[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1613994, member: 69192"] Hello West, I have to somewhat agree and then disagree with not buying a manual when one first gets started. Yes you can get your load data for free on most of the sites; however, they do not give you the technical information that you can go over and read a couple of times or more to get your own answers. I agree on buying advanced books once the OP gets familiar with reloading, but first starting out, I'd recommend more that one manual. The OP wrote, [I]"I’ve been reading a ton of posts on here and other sources, watching videos, etc." [/I]The only concern I have about reading posts on any forum and watching videos is that there is a lot of "misinformation" that is out there online.
