Basic Metallic Cartridge Reloading Training

RCBS; The Grand Progressive Shotshell Reloading Machine. Available for use by all full-year members of Clark County Gun Club

Reloading your own metallic rifle & pistol cartridges is not only very economical, it gives you the satisfaction of being able to customize loads to fit various needs from super fast target or varmint loads to heavy loads with lots of knock-down power while maximizing accuracy.

The Metallic Cartridge Reloading course teaches you how to safely reload metallic rifle and pistol cartridges using a variety of components.

This 8 plus hour class leads you through the basics needed to select components and safely reload metallic cartridges. Plenty of time will be available to use these loads after the class.

The class fee includes targets, range fees and enough reloading components to load 20 rounds of rifle or 40 rounds of pistol cartridges. To ensure our ability to acquire components, requests for specific calibers must be made at the time of registration. Additional components will be available for an additional fee.

This is a prerequisite class for CCGC members who wish to use CCGC's metallic cartridge reloading equipment.
