As an advanced reloader I still enjoy getting back to basic videos. Do I expect to learn something no but it can help me get other people into reloading with it being less intimidating as advanced stuff. Plus it's good background noise!

Getting back to the basics is always a good idea. Maybe going over what a person should be looking for in improvements over factory loads?

Best and most cost effective process of tuning the load. Eg: Process of finding proper combustion followed by tuning the COAL to dial in the harmonics. Or any other method that would be best utilized to help us reduce our rounds used to develop the load and maximize the rounds that go down range to ring some steel.

I like basics. Always a good thing. Sometimes we get involved so much with advanced, we overlook the basics. Also, you might get a newbie interested.

One good topic i think could be interpeting load manual data for the beginner - particularly considerations of different load componants - and when to proceed or not if what youre using isnt listed in your manual. Example different makes of 150gr bullets in 30.06.

Been reloading since the 70's and still learning. I am always interested in how I can make more accurate/ consistent loads.

Buying a basic reloading package vs. individual items. For example a year and a half ago I bought the Hornady Classic starter package for $700.00 and now all I have left is the plastic funnel for pouring powder into the cases and the hand powder measure which is on that stand you have to buy. What a waste of money buying that kit. But again if you are only reloading say 20 to 30 rounds a month it may be ok Stress the point to sometimes buy used as it may be just as good but cheaper. Lots of guys buy everything to reload but then just give up and sell what they have bought at good prices. Dies are a perfect example

A list of each step in order, including annealing as a now or future step. Think a comprehensive plan could help a lot of new reloaders. Also include future steps as they progress, deburring flash holes, properly cleaning primer pockets, possibly swaging pockets and why? Can't wait to see a great series that many of us could recommend to new reloaders!

I'd love to hear about the 4 ingredients (primers, powders, brass, bullets) What are the differences and variations among powders for example? Why would I select 1 over another? Which differences matter? Which don't matter? There are a million variables...what makes 1 load better than another? How do I tell before buying a ton of crap?

Walking through your process step by step and the why you do each step and why you do it in that particular order would be very interesting to me

I’m a new reloader and sometimes the results I see do not make sense. Why do I sometimes get significant gains or losses in accuracy or speed when I add or remove 1 grain of powder? Sometimes I feel like all I’m doing is guess work to get the fastest but most accurate group and when I do this I end up burning a lot of consumables.

Hello, maybe keep it simple and show how to start reloading with a singe stage press from start to finish?

Yes. I recently acquired my first precision bolt gun. I am getting ready to begin reloading. I've reloaded Handgun ammo going back 30< years ago, but Rifle reloading is a different subject. I would appreciate it. As to the specific components of your series, I think how to safely begin and proceed and the thinking behind the progression of loads, including documentation. I've been watching some YouTube videos and I have a short book on order, but everyone wanting to learn how to is skittish about errors and/making mistakes! Thank you!

Abso-freakin-lutely. Being pretty new to reloading I'm always up for expanding my reloading knowledge.

The full process. Still new to reloading but as a former auto mechanic I always picked up something in every class I ever went to so that manufacture training requirements were met.

I like how you've done a quick recap on components used and then do the shooting.

So many reloading yourubers talk right over my head and assume I know half the things they are skipping

How many of you guys would watch a reloading basics series? If so what should it cover?
