    Moving forward one of the continuing issues will be getting components - brass, primers, projectiles of your choice, preferred powder, some dies and so on.
    If my powder supplier is to be believed, and I am seeing similar stories coming out of the states, primers are going to be the next issue.
    The recent ADI powder delivery saw types like 2208 sold instantly with no restock to October at the earliest.

    All above may or may not affect a new hand loader who may not require larger quantities to get going.
    If seriously looking to take up the "hobby" consider getting the components sooner rather than (too) later. Tempered of course by grandpamac's advise about not winding up with a lot of stuff you don't need.

    And a pet of mine - buy a decent mechanical balance scale to start out. Just because a cheap digital scale has a digital readout doesn't make it accurate or repeatable. Look out for good second beam balances, Ohaus etc. Again the value of a mentor who can guide you thru all this.
