of reloading, so you have come to the right place.

Plus we have fun along the way.

Again, Welcome,

To all the people who took time towelcome me to the forum thanks very much. As I am a novice handloader I am also fairly new to e-mail and most things computer related, I just hope my questions get to those who can answer them. I reload 6.5 swede and .243 and hope to add 30-06 to the list soon so anybody with some advice go right ahead and let me hear it. I have opted to reload only Norma brass in the swede but I am open to any suggestions on the rest.

boilerfan, Welcome to HB. If you do a search on here for 30-06 and 243 I'm sure there are a few threads with loads etc. like this one.


http://www.handloadersbench.com/view_topic.php?id=8993&forum_id=20&highlight=30-06

Or just post up a question and you'll most always get answers. Rockydog
