I bought a reloading press at an auction once… Studied manuals and drove a number of posters here to distraction. A month later, my husband took over and I haven't been able to get into the room since. Every so often I'm tempted to take it back as there is a certain satisfaction to making your own ammunition. Still… Sometimes you just have to choose which hill you want to fight for. I keep hoping someday he will learn to share.
Wow...you need to take back what is yours! Tell him if he wants to use it he is going to need to share or else you're going to move it to a safe place! LOL!
I like reading! I'm awaiting the delivery of the press from Midway and to see what info comes with it. I can see my journey has begun!If you are thinking of going between cast and jacketed bullets. May I suggest Lyman's 50th edition, or Lyman's Pistol & Revolver, 3rd edition as a good starting point of getting to know the ins and outs of reloading.

If you plan on getting into rifle cartridges, this may be more to your liking.
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012869149/ This only comes in paperback as far as I know.
It also delves into a bit of casting your own bullets, if that may interest you at some point.
. Still, he enjoys the activity and it gives him his quiet time so who am I to get in the way? .
Took the opportunity of Black Friday promotions to advance into the world of reloading. Picked THIS up from Midway USA and a Lee Die Set. Now looking for a beam scale and a few other accessories. I'll play with it some and will probably be back with many questions.
It's a fun hobby and very relaxing to me. I spend several hours every week up in my gun room.
Enjoy yourself, make sure you know what you are doing and be safe.
If in doubt ask questions. We are here to help.
Thanks for the offer...but...I already have picked up most of what I need to get started.There is a guy out here that sells used reloading equipment, I can PM you his contact information if you want to buy used stuff. I have bought a bunch of stuff from him.
