I'm 19 and will be learning about reloading as I go. Do you have any advice for a beginner other than reading the reloading manuals?
Have someone that has a good head on their shoulders and has significant reloading experience show you the ropes. The more educated they are, the better, regarding formal and practical knowledge with applied physics. It's important to understand the relationship between pressure, temperature, volume, and density, while being able to follow logical procedures for using simple mechanical devices. Understanding how to diagnose pressure in a firearm, starting with a chronograph, then looking at brass & primer signs, are some of the most important things you'll deal with when hand-loading.
