Default Reloading course in Calgary?

Does anyone know if there is a course someone can take specifically on reloading. I have most of the equipment, books and data, but I'm sure I am missing a few important tools. And it would sure be nice if someone experienced could give me and a few of my friends some pointers. Tx!

I believe a tumbler, lubricant, trays, holders ect... I would like to see first hand the process and the safety concerns as well. Tx!

Sarcee Fish and Game has offered reloading courses in the past.

I talked to a guy from the Calgary Fish and Game who was elling tickets at Wholesale for a raffel. I asked him that question and he said they have never offered a full course on reloading. It would take at least a few seessions to do a really good job of going through the basics and then there would be room for an advanced course.

If there were enough interest I am sure we could probably get one put together. The calgary F&G might be interested in hosting it if the guys would be prepared to buy an annual membership. Might be a good way for them to drive membership a little.

If I can figure out how I may put up a poll on how many in the calgary area would be interested in a 3 or four evening basic reloading course.

We had planned to do a reloading seminar in 2009 but due to scheduling conflicts, it never happened. Cross your fingers for this year, maybe it will come together.

I'd be in to take the course as well - although I have loaded for a while, would like to touch base with some of the really experienced loaders, like Dean2 etc
