Newby Question

Chronograph. If you are loading 6.5G in an AR you will need it. Ready up on pressure washing signs for that cartridge before starting. Sounds like bunk, but there are some specific things about that cartridge in the AR platform that make it more idiosyncratic and sensitive to pressure signs. If you see much in the way of traditional pressure signs then you are already too far. Most problems come when people try to make the 6.5G the 6.5C. It's not a burner, so don't make it one.
 
I don't think it's dumb at all. I'm a visual learner too. So, if anyone within an hour or so of Clarksville is setup to reload and wouldn't mind me coming by and picking their brain a little, and checking out their setup. Please PM me.
You are lucky; besides Midsouth Shooters Supply, you have Tennessee Gun Country, 1435 Fort Campbell Blvd. The owner David Bata helped me acquire some powder when I was getting started. You might want to go in there and check them out.
 
I started a couple years ago and was fortunate I had a buddy who has loaded for 20 years. The forum has been a blessing for me as the guys in here will answer any questions I've had. Good luck, I've been frustrated at times and also rewarded with the best groups ever.
 
This might be a good start.


Then powder, primers, projectiles will be the tougher items to procure currently. And a good reloading manual or three.
Some really good prices on those kits and presses. I seriously considered adding a press with the rockchucker being only $89.

A lot of good advice given. I don't load for either of those, so have no recommendations on powder. Starline had 6.5 grendel brass available for backorder a few days ago, doubt it is still available, but would be worth checking. When they have it for backorder, you can place your order and you will usually get your brass inside a week to ten days.

Midsouth is great. You can order with them and modify your order, they will hold your items and you can pick up in store. Wish they were closer to me.
