Of course, I still had to experience my personal learning curve, but reading magazine articles and books gave me a very good start.

First handloads were made with a Lee Loader, mallet, some powder, a box of CC primers, Speer bullets and a bit of luck. No mentor but I did grow up close to a gunshop where everybody that came in the place handloaded ammo. I was the punk kid (about 8 to 10 years old) who hung around the place asking stupid questions.
