    haaaaaa ha ha ha ... are you SURE you want to join the rest of us, truly addicted to powder and pills !!! ???

    Welcome to the club !!!

    My advice would be to start with a very simple setup ... and work up from there. You can spend a lot of money on things you will ultimately end up not needing/wanting

    You will find heaps of good advice from the fellas on the forum who are VERY knowledgable and helpful.

    Like most things to do with hunting , firearms (and life) you will find that you'll get all the good advice , and then use that as a basis to find your own way of doing things.

    ok , specific advice :
    1) go for a single stage press
    2) record everything you do
    3) find a "mentor" that you can bounce ideas off of .. (mine's @ebf)
    4) Don't get too busy developing loads for too many different projectiles at once (I did and wasted money time and powder)
    5) READ HEAPS .. there is and amazing amount of good material out there (and some crap too) .. research is the CHEAPEST investment you can make in your reloading.
    Start with this : Optimal Charge Weight
    6) Tell your wives and children that you have a new addiction and wont be seeing much of them for the next few years

    good luck !!
