[QUOTE="Zep, post: 608140, member: 39468"] Robin12, The ABCs of Reloading is a good start. As mentioned by others, read, read, read. I also got some pointers from Lee's book. But I have to warn you both are a bit dated but still worth reading in my opinion. There are many other books. I have a copy of Lyman's I will get into this winter, also Sierra's. I have even watched some very good reloading DVDs. Just be careful, some shooters will tell you metallic reloading is a walk in the park but I personally don't see it as such. Try to find a mentor you have confidence in and read, read, read. Also keep in mind not everything you read may be correct so use common sense and your own judgement and when you have a question ask it here and every other place you think you will get a good answer. I have also learned a lot from calling the dealers. Sinclair's has always been very helpful for me. Sierra as well. When you call Sinclair ask to speak to a tech, their techs have helped me when their original salespeople could not. When ever I speak to a tech anywhere I have confidence in I ask them for reading or DVD suggestions, this has given me direction. Regarding equipment, don't let anyone kid you, to do it right costs bucks. I started out using Redding and I have been very happy so far. I am going to use Forster for my next project. Frankly, if you are new to shooting I would just stick with factory ammo for a few years. Things are different than they were even a few years back, there is a lot of very, very good factory ammo that may serve your current needs. Just go slow, read, ask questions and be very careful.
