RE: Advice for a Newbie
Get the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Master Kit ($280 at Mid South Shooters Supply), get a Lee case trimmer with the correct length gauges for each cartridge you load for, the appropriate dies and shellholders. The RCBS kit will come with the latest Speer manual, which will get you started (READ IT!). There is a lot of load data on the web from reputable sources (manufacturers websites), but if you have a particular brand of bullet you like, you might want to invest in a load manual from that company.
Good Luck,
Mike
