What about equipment and supplies. What should i get for the best value

The LEE Aniversary kit will have everything you need, minus the dies,powder,primers and bullets and brass.....I used it for a year and then slowly ugraded to RCBS...was just my personal preferance

If you only want to buy it once,then go with an RCBS kit in my opinion..SIR or Wholsale Sports carry the line....

Try to borrow (or buy) a good reloading manual before you decide on what sort of reloading equipment to buy. Any good reloading manual will have step by step instructions. Reloading isn't complicated, and once you start to roll your own, you'll probably become hooked.

Try Higginson Powder - they deal in Lee equipment as well as reloading supplies and are pretty reasonable. I like lee presses, priming tools and moulds, but don't care for their dies and powder scale.

I just started not long ago. I bought a few diffent manuals (well worth the $$) I now feel much more confident, and many of my questions were answered early on, and in great detail.
