Turn 60 next week, and I have reason to believe (signed for a package that says "Lee" on all sides of the box) my boys are fixing me up to reload and I am interested in learning what are your favorite sources of online reloading info and forums.  I have already begun to acquire the printed favorites, hoping this box is for me !!

Thanks for all help.

I'm partial to our own reloading forum here on AR15.com.

This thread will be there in 3, 2, 1...

The AR15 reloading forum is, without a doubt, my first choice for everything reloading.  Really good group of people here!

This place is great for rifle - especially ARs (no surprise there).

For semi auto pistol rounds, there are dedicated sub forums for 9mm, 40, 45, etc. over on www.brianenos.com which are also useful.

All things cast-lead-bullets are likely on "cast boolits" forum (google it).

Alot of the pics on in the pinned threads don't work.  Kind of sucks.

My favorites are this one (knowledgeable folks, well policed for bad info - always my first stop), Snipershide (esp for details on long range shooting / load development), thefiringline.com, then Glocktalk.  It is amazing how many cross posts you see on each of these...  Oh, and as mentioned earlier, Castboolits is THE place on lead info / casting.

The RESOURCE threads at the top of the reloading is a great start. It took me days to read & reread all the info. Then here, Brian Enos and, while i will get some flak for it. youtube. I am good at reading instructions, it takes some time to transition to hands on. Watching some youtube videos puts it in perspective. Always been easier for me like OTJ training. Enjoy your new addiction, downside is the buying sprees you might go on component wise.

Thanks, all for the info.  Really had no idea I was so close to this choice. All suggestions will get attention.

I am very new to reloading and this is probably the best forum I've read s far.  The people here are extremely knowledgable and are great about explaining stuff to new guys.

Aye, I gotta agree with pretty much everyone else. This forum helped me tremendously when I was first starting out reloading, a little under a year and a half ago.

Just this one for anything metallic.  Even though I consider myself experienced, always learning new things, like COSteve's 650 tips and tricks, SS tumbling, new tools, powders, first hand experience with wolf primers, NuFinish for media polish, the horrors of Hornady One Shot, etc.





Occasionally I consult http://www.shotgunworld.com/ for some extra shotshell expertise, but I haven't changed my load recipe for over a decade, if it ain't broke don't fix it, so it's rare that I go there now

I remember when I was a new guy and AssaultRifler was a big help to me.



Everyone was new to the forum at one time.
