Thread: Wanting to learn to reload but don't want to spend around 1500 to get into it

Greetings @Djmsheild75,
I am witk Micky in suggesting you try and find a mentor. There is no point in having a lot of kit if you are not up to speed on how to use it. Your local NZDA is a good place to start looking for one. This will allow you to get the kit you actually need rather when you are ready to go solo. I started handloading around 50 years ago without a mentor. Progress was slow until I discovered Handloader Magazine in early 1980 and have subscribed ever since. It was my mentor. As mentioned above you do not need every wizzo peice of kit when you start loading and may never need some of it depending what style of handloader you become. A mentor of senior years is unlikely to turn breathless with excitement with everything that is new some of which is designed to boost sales rather than deliver actual improvement. Enjoy your handloading. It is a great pastime.
Regards Grandpamac.
