Reloading Made EASY!

A quick and simple tutorial about reloading ammunition for both pistols and rifles.

Reloading becomes a simple process with quality Lee equipment and clear instructions

1. Remove the old primer and size the case. This is usually done with the same die. Cases can be full length sized or only neck sized for best accuracy.
