Re: Want to learn more about reloading

Right now, I'm saving a little money since it has such a high initial expense.

Re: Want to learn more about reloading

Great advise here. I enjoy reading so the books will help. I will check out the stores. Not looking for self defense loads, just more range time.

Lyman book is very good. What do you want to reload? Pistol, rifle, shotgun? I reload all but I would not say any are cheaper. For a good not too expensive setup I would look at Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Press Deluxe Kit , $185 at Midway.
One great source also is YouTube as many have posted fine videos of their reloading experience.
The final hurdle in reloading is getting supplies and powder can still be difficult to obtain. All in all, reloading is a lot of fun, not necessarily cheaper, more important for rifle than pistol. I would suggest not spending a lot of money on a progressive press to start, the Lee press above has about everything without spending a fortune and will turn out quality ammo.
At the moment 9mm. I will check into that one, thanks.

Want to learn more about reloading

I have been a shooter all my life but have never reloaded. I curious to learn more. If I do decide to move forward, I would love advise on how to get started and maybe avoid some new guy pitfalls.
