New to reloading from Northern CA

[reckless]

Hello everyone,

I just ordered my first reloading kit from Lee. I chose the Lee 50th anniversary kit after researching and hearing that it is a good kit to start with. I have been shooting occasionally now for 2 years and would like to get to know more about all the components that go with producing an ammo and the effects of powder, bullet weight, etc.

I currently own a Taurus PT45 (45ACP) hand gun, Savage .22 Mag rifle, and a Vanguard 300 Weatherby Mag rifle. The Weatherby gets a bit expensive shooting, buying off the shelf ammunition, so I wanted to see if I can save some money and shoot more at the same time by reloading my own ammunition.

I hope to learn from more experience reloaders and shooters and appreciate any suggestions, help, and or criticism because it can only make me a better reloader/shooter. Thanks.
