Norco,

Welcome to the club. I've been at it for a little over fifty years and am still in the learning stage. After a while the question comes up as to whether you reload to shoot, or shoot to reload. The new Lyman #49 manual has an excellent section for beginners. I suggest that you buy one and read it at least twice before spending a dime. It will answer many of your questions. It will also raise questions that you don't even know about at this time. That is where a site such as this comes in real handy. There is a good group of people here who will help in any way possible.. Good luck. God Bless.[&:]
