I found a few videos on Youtube on the basics of Reloading Dies, so I guess you could say I'm doing homework lol. It's actually so I learn about the procedures and the parts so I can talk to the customers who phone me at work about their gun related questions. I find it very interesting. I think I would however have a better grasp on things if I actually physically did reloading. I'm more of a hands on person. I doubt however they would allow me to do that at work.

It is simply the paying of dues----You will reach a point where you have achieve the safety required.
To have fun-- start with the loading of an Old Kentucky Long Rifle--50 calb. There are many states that have a season just for old guns.
Then you could wear some leathers and a coon hat--smiles

Funny, I just spent my last two free evenings reloading for 7.5 French and 7.7 Arisaka.
You can buy simple loading kits and do 15 or 20 rounds and it's a good way to spend an evening, plus you get in touch with the basic concepts of how brass and powder, primer, bullet and pressure work together. It takes the mysticism out of cartridges.
There is something more important about a round that you have handcrafted over one factory produced. Each shot becomes an event in and of itself rather than one in a string of repeated shots.

This is something that I'm definately getting into if I stay in Kalifornia...this past week the Governator signed a bill that would require a record of your I.D. (I think even a thumb print!) when you buy ammo here!
I'm already like a virus in the gonvernment's database, from military time to airline employee time, to truck driver time - hell, even for some of the friends that I have(!)...what in the hell do they need my thumb print for now? They know who I am, and they know that I'm harmless!

Some of the people phoning me are legally blind but still shoot. I was surprised about that.

The ZEN state of marksmanship. hummmmmmmmmmm.....
That's why I prefer the bow. One shot,,, one chance,,, you are there,,, or you are not. Total concentration,,, blocking all other things from mind,,, distractions of spirit,,,, torment of soul,,,,,,,,,
zzzzzz,,, bat.
now inhale.

"...Each shot becomes an event in and of itself..."
And that is why you too, can experience instant gratification upon firing a machine gun.     
I personally don't own one, but been there/done that many a time both in military and civilian life. (I love Nevada...) Funny...was just listening to an old punk some today, titled 'I Wish I Was In El Salvador", by Jello Biafa & D.O.A....
...memories...
I'm still pretty good: after being out of the service for 22 years I can still hit a Pepsi can at 100 metres with iron sights - with a single shot & standing up/no bipod or bench...
