First comes fascination ....... followed quickly by addiction.

Welcome to the Brotherhood of the reloader mate

Depending on your budget and your requirements Like Frog features said a good place to start is with a "Lee Loader".

$55 at the Petone gun shop or have a look at the Lee Challenger Press if your thinking of loading for more than one calibre.
Presses

Aside from this you will need a good powder scale, I'd recommend a balance scale like this


And a Good Reloading Manual from a reputable scorce Like Lee, Lyman, Speer, ADI etc.

Once you have the basic equipment then you will need to learn the Dark Art of Case Preparation.
Advise from experienced reloaders will set you on the right path here.

Then comes the hard part, ........... choosing the best powder, primer, projectile combination for "YOUR" Rifle.
Again this is where advise from experienced reloaders may help.

I say may help .......... because there's many, many ways to skin a cat when it comes to reloading.

Rolling your own ammo will add a fascinating aspect to your hunting or shooting career and give you immense satisfaction in achieving your goals with ammo you have developed and loaded yourself.

I've been reloading for rifle, shotgun and pistol since the late 70's and sometimes I think I'm just beginning.

Ask as many questions as you need to and good luck.

Cheers
Pete
