There you go, and you are on your way. Now keep your ear to the ground, and more good deals on books will come your way.

Yeah, the funny part is I now have four reloading books... but no reloading equipment.

I wanted to learn how to do it before even thinking about what kind of equipment I'd need. I now know what kind of setup will work best for me and I've been saving both my .40 and .25-35WCF brass at the range (my .308, 7.62x54R, and 7.62x39 are all steel-cased).

I don't think it funny at all that you have the bookes before the equipment. Now you will be able to make a more educated choice when purchasing epuipment. You are on the road to a wonderful hobby. There really is great satisfaction in making and shooting your own ammo. Listen to what Sam and Billy post. They have some great information and are more than willing to share it. I'e been reloading a long time, but have learned a lot from them.
