Hello all.
For the longest time I've wanted to start reloading handgun ammo but always had space issues. Up until getting married, I've always shared a house with friends and now live in a one bedroom apartment with my wife. Well, we can finally afford to buy a house and should be moved out by years end. That means I'll finally have room for a reloading bench.
I've saved up about 500 .357's, over 1000 .38 specials and I've even begun to consider slowing buying all parts and pieces over the next 7 months. However, as it becomes more of a reality, I'm stating to get a bit nervous. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the most handy guy in the room and reloading seems a bit intimidating to me.
So my question is, how did you learn to reload? Did someone teach you? Did you read a book? I learn a lot better from hands on instruction but don't know anyone local who reloads and have never heard of a reloading class. So, any suggestions on the best way to learn the basics?

Thanks.
