[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 335499, member: 15748"] Hi Matt, The kits are definately a cheaper way to go, but they may or may not be the better value. As far as getting started with the least expense, they're probably the way to go. However, piece by piece is the way to wind up with the best set up in the long run. Part of the problem here is that you're new to all this, and don't really know what you want/need just yet. Everybody has different needs for the particular types of shooting that they do. Your situation's no different, you just haven't figured out precisely what it will be yet. Take some time and start with a basic set. Win 69 already mentioned [B][I]The ABCs of Reloading[/I][/B], and that's a worthwhile place to begin learning about the process itself. There's also a host of good manuals out there that will help get you started. Take a look at a few, and I think you'll find that they all offer something. I'd hold off on Glen Zediker's [B][I]Handloading for Competition [/I][/B]though, since it is truly a book for more advanced handloaders. Good info, just not really what you need right now. In the meantime, as you've seen, there's more than enough folks here on the boards who'll be more than happy to lend a guiding hand or offer helpful suggestions. Don't hesitate to make use of this, as it's a pretty good resource. Sincerely, Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
