I wanna learn about reloading...

Depends on how much shooting you are going to be doing!

If you are going to shoot a lot, then reloading will be very cost effective, even over a short term! If you shoot just a little, say abox a month or two, then it will be a longer time for any cost benifit to show.

The good part is that you can buy bulk lots, and show a significent savings and shoot better quality ammo then the cheap stuff!

Where are you located, maybe someone can show you what they do locally!

Will save money

Its easy to determine cost. Just calculate the cost of powder brass primers and bullets. Look at a SIR catalog or similar for costs. Powder cost will be based on 7000 gr per pound. My cost for 9mm was about $5 per 50 rounds and costs improve once the brass is reused. As for equipment pick up a Lyman or RCBS set up. Lee is a good price but the other two will last a life time.

If you shoot a lot the cost of the equiptment will be paid for in no time. Especially if you shoot the less common rounds. Feel free to P.M. if you would like more info. By the way I use Lyman stuff and have never had a problem. Its lasted for 15 years so far

Lee 1000 is quite cheap and a nice starting progressive press. Come with the die set included.

Normaly you can expect 50-60% less than factory ammo. $$$

y'know, this question comes up a lot. The best way is to hang out with an experienced reloader for a while and have him show you the ropes. It's not really that complex, but until you see it done, it can seem confusing.

If I had a camera I'd make a video.
