ITT..you mess with the NEWBIE....

So, you want to reload? Let's not sugar coat it, this is a serious undertaking!

Look over the hyperlink below for some helpful hints as to what equipment you will need.
But first, reflect upon yourself and determine whether or not you want to invest the time and effort necessary to safely
reload ammunition that (if improperly reloaded) can kill or maim you. The time investment is significant in that you will NEED to read several
reloading manuals before you actually buy anything. Then you will be faced with spending at least $200 in buying the basic equipment that
you will NEED... Then there are the components, and the time and cost to work up loads that your pistol / rifle will shoot accurately.

That's the truth. I started reloading 3-4 years ago when .38 ammo was in limited supply/expensive. I read and read and read some more before I ordered anything. Now my pistol ammo is probably as accurate as anything you can buy over the counter. But it is a serious undertaking...and a serious commitment of time/funds.
