Hey all,
Found this forum through a friend. Just getting started with reloading. Looks like I should have started last year, components are a bit hard to find... Hopefully that will get better in a few months.
I shoot IDPA, USPSA, and 3-Gun in Iowa, attended the first 3-gun match for 2013 last weekend in the snow.
I started a forum for Iowa clubs and ranges to help spread the word, trying to get more new shooters involved.

fla3006Welcome. I started reloading in the late 70s because I bought a SAA 45LC, ammo was about $20 a box and I earned about $15K annually. I could reload using cast lead for about $2.50 per box and still afford to shoot a couple hundred rounds on weekends. Since then, I load all my ammo, 223-500A2, except 22LR & shotgun. I'd load shotgun too except I have always had lots of shells I got cheap or free and don't hunt birds much anymore. I find reloading very relaxing.
