Hi all, lots of information here, thought I'd ask a few questions.
First of all, I'd like to start reloading. Not sure if I'd like to cast my own bullets or not, but mabye yall can answer that.
I'm trying to convince the woman to let me get this reloading kit for my birthday.

It looks like it will have alot of the stuff I need to get started, but is this too much for a beginner like me?
The calibers I will be reloading are: .30-06, 7.62x39, Hopefully 9x18 makarov and 40 S&W, and either 6.5x52mm or 7.35x51mm Carcano
My questions are:
What is the purpose and functionality of the following?
Press
Dies
Calipers
Tumbler
Powder Measure
Scales
Cutter & Lock Studs
Case Length Gauge
I have an idea about each but I would like to get everything confirmed by the people on this board that know alot more than I do.
About Casting... is it worth the trouble, Or is it easier to just buy bullets? Can you make your reloading capabitities more versitle when casting?
Any other information about reloading would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
