Master the Art of Reloading
Our Mission
Established in 2010, The Reloading Institute takes the fundamental principles of education and applies them to today's Reloading Processes. Using modern reloading products and tools, our students leave with their certification and the skills needed to begin or advance their reloading activities.
Our instructors are NRA-Certified to teach all NRA-designated basic courses. The 285-page Intermediate and Advanced courseware has been developed by our own medal winning instructors. This courseware is kept current and includes all the latest advancements in reloading technologies.
At "The Institute," we don't just describe the process of reloading; we demonstrate WHY and HOW each step is performed. Then we have you perform each step on the latest reloading equipment on the market.
We pride ourselves on serving students at all experience levels. From tactical professionals, military, hunters, and first-time shooters.
Our training lab is located in Grayslake, IL 60030, close to local hotels with easy access to both Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and General Mitchell International Airport, Milwaukee, Wi. A real benefit for our International and out-of-state students.
