NRA Hand Loading Course

The NRA’s Hand Loading Course will assemble in the NRA Pavilion at 09.00 on Saturday 2 March. The course will be led by NRA Deputy Chief Instructor Myles Robertson and there will be a number of other instructors in attendance.

The NRA Hand loading course is designed to familiarise the student with the basics of reloading metallic cartridges with emphasis on safety.  This course will focus on hand loading .308 /7.62 calibre only.   You can bring your own .308 firearm and may (subject to inspection beforehand) get the opportunity to measure and use it.   Note:  security of your own kit during the weekend will be your responsibility.

It will run over 2 days and involve practical hands on reloading and testing.
