Wanting to learn to reload but what do i need ?
I want to start reloading but if i said i had one clue what i was doing it would be a lie. All i know now is that
1. I need brass
2. I need gun powder I have no idea how much for each caliber
3. some type of primer I have no idea on that either
4. some type of press I only know that because i see them for sale
I am sure i am missing a ton of stuff anyone will to take that time to explain it I thank you in advance

Re: Wanting to learn to reload but what do i need ?
What are you reloading for? Accuracy? Cheaper volume shooting? What calibers do you plan to reload? I suggest you answer those questions and in the mean time get a book on the reloading process and do some reading before really committing to it.

Check out the sticky at the top of this section: http://forum.pafoa.org/ammunition-re...ead-first.html
Then take a gander here if you want: http://www.three-peaks.net/reload.htm
Manual is a must. Get a used one at a gun show for a couple bucks. Load data will be dated but basic reloading info is the same.It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

the first thing you need is a few reloading manuals.

Re: Wanting to learn to reload but what do i need ?
Google search as usual gave up tons of manuals. Should I just read as much as I can or is there one that is widely popular? Please save me some time.

Re: Wanting to learn to reload but what do i need ?
You have the desire, that's the main requirement.
All the info given is good and this forum is also a good place for knowledge. Do you have any friends that reload that will let you sit in on a session or two?
Just remember, you don't have to buy new. If you plan it out, you can start small and grow as your experience does.
