[QUOTE="rmorgan9718, post: 548712, member: 27677"] Agree with everything said. I had a mentor to lead me thru the basics, and it became the basis for a 35 year friendship. Caliber dependent, start with a single stage press, the best you can afford. It's hard to beat the RCBS Rockchucker, and they are available on ebay or craigslist for $40 to $100. Get a good scale, Digital is OK but finicky sometimes, a steel caliper, I'm not a digital fan, one or two sets of dies for something easy to load, and follow the manual religiously. Once these go bang and your accuracy is acceptable, then look to branch out. I used RCBS RS for 30 years before I broke down and got a Rockchucker. Now there are two RS's, two Rockchuckers, three Dillon 550's, and two or three others I am resurrecting for friends. Go Slow, measure and weigh everything, twice! Ask someone at a range if they reload and would be willing to guide/advise you. Good luck and welcome to the addiction. [/QUOTE]
