    It is possible to start on the cheap and see if you are going to continue reloading.
    I started with a Lee single caliber so lone ago I don’t remember. Lee makes a hand press that works well (IMO). I can make pretty good ammunition with this hand press. Sizing the brass is a little hard on the press and on you. I think you can get one of the hand press kits for about $70. I don’t like the scale as I am old and the littl bugger is hard to see.
    Maybe a RCBS Pardner on a bench would be a viable bench ice for you. Get brass and some projectiles from Wes.
    I do like the comment about a turret press and I use it in similar fashion as the post above states. To this day I use my hand press to deprive and seat bullets.
    Have fun and keep asking questions, we were all where you are now!!
    PM me if you like. There is a wealth of knowledge right here but books a good too instead of trying to figure it out on your own.

    Yes. Lots of knowledge here. I wish there had been groups like this when I had started. Of course the internet wasn't what we have now.
