***NOTE to Forum Mods ...I have asked and received permission from Derek (Admin) to post this same entry under both 'Reloading' and 'Training' ...thank you for your attention.***
Owing to the strong interest in reloading, spurred-on by prices and political climate, we are holding a free reloading clinic/exhibition at the Monadnock Rod & Gun Club on Route 202W (595 Jaffrey Rd.) on the Jaffrey-Peterborough line. Sat July 18th, 10am
There will be several types of reloading equipment on display, along with rifle/pistol/shotshell loading.
We are planning on displaying .223 (small rifle) loading on a single-stage RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme. .45 ACP on a Dillon 650 progressive (plus other calibers). And most likely 12 gauge shotshell. There will be several types and manufacture of presses available for your perusal.
This will be both exhibition and hands-on (as much as time and availability will allow). The steps from cleaning brass, lubing, resizing, trimming, priming, charging, seating, etc. There will be several miscellaneous pieces of euipment and calibers present ...some to see and some to touch.
Varieties (and conditions) of brass and bullets will also be on display.
As things progress, I will update this thread accordingly.
Club Members who are gunsmiths/manufacturers, and just plain old well-experienced handloaders will be there to answer questions and help beginners and the experienced alike.
There will be materials and discount certificates there from manufacturers. Along with video giveaways and running videos to aid the beginning reloader.
The event is rain or shine, held outdoors under our large main pavilion. We will add canopy/tent coverage as necessary.
While this is a fairly informal event, we take safety seriously. Anyone who has experienced the firing of an over-charged cartridge, or a primed uncharged cartridge (squib-load) is well-aware of the potential for disaster when the correct and precise steps involved in reloading are ignored. Reloading can be a rewarding and fun activity and save you both money and increase your loads' accuracy/consistency. But all of that is for naught if you don't concentrate on the basic steps.
We are not selling any reloading equipment or supplies at this event, it's just for educational purposes. That said, if you have any reloading equipment that you'd like to trade or sell, then feel free to do so. NOTE: On August 1st, we are holding a Flea Market, primarily of sportman's goods ....camping/shooting/archery/fishing equipment. Please contact us regarding that date if you have old goods to sell:
