Any advice for an aspiring handloader?

Try poking around on this site: http://www.reload-nrma.com/

The 'NRA Guide to Reloading' is excellent. It is a "how to," not a load data manual. Only about ten bucks. Here's the deal - figure out what you're gonna be loading long before you get out the credit card. That way you'll only be getting the equipment you need to start SAFELY. Get a mentor, if possible.

Best advice is read a lot, ask a lot of questions and document EVERYTHING! You cannot learn if you do not know what you did.

I advise not rushing into anything. find someone who will teach you using equipment they own, then decide what equipment you want to buy.

When you've read the basics, and are proceeding safely, then it's time to take it to the next level, and for that you need Pet Loads by Ken Waters. It's sold by the folks who publish Rifle and Handloader magazines, where Waters wrote for many years. It is a gold mine of information on every caliber under the sun.
