Danny,

I'll start by giving you my version of "myths in reloading" so you can decide if you're sure you want to start:

1) You'll save money by reloading. This isn't going to happen unless you're a meticulous hard to the core thrifty spender. You'll buy more equipment, powder, brass, primers, more equipment, more powder, etc. than most small militia will need. Why? Because you can.

2) It is relaxing to reload. Relaxing is with closed eyes, reclining in a comfortable chair, sipping on a drink, and listening to smoothing music. Reloading require strict attention to steps (who hasn't seated a bullet without putting in the powder late at night?), sitting straight up (or standing) for 1 hr+, and focusing on the smallest of details for measurements (scale, length).

3) You'll find a perfect load for your weapon. Yes, it is possible, but your road to happiness requires plenty of investment in #1 and #2. And once you do find that combo of perfect powder, brass, primer and COL, you'll want to try a different type of brass, powder, primer and change in COL and you're back to square #1.

It's a vicious cycle but one that all shooters should attempt (or maybe not). Welcome to the world of reloading, have fun and good luck.
