Well guys,
I am new to reloading.
I just put my first batch of brass LC in my dillon tumbler,the brass looked like hell , I thought there was no help.
Well after a few hours it looked brand new-I see now why you guys are addicted to reloading-make something or create something its sweet.
Man  I am just cleaning brass and am happy as hell-cant wait till i create my first load.

Sometimes I love to just sit back and look at the completed round I just made.  Like you said, you take this dirty, cruddy piece of tarnished brass, make all shinny, put a fresh new primer in it, load up some powder and a bullet, and you can go put holes in stuff with it.  It's also a good way to relax.

On that note though, be careful.  Make sure you've done your reading, multiple times.  Fucking up means at best you ruin some brass or your gun, at worst you lose your face.

Happy loading.

P.S. - the guys here are awesome.  If you can't get your questions answered anywhere else, ask here.  You will almost always get a good answer.

Be sure and get a good digital camera. It makes it much easier to determine what you did wrong if you post a pic.

If you are that happy because you have clean brass, wear a cup to the range when you fire your first found.  Don't want you confusing your bullet entry hole with the your wad that you shot 100 yards down range.

It used to be that I was exited to have ammo to shoot, so I'd go shoot it.  

Now, I like to shoot so I can reload my brass!
