D'Angelico FanHand Loading Mentor Needed Southern Pasco Co. Florida
Hi Guys,
If anyone is interested in meeting me and teaching the skill of hand loading,
especially for double rifles, please send a PM. I'm in the vicinity of Rt 54 where
it spans from Rt 589 (Suncoast Pkwy) to Rt 19. Thanks much! (I have a good
amount of equipment.)

HomerOzG'Day D'Angelico Fan,
That has to be one of the smartest requests, I have seen in a while!
Sorry, I'm a little to far away to be of any assistance myself but I hope you have received a PM from a willing helper?
My only words of advice are, be a bit cautious as I have seen some terrible reloaders in my time! Unfortunately, THEY thought they were fantastic reloaders!!!
My other bit of advice is, get a reloading manual and read it from end to end, until you fully understand what it is you will be doing!
If you don't have much engineering experience or knowledge, get the Nosler reloading manual, as it is well written for the inexperienced person!
Hope that helps
Doh!

Scout Master 54Another approch would be to check and see if there is an NRA Basic Metalic Reloading course being offered near you. Check the bulitin boards at your local clubs or gun shops or check with the NRA Education Dept. on line or by phone. It's a great way to get some hands on experence, try out the equipment and crank out some ammo. The Text used in the class is a good reference book too. I've been teaching the program for years.

RustyI live in Texas, but I'd be glad to contact you through email and phone to help if you can't find anyone near you. I reload for my doubles. You may contact me directly if you wish.
