[QUOTE="RidgeTop, post: 2616322, member: 121190"] Welcome to reloading. The way I started 60 years ago was I saved my 30-06 brass and then loaded my brass, bullets and powder on a friends set up, and under his superviion. I then knew what I wanted to look for in equip. So, how much do you shoot, how many calibers, handgun or only rifle? You can always start basic rifle and add as you learn. For this reason I chose not to buy a kit. Get some current manuals and also the 'ABC's of Reloading' and read through them. I load about 3,000 per year, mixed rifle & pistol in 17 different calibers and still do it with the RCBS Rock Chucker which was my first press. I am only now looking at a Lee Loadmaster progressive press. Available time is one factor to determine equip you will get. The Lee press is good for 700 .357mag per hour. Do you need high production? Or more individual production with emphasis on precision specifications? Like I mentioned, see if you can find a mentor with experience. Remember, follow directions and recipes and no experimenting on your own. Be Safe and enjoy the process. BTW, this site has people with thousands of hours and years experience wiling to help. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Jim [/QUOTE]
