This is a basic reloading series for someone just getting started, or thinking about getting started.

I use the Lee Hand press in the demonstration because it doesn’t require you to dedicate a space or bolt anything down while still giving you a press type tool to work with. I’m thinking RV or small apartment living here.

In the series we set up and load 9mm and .223 since they are common and represent most of the things you will run into when reloading. I share my understanding of the fundamentals, how to use and understand reloading data, powder, primers, safety and more.

One thing to note: I recognize that reloading in the past (pre Internet) has been a handed down skill. A skill that many of us have developed with different points of view and different opinions on what is important or not. If you see something I omitted please share it in the comments.

I had to walk a fine line between giving too much information, making it too long and still making sure I covered the most important stuff.

I am retired USAF. I reloaded some as a kid, mostly shotgun, then stepped away for many years. After I retired and could put down roots I got back into it again and over time I have found that I like reloading more than shooting. I find it to be an interesting hobby and it scratches my tinkering itch. Sometime ago I started making YouTube videos mostly about reloading… and well, here we are. Most folks call me Tree Top or TTF.
