I personally would rather see a person buy a kit and a good manual to start reloading. Leave the friends and family out of it and follow the step by step instructions in the reloading manual.
For over 40 years I have been reloading and when I am doing it nobody is with me because I do not need the distractions and many reloaders I feel have a very bad habit of filling a block with cases then filling the cases with powder then placing bullets to be seated.
Reloading is a relaxing hobby for me and I just plain do not want distractions while doing so.
I need to get a picture of my case size gauge. Have never seen another like it and t is great.
similar to mine.
