[QUOTE="Hikinghunter, post: 2991896, member: 128309"] Getting into reloading. After reading “the ABC’s of reloading” by Phillip Massaro, I feel like I have a general grasp on the basics. What I’m looking for is the general “don’t do this” safety measures that’ll make sure I don’t learn something the hard way. So far, it looks pretty simple. Anything I should add to the list below? Note: I only plan to reload rifle ammo. - don’t mix up pistol and rifle powder (moot, as I won’t be loading pistol) - take measures to avoid spilling your primers all over the place. Keep them somewhere different from your powder. - inspect your brass -have a system for making sure you don’t “double-load” (although it seems like if you double-loaded a rifle cartridge it would overfill and spill all over the place) - don’t smash your hand in the press - don’t light your can of powder on fire (ok, that one is a little too obvious) Anything to add? Seems like a relatively safe endeavor if you don’t do obviously dumb things. There’s an endless amount of stuff to squeeze accuracy out of a round, but the basic safety measures seem pretty simple.
