weekends...churning out literally thousands of rounds. It was a baptism by fire. I bought a basic RCBS press to start, and just kept expanding into different calibers, upgrading my equipment, until I'm where I am now.
In my opinion, the best entry level reloading press is the RCBS Rockchucker. You can get the kit that comes with a scale, a powder dispenser, and everything you need to start reloading...including a really good bench top reference book. If you need some sources for brass, powder, primers, and projectiles, I could hook you up.
