[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 288805, member: 15748"] Bill, gettin' some good advice here, especially the point that everyone seems to be in complete agreement on; read everything you can. That alone will go a long way towards making sure you get the right equipment for your needs. Lots of stuff out there, and most of it you won't need. Progressives, single stage, electronic vs. balance beam, etc., this stuff is all available because it suits someone's needs. If there were just one best answer for everything, that'd be the only tool/item on the market and we'd all use it. Take into account what you need to do for you particular reloading situation, listen to the advice or feedback from others who've used that equipment, and go from there. You'll figure out what works best for you, just fine. Start off with cartridges that have a reputation as being easy to work with first (.308, .30-06, etc), if you can, and avoid the "troublemakers" until you get some experience under your belt. Likewise, avoid loading for semiautos until you get an grasp on the process; that's advanced handloading and needs to be regarded as such. Lastly, take the time to ask questions. Bunch'a folks here who'll bend over backwards to help a new guy, no problem at all. Hope it helps, Kevin Thomas [/QUOTE]
