RE: How hard is it to reload??
Hi Norco,
Reloading is actually fairly easy....but intimidating when you first start. You can learn from only using a manual, (and you definitely should use a manual), but if can seem much simpler if you watch a knowledgeable reloader a time or two first. (Just make sure you use the manual...to develope your loads.)
Also I believe several of the manufacturers have video tapes available that explain and walk you through the process. Still to be used in conjunction with a manual(s).
The worst part is just getting over the "fear" of learning....or making a mistake. You need to pay attention...and be respectful...but it really is rather straight forward!
Good luck.
