dont do it, it'll wreck your life
Welcome to the brotherhood of the reloader @JaydenMcN
And remember ............
First comes Fascination ............ followed quickly by Addiction.
Buy the gear you can afford and don't let others tell you Lee gear is Shit because it isn't.
My suggestion is buy a good quality Balance Scale ( this is the only piece of Lee gear that isn't the best) Like a Lyman 505 or a Hornady Pacific balance scale and get a good reloading manual.
Good quality second hand gear is out there at reasonable prices if your willing to do some leg work.
Start your load development towards the minimum suggested load and carefully work your way up until you reach the point where your satisfied with the results.
Ask Lots of Questions.

Go talk to Glen at Broncos, he was going to run basic courses
Boom, cough,cough,cough
Buy a good press and scales NOT LEE.
lee dies are ok but not much alse
Brilliant cheers
when I started I bought lee gear ive been reloading for quite a while and I'm still using the lee gear I started out with it can load ammunition that's just as accurate as my friends with heaps more expensive gear just get the best you can afford
If your anywhere near Rotorua gun supplies are very helpful I have just started and the advice they have given me has been very helpful
Nothing wrong with Lee press and dies. Affordable and works as well as the other presses out there. Sure a Dillion will be faster but also more $$$$
Go with what you can afford and read a few different manuals and how to books before you start. It is an interesting hobby on its own.
Have fun and remember it is addictive.
Lead delivery technician, Bulk orders welcome!!
Its a great hobby and I actually find it kind of therapeutic, if I have had a hard day its quite relaxing heading out to the garage and loading some ammunition.
Just remember to pull all the price stickers off your boxes of projectiles, powders etc before you significant other gets a chance to sneak into the garage, add them all up, and inform you of the astronomical amount of dollars you have "wasted" haha
Been out and brought all my things, with advice of course. No need to watch some videos and find out where to begin... Cheers
