Hey buddy, There are lots of resources out there...I recommend getting a Speer reloading manual and they explain all about reloading in it!There is also an NRA book "Handloading" that is Excellent and IF you know someone that Reloads and can get some hands on time with them, learning can be fast and fun at the same time!:nod:

Read the speer manual cover to cover then stort with an inexpensive kit to see if you like it -- I highly recommend the Lee Anniversary kit, they average about $70. The next thing after getting the kit read the entire book that comes with it. Then you will have to find a source for powder - primers and bullets. Bullets can be mail ordered and I would find a local source for primers and powder as that can be the expensive part of shipping with all the hazmat charges. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...=7510101020603

I started with the Speer manual. There are alot of others out there, I found it easy to understand and straight forward. You can learn a lot before purchasing equipment. My original speer manual is held together with duct tape.

a couple of reloading manuals is a good start. and yes, you can get started cheap with a Lee kit, but if you are fairly serious about reloading i would recomend jumping into something a little more complete like an RCBS rockchucker master reloading kit.
