[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 365707, member: 8037"] I'll tell you up front that you should not buy any equipment until you have a good picture in your mind of what you'll be doing. That means reading, talking, asking questions. Performing SEARCHES on the forums will bring more than you could expect. For starters, I'll suggest a couple of books. [i]The ABC's of Reloading[/i] and Lyman's [i]Reloading Handbook[/i] will give you basic overviews of the equipment and how to use it. There are some more advanced books once you've absorbed those. You should go through several stages of anticipation before purchasing. The more you know, the better your choices will be.

Forster and Redding make some of the better stuff, especially their presses and dies. Careful consideration should be given to your choice of powder weighing and dispensing equipment.
