Sometimes you can find someone getting out of the sport / hobby and
get started pretty reasonable. You can always fill in with other used / new
pieces that you might not get in the original purchase.
Hopefully will save you some $$$.

If you have a local gun shop or local gun club, stop in and ask questions. Most shooters/reloaders will be glad to give you a little information on the subject. Another way is what you have already done, start reading different forums and asking questions. What is good for you, that's hard to say, I started with a Lee Turret press and loaded thousands of rounds for several years, until I picked up a Dillon progressive 550B press. The only complaint I had on the Lee was for every round produced it took something like 4 pulls of the handle, where as the Dillon or any other progressive press, once you get the first round out it only takes one pull of the handle for each round. A lot less pulls needed to produce the same amount. Good luck in your quest.

RUGERSHOOTER46: WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

First order of business is to read
Sticky: For the New Reloader: Equipment Basics -- READ THIS FIRST
down from the top of the reloading page. You never have enough reloading books.

It would help us considerably to give good information if we knew more of your shooting habbits.

How many cartridges, of the two you mention, do you shoot in a week or a month or per year???

Do you have a budget??
