You are going top hear this alot.

Buy a manual from any one such as LEE Modern Reloading II, Speer, Hornady, Nosler, Etc. In these manuals is the basics of how to reload.

Read them, and then read them again and again.

Equipment comes in many different colors and price ranges. I am really high on Lee single stage presses. They are great for the money spent and will last a life time. Lee dies are inexspensive and work great, so do others die companies.

It is a great hobby that pays great rewards in the shooting world, and can pay for itself if you exercise caution and restraint to not have to buy the latest and greatest.

Yep get a few reloading manuals and read them over several times. Once you read them, you'll have an idea of what you need.

i agree also in reloading it is better to ask before trying.....

Read the manuals, find a friend who does it and watch him carefully, then reread the manuals again.

You can find a lot of information about reloading online. Do a little searching and see if you can find the answers to your questions.

A single stage is a good simple reloader to use to get started and not that expensive. Most use a progressive loader of some sort to speed things up. I use both. You should be able to recover the initial cost of your equipment within a year.

Most reloading companies have their reloading information online.

Also Brianenos.com is a great site for reloading info. and he sells alot of dillon products if u decide to go that route. Pretty much all my dillon stuff came from him.
