I keep a close watch on Ebay reloading listings. Have been for years and have found a few bagains here and there. It was today that I scrolled down past the listings and found Ebay's helpful hints to those new to handloading. After reading, one word comes to mind, WOW!! From brass selection to (black) powder choices, WOW!! I felt inclined to screenshoot it and share, just for laughs, but I couldn't figure out how to download the screenshot in this post. I copied and pasted the text directly from Ebays'reloading equipment' and is as follows:
How do you choose the right brass for reloading?
If you are ready to reload your own equipment, you will need to purchase the right brass. There are as many brass types on the market as there are already loaded bullets. You choose brass to reload the same way you choose bullets for your firearm.
For instance, if you have a .22-caliber Hornet, you would choose .22-caliber ammo. If you are purchasing reloading brass for your .22, you need to choose .22 brass. Its important to select the right brass to reload or your firearm will not work properly. If you use the wrong bullets in your gun, you could have unexpected results, which could lead to severe injury.
How do you choose the right powder for reloading?
One of the main ingredients in reloading ammunition is powder. Most companies offer black powder in 1-pound or 8-pound containers. Not all black powder is made exactly the same or for the same purpose. Some products are designed for use with rifles, and others are made to be used with pistols or handguns.
Its vital that hunters reload their brass with the appropriate black powder. If the wrong substance or amount is used, the ammo may be dangerous to use.
If you are hunting a particular animal or predators such as coyotes, you may want to use a product that specializes in taking down that varmint.
What hunting equipment reloading supplies are helpful?
In addition to black powder and brass, there are many other supplies that may help you reload ammunition easily and quickly. Useful accessories for making bullets are listed below.
Bullet polish
Media, corn or walnut
Tumbler
Caliper
Lube kit

I think I just forgot everything I ever knew about reloading after reading that....jeeezus.

Don't forget the bullet polish.

How about a link? I can't seem to find that door.

English may not be his/her first language.

I don't know which would be more dangerous: for an expert to write instructions about a potentially dangerous technical process without complete command of the language (and all that implies), or being fluent in the language and writing instructions about a dangerous process you are completely ignorant of.

Hmmm. Maybe I should embrace the power of the word "and."

The person may not be fluent in English AND may be clueless about reloading. I think I'll go with this.

You do know you can't do that. The Hornet is a "modern" cartridge and therefore requires a black powder substitute such as Black Horn, Pyrodex etc.
