RE: getting started
I have been reloading for just about a year now. I started out with the Lee Anniversary Kit with the manual. You gotta have the manual plust manuals for the types of bullets you plan on reloading. You can find some good deals on some of the manuals on eBay.
The only thing that I changed from the kit was the scales...I prefered the RCBS 5-0-5 scales...I would like to have digital, but they are quite expensive.
Now that I have loaded around 100 rounds of 30-06 and getting ready to load up about 200 rounds of 9mm Lugers, I have decided I want to step up a bit and get a Lee Turret Press.
Yes, people will put down Lee, but there isn't a thing wrong with Lee products. At least I have not had a problem with them what so ever. The scale works great, I just like the RCBS better.
Do the research, if money is an issue, I would say diffenently go with the Lee. Especially if you don't know whether your going to like reloading or not.
