Reloading 5.56 rounds
« on: February 11, 2010, 06:45:28 PM »
Just in case you guys are right and the Kenyan somehow manages to make the reloading of ammo illegal, is there a simple-stupid how-to document on what I need to get started?

Have you ever reloaded anything before?

See my post   "Finally loading .223 "  about my learning curve  to reload for my AR's.

I was a very experienced handloader of handgun calibers and shotshell prior to starting, so my thread may not be thorough enough to get you started.

The NRA now has a reloading class. Check to see if there are any certified instructors in your area that may hold a class in the near future.
Even if you don't know how, it wouldn't hurt to invest in the equipment now.

Where are you located?  If you are close, I can show you what I know....... that should take about 5 minutes  :D.

edit: I see in you profile that you are in Minden..... that would be a bit of a drive..... I do get out that way a few times a year, as I have relatives in Wilcox, and stop for gas in Minden.......
