[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1541935, member: 14195"] The absolute least expensive way to get into reloading is found here: [url]http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=594408[/url] While his demo is for loading BP loads, there is no reason it won't work with smokeless, just get a scale for smokeless powder and substitute the fiber wads with plastic wads. Next step up is the Lee Load All: [url]http://leeprecision.com/xcart/Shot-Shell-Reloading-Press/[/url] Don't let the price and the looks fool you. It will load quality shells. Most folks don't like the primer feed, I've found it's quicker just to lay out primers on the table and start them by pressing the hull over them, and then use the primer seating station. I've been using a Lee Load All for several years, but again, for BP loads. I've never loaded smokeless powder with it, but it comes with enough powder bushings to cover about any load combination out there. You can load a box of shells in less than 30 minutes with it. I've had mine for over 10 years now, and nothing has ever broken on it. I have the conversion kits so I can load 12, 16 and 20 with it, just takes about 10 minutes to change it over.
