I'm enjoying every bit of it so far. Tedious, but fun as hell!This^
Treat it like a hobby. Enjoy it. If it becomes a chore then rolling your own becomes mundane.

This was a real problem for myself, so I went to the local tractor/feed store and bought rubber mats for horse stalls, cut them to fit.Put a mat down on the cement floor as I've wrecked the mouth on so many dropped cases !
Dont use Hornady one shot or any other spray on case lube or you will get stuck cases at some point. Get a headspace comparator to measure shoulder bump and a bullet comparator to measure base to ogive. Make sure your primers are fully seated or it will throw your measurements off. Dont use too much case lube or you will cause dents in the shoulder when sizing. If you have neck sizing only dies throw them away and buy FL dies and bump the shoulder .002 back. Know your chamber specs so you can turn necks if needed. Measure your seating depth to the lands with the bullet you are using and load a dummy round and keep it with your dies for a reference later. Dont rush anything ever. And last buy good equipment and don't look back. Buy once cry once.View attachment 117197 New to the sport and reloading. Currently working on building up my reloading bench with all the goodies needed to work. What are some do's and dont's y'all have learned over the years that you like to pass on? Currently reloading for my Bergara B14 HMR chambered in 6.5CM.
