Getting started reloading

[pavogrande]

buy used tooling, it is rarely worn out --
press - dies - powder scale - vernier - case lube - manual and bobs your uncle --
later consider a trimmer and perhaps a hand primer --
everything beyond basics just makes loading faster or easier, not better ammo --

at this time you are to late to the party for reloading. no primers, powder, bullets, brass to be found. dies are hard to find too. the best you can do at this time is to find someone that will show you how to reload. then save up your money and look for primers, powder, bullets, and brass. but don't be a "fool" and pay the high prices that these butt heads are charging on this site and other sites for primers, powder, bullets, and brass. good luck, but this is not the time to start, the price will be high.

agreed and not really starting yet...gaining knowledge and picking up any components I can if I find them at a decent price. Hopefully by collecting my own brass and taking my time, when supply and pricing improve a little I’ll be ahead of the game on what else I need to get.
