I'm new also, I started with the RCBS Rockchucker supreme master kit. Iv'e got four books, the Frankford tumbler and Lee four die sets for 357, 40 s&w and 44 mag for about $650. Most are from midway just get in line for the backorder. While you are waiting for these get the ABC's of reloading, the folks here recomended this and it is a good place to start. Order some primers soon, Cabelas estimates of shipping dates are accurate. Don't buy components before you have load info, I've got bullets I don't know what to do with. I don't know anyone who reloads so I'm teaching myself. I started researching reloading in October of last year and so far I've shot less than 200 rounds, take your time and be careful. It is so worth it. Read every post on this site this is where I learned and thanks to all who share what you know.... Rick
