RE: newbie reloder w/newbie questions
I got the RCBS Rock Chucker kit a couple months ago. It has nearly everything you need, except dies and a trimmer. It has a good how-to section on how to reload. I hadn't ever reloaded or seen it done, but I had no problems following the instructios. Now I've put several hundred rounds of ammo through it.
As far as saving money, yes and no. It costs less money per cartridge, but I make up the difference by shooting a lot more. Accuracy wasn't that bad to begin with, so there's not a huge difference. Bullet selection is probably my biggest reason for reloading.
