Thread: Keen to start reloading.

As someone who is well into the rabbit hole, I strongly second the advice of Grandpamac and 7mm Rem Mag above. I learnt from a mentor before I started doing it myself. It cost me a bottle of Glenfiddich but if I had to put a number to the dollar value of the teaching I would estimate somewhere north of 1k.
Ask here and someone local to you will probably put up their hand to offer some help, if you take up such an offer, you will do well to reciprocate with a solid gesture of appreciation. Knowing what gear to buy is far easier once you have actually used some of the tools and you have an overall understanding of the process.

If you want to set up your own bench, ultimately best value for money will probably be buying a kit off someone who went down the rabbit hole before you and then very soon after had life changes that precludes time to do reloading, like relationship or kids or both.
It has been known to happen, so again ask in Buy Sell Swap and someone might put their hand up.

If you want to do reloading on the cheap without it taking up too much space, one way would be to just have a good set of scales, a hand press and seater die and vernier calipers. Find a tame reloader who is local to you and do the major brass prep in bulk at their bench every so often so you have a good supply of clean resized and correct length brass.
Seat primers, load powder and seat projectiles at your own home as and when you want to. This method may seem like it involves a larger investment in brass than what has previously been supposed, but if you set up your own bench, acquisition or investment in a significant amount of brass will be an inevitable outcome anyway.

Last but not least. Balance beam before digital. I run a balance beam and I also have a digital scale on my powder dispenser. Unless I am using the auto dispenser, I prefer the balance beam. Digital may seem less fool proof in the first instance, but overall the balance beam is more stable and as such, more repeatable.
