[QUOTE="rickm, post: 3010045, member: 24476"] Well i will throw my 2 cents out there; when i started i had a guy on a gun forum that i had become friends with and we would sit around in the early morning and chat in a chat room, since apparently we were the only 2 that was up at such early hours of the mornings, and we got to talking about reloading and such, he was from a family of long time reloaders, so one day i said i would like to get started reloading if i just knew what and where to get started with so about a week later i had a package in the mail he had ordered the Lee single stage starter kit and had it sent to my door and he more or less talked me thru the steps of reloading in a chat room. I still have most of that kit that i use on a regulor basis but have added a few things here and there to make it smoother. plus have added 26 more sets of dies along with 15 different molds to cast with and much much more things to go along with all of it. You dont save money by reloading cause you are always buying more stuff but it is relaxing and a nice hobby to get into. So from my stand point i would say yes a starter kit does have nearly everything that you need to get started with, but you will need a few items that dont come with a kit. The very first thing i tell new reloaders is to find the Lee Modern reloading book and read it, it goes into detail of all the steps of reloading and also has most of the loading data in it to load with. I know i left something out so may add more later. [/QUOTE]
