Is there a "starter kit" that supports both rifle and pistol reloading, (I realize I'd have to buy the caliber-specific components seperately)? I guess my main question is what specifically will I need to get started, and how would you recommend gaining some experience and knowlege firsthand without blowing myself up? I've been all over the web looking for some kind of "reloading 101" type of thing, but there doesn't seem to be anything geared toward beginners. Thanks...

P.S. For my first kit, I'm looking at the "RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Press Master Kit" from Midway USA. Any opinions on it?
Get a reloading kit and of course a reloading bible. Most starter kits will have everything you need. It may not be the most efficient way to reload but it will work. You need to just get started then you can figure out what you need to suite your needs. If you get set up and need help let me know.

Just my .02
