You might be
thinking to yourself why should I reload?
It's cheaper and easier to just buy ammo, especially when there's a
great deal at Walmart or some other big box store. Sure, it's easy to just buy
ammunition, but you're missing a big part of the overall shooting experience.
When I started
reloading, I learned about the cycle of shooting. Yes, like the cycle of life,
there is a cycle to shooting and reloading completes the cycle. I would reload
a shell, go out to the range the next day, drop it in my gun, shoot it, watch
the target break, keep the empty hall, and then reload it again that evening,
starting the cycle all over again. It made me feel I was a part of the entire
shooting process. It also gave me great confidence in my ammunition. I knew I
loaded that shell and I knew it was good.
I started with a 600 Jr. I
loaded on it for a few years, upgraded to a Grabber when I became more
proficient and then finally a 9000.
Reloading is easy
and it's fun. Getting started is even easier. Right here on the MEC web site
are videos that explain the reloading process. And if you want one-on-one
instruction, stop by and take one of the free MEC reloading clinics taking
place around the country. Here's a listing of locations. The MEC staff is
knowledgeable and will spend as much time as necessary for you to feel
comfortable.
They’ll also help
you pick the right reloader based on the sport you're in, the amount of
shooting you do and most importantly, who's doing the reloading. I suggest
starting with the 600 Jr. Mark V. It’s the best way to learn the reloading
process. From there, once you feel comfortable, you can upgrade to one of the
other models. Just remember, it’s not
how fast your reload, but how good the reload is. Quality…. not quantity and
with a MEC reloader, you can’t help but get a quality reload and a quality
support staff standing behind you to help you along the way.
Get started and let
me know how it goes. I’d enjoy hearing
from you.
