Not quite simple. but try this site........A lot of information: http://stevespages.com/page8.htm

I also recommend Lee's reloading manual. A lot of people don't like their equipment, but they cannot deny the book is a very good learning platform.

You probably should buy at least one of the various reloading manuals. Basically every bullet company makes them. Not only do they have the specs on each caliber for common bullet types, they all have deatailed info a new reloader would want. I have Speer, Nosler and Hornaday. Try to look at them first for the calibers you are interested in to be sure the data you want is included. I bought one once that didn't even have a caliber in it I wanted. Admittedly a less popular caliber but the other 2 listed it. Good luck and be careful.

You can also go to the web site for the powder you are going to use. Most all have reloading data.
