Teaching a noob to reload/handload
My brother "SirJoxford" is needing to learn how to reload. I have a stash of 55gr FMJ's I need loaded up...maybe I can teach him while doing those. The 223 should be a good one to start with, since it has all the necessary steps needed to know.
Things he'll learn:
1) case inspection,sorting and tumbling
2) resizing
3) trimming and removal of primer crimps if applicable
4) deberring and chamfering
5) cleaning primer pockets and seating the primers
6) powder measuring with digital and mechanical scales/powder measures
7) bullet seating and crimping
Am I missing anything?
I might switch on the camera and catch him in action

#2 - Lubing and resizing. I have forgotten that one more than once.

Yes,yes...I'll be sure to go over a few different lubes or techniques.
I might as well add in manuals/data, since I forgot to mention that too.

Sounds good to me... As soon as the shops cleaned up I'll start bugging you about my shotgun loads.
I picked up a nice LEE 12 gauge press "hand me down"

The big one for right now is finding components.
