[QUOTE="okierider, post: 3010063, member: 41708"] I started reloading in December and went cheap so as not to spend a lot on something I hate. Needless to say I enjoy loading so I am spending a little here and there to add to what I originally bought. I started with lee breach lock single stage, lee beam scale and lee carbide dies I bought the 4 die set which I feel may not be needed after learning more about the 3 die sets, but I will pay the extra $12 to always get the 4 die set.... I bought a Lyman 49th edition loading manual and have 2 more on PDF on my desktop. The lee loader has the capability of getting extra die bushings so you can set your dies, once you figure out your load, permanently in the bushing and then it is just switch out with a quick twist to get the next die in.(always double check your measurements to make sure nothing moved)I also bought the lee primer die that works well. I read everything I could before starting and asked a bunch of questions here and on a couple of other gun/reloading sites. Lots of varying info out there especially in the powder charge area so be careful in that info some folks will give you. Understand that every gun is different and what works for them may trash your pistol lol. Lee is cheap but it works and if you decide you hate loading you have very little money out of pocket. Oh yes dont cheap out on your caliper and make sure you get one that reads to the .000 as I have a pretty little caliper hanging on my wall that only goes to .00. The OAL( over all length) in my Lyman manual calls for 1.275 and so I was all excited once I got everything set up and went to set my OAL the first time and had a little issue lol [/QUOTE]
