Satanta,

I use a MEC 600 Jr reloader. Its a single stage reloader, I can crank out about 100-150 rounds an hour. Its a fairly inexpensive way to start. In addition to the reloader you will need:

Powder bushings (these measure the powder
charge)

A shell rack (this makes it easier to
box the finished rounds)

A sturdy workbench to mount your loader
on

A scale to check the powder charge
(some powders are more dense than
others, this will affect the weight
of the charge you are throwing)


After that pick out a recipe you want to reload, buy the appropriate powder, shot, hulls, and wads, and you are ready to go. The instructions provided with the MEC 600 Jr are enough to get you started. Check around on prices, some shooters supply companies offer components at half the cost of the local gun store. Make sure you FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER!! If you start to mix and match components that are not supposed to be used together you can blow up your gun and injure, kill, or maim, yourself and/or those around you. Have fun.
