New and looking for advice

dvfd12 · December 3, 2006, 05:31 PM

I am completely new to reloading and I have been looking through your forums. I am looking for some advice. Let me start by saying I have a limited budget. I'm planning on only reloading one caliber to start with.

I have about 1000 rounds of 40 s&w factory fired brass, and only plan on reloading around 500 rounds a month.

Now my question. I have been looking at the Lee anniversary kit. It appears to have just about everything I need to get started. Then after reading some of the posts hear I have found the reconditioned Lee Pro 1000 for $82. Which would you recomend for starting out? What does the anniversary kit come with that the pro 1000 does not that I need to get started?

Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

Secondly, I suggest you search the reloading section for previous postings that have asked the exact same questions where there are some great answers that should meet your needs.
