Just Got The Green Light From My Boss to Get Into Reloading!

[HoneyBadger]

Woohoo! Mrs. HoneyBadger just gave me permission to buy my first reloading equipment!




I want to start with just a basic Lee press to learn the basics, then maybe upgrade to something else later if I want to.
looking at maybe buying this starter set: http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-...loading+manual

Can anyone recommend a good beginners' reloading guide?

Actually, at this point, I'll take recommendations on just about anything.

Congrats! The abcs of reloading is a must buy. My first press and I still have, is a rock chucker.

Congrats, HB.

I'm working with a Lee kit as well.

Start with a single stage press and start collecting reloading manuals. Lyman 49th is a good start. It takes time to accumulate stuff, so pick your first caliber and begin collecting components. As you get into it you will figure out things that work for you based on your needs, your budget, and your space available.

If a Dillon 1050 magically fell out of the sky into my backyard, I just don't have any place to mount it. I would really enjoy the opportunity to find a place if anyone would like to give me one.

Read and get together with someone nearby to see what they do and why they do it. You will develop your own system because you need to understand and be comfortable with what you are doing.

Congrats!

I also recommend the ABCs, and the Lee Modern Reloading book for that Lee package. I also have hornady, RCBS, and lyman books. The more the merrier.

I bought the RCBS rockchucker kit when I got started, and it's been a great press for what it's worth.

I'm sure i could find some room for it up here.

Congrats! I'm jealous. I was putting an order together for my first reloading press, but then my dog needed emergency surgery, so my savings (and foreseeable future savings) disappeared. Still on the radar though. I was going to go with the Rock Chucker though.

Midsouth shooter supply has a decent deal on a RCBS kit. Catalog just came out.
