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.

Hat Tip: Mr CompletelyÂ
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!
