Introduction to reloading
The Smallest Minority blog has a extensive post how to get into reloading. Well worth a read if you have been thinking about starting to reload:
After my offhand comment the other day about how people should get into reloading, I’ve received over a dozen emails asking how a complete tenderfoot would get into it: with a low budget, modest reloading amounts, and so on.
I would appreciate advice from you all as the a “basic” set of equipment one would need, as well as some recommendations for stuff like powder and such.

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
Also check eBay: My Rockchucker (RCBS) cost me $42 as opposed to the retail of $129. It was very dirty, and needed to be taken apart and cleaned, but I would have done that with a new one, as the linkages aren’t lubricated at the factory. This makes a noticable difference, especially when full-length resizing rifle cases.
GunBroker, too: I scored a full length RCBS .308 die set with an additional neck-sizing die for $20.
CH4D: I have the military primer pocket swaging set, which I think is a better approach than RCBS, but the point here is that I called and spoke to Mr Davison (one of the owners) about some parts that the unit I bought off eBay was missing. He spent all the necessary time to answer my questions, and then sent out the required items without insisting on payment first. Of course I paid him as soon as I got the stuff. Good Guy!
