    Lee Modern Reloading, Sierra, Lyman#?. Also the Sierra Infinity computer program is neat.

    I recently started reloading. There is tons of information onthe internet. I wouldn't spend any money on a how to book. I bought a Lee single stage press and it had pretty complete instructions in the kit. You do need to get a load book, I got the Hodgdon book, which also has a good instruction section. They also have a load thing on their website.
    Good luck, its lots of fun.

    I like Lee Modern reloading. The new Lyman handgun reloading manual I have has lots of good info, but not so much in terms of step by step.

    Pick up the book "The ABC's of Reloading" it will take your hand and lead you through all aspects of the reloading of metallic and shotshell cartridges. Then I would probably get the latest Lyman reloading manual. Once you start, you will find that you will probably end up getting several manuals to refer to during your reloading travels.

    Older manuals can be found at gun shows for several dollars. Although the load data will be dated the fundamental information on the process of reloading will still be good. If they're really cheap I'll keep a couple on hand to loan out to potential loaders.
    It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

    I got "The ABC's of Reloading" read through it. Then I watched a ton of videos online. And of course asked for assistance here on the forums. Look through the posts in this section. Lots of good info.

    Lot's of vids helped me understand what I was reading, that's for sure.

    The "ABC" book has great intel, but man is it a dry read. I do like both the Lee and Lyman books and I'm looking for a deal on the Speer manual now.

    Good luck!
