[QUOTE="Mettalikatt, post: 1804239"] Hey all, I finally got my table set up, and have most of my gear to start reloading. I'm missing a piece of my case trimmer, and the owner's manuals to ALL of my equipment as it was secondhand. At any rate, I fiddled with making some cartridges to the best of my understanding with the book I've read, they came out within specs on OAL. I'm using a Redding T7 with RCBS dies, and I'm not sure that my "flaring" second die is really doing much, maybe it's not supposed to? The dummy rounds I've created so far are cycling through my 1911 just fine. I guess what I'd really like is a mentor! While my OAL is within spec I haven't figured out the micrometer on my Powder measure yet, is it just a micrometer for how large the opening is? or is it supposed to measure grains of powder. At any rate, if anyone is in the Edmond area and wouldn't mind teaching a noob how to safely reload I'd appreciate your efforts. -Zach [/QUOTE]
