Reloading package, manual, calipers($15 or so) and there you go for basic.
Advanced reloading wil take some and several paragraphs.

I started reloading twenty plus years ago after buying a Remington rifle in 300 Weatherby (1989), I worked with a guy (Mark) who reloading his 300 Win Mag he showed me enough stuff picked up a manual and a single stage press from Lee and I read that book cover to cover then I started reading Shooting Times magazine (Rick Jamieson), he put out good clear articles on reloading, I followed everything he talked about. I have never had a problem with anything I put together. The single stage press will get anyone started into reloading and as Reloaders, we always upgrade to something better multiple does setups. Reloading is a hobby especially since that new wonder round called 6.5 Creedmoor. I got three guns chambered in 6.5 calibers just far too many 30 caliber rifles.Where would be a great place to start as far as info on whats necessary compared to what makes things nice! thanks guys Jimmy
When buying calipers, spend the money pick up around thirty dollars or more, I got one under thirty dollars it lasted two weeks, went back to the store got one for about thirty-five dollars, no problem with it.Reloading package, manual, calipers($15 or so) and there you go for basic.

Not sure if snyone touched on this but The hornady reloading guide is very detailed, and written and explained in a very plain text that willget you rolling. Also the rcbs supreme kit comes with a nosler book which also has what you need to know.Where would be a great place to start as far as info on whats necessary compared to what makes things nice! thanks guys Jimmy
One of the manuals you should get is this Berger, even if you don't use Berger bullets, a lot of knowledge in it!For starters, pick one or two reloading manuals and read them, to understand the basics of what your wanting to do. Use the KISS principle when starting out. Don't go all out on equipment you don't need yet or understand. Lot's of advice here, but it all leads in the same direction of success!
I stopped buying the big manual from the bullet company's. I started buying the One Book/One Caliber, the complete reloading manuals. I have ten manuals, not much change with them unless a new cartridges come on board but even then I will buy the one complete reloading manual. They have all the major bullet manufacturers loads and their bullets. The cost is less around $10.One of the manuals you should get is this Berger, even if you don't use Berger bullets, a lot of knowledge in it!

I have read many of your responses and they are right. Start out with research and YouTube is great. You may want to look at the major companies that are involved in reloading as: Dillon precision, RCBS, Hornady, etc. I luckily started out with a Dillon 550B and have used it for lots of different loads, but for rifle many like the old rock chucker by RCBS. you need to look at what you intend to do as rifle and pistol. You can get a picture of what you want to do and then a key for me. As in most things you PAY for what you get out of what you buy. Quality IS the key to reloading and the most quality for your buck is important of the reloader you buy and the product that you have when finished. quality breads quality!!! but remember, DO your homework be for spending $$$$'s. you want the best produce you can make and the books, videos, etc are the heart of making a good decision.Kaveman44 said:Where would be a great place to start as far as info on whats necessary compared to what makes things nice! thanks guys Jimmy
