You need to learn cause-effect relationships to be able to figure out things. One example is learning how to read group spread and what if often means to load tuning. Another thing that I discovered many years ago and it took a while to figure out was the effect of powder signature on load development. I might write a post on that one......anyway having an experienced mentor can shorten the learning curve.
I really do not know anyone close that reloads. In my younger days I reloaded duck and dove loads, still have the MEC loader, but rifle ammo is a whole new world to me. i think I'll read up first before I buy. Thanks for all the info.

“You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.”
