[QUOTE="Long Trang, post: 464580, member: 29049"] It doesn't take 'smarts' to safely and properly reload. It only takes responsibility and maturity. That would be a dumb move. That's the spirit!!!! lightbulb If you're responsible and mature enough to handle a firearm, then you're responsible and mature enough to reload your own ammunition. Having 'buddies' or anyone else roll ammo for you to shoot in your weapon is a very bad idea. Have a bit more confidence in your abilities. To add to the answers here, I recommend you first get a hold of some books regarding ballistics (specifically external and terminal ballistics) required to drop the game you intend to kill at long range. That will help you decide on which caliber. Get a hold of some books dealing with the basics of long range shooting. One I can recommend is The Ultimate Sniper by Major John Plaster. That book has everything you need all in one book necessary to get you your understanding of long range accurate shooting. I would recommend buying decent factory loads for you new rifle and save your brass. Practice, practice and practice. Then....practice some more. :) Once you've acquired a few hundred spent casings, you can start learning about and gathering some reloading gear. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
