Mike,
I think you have the right idea on reloading. I started out some 60+ yrs. ago with an RCBS A2 press, a Lyman powder measure & a powder scale. Learned reloading from the many loading books & various articles in magazines. I find reloading to be more of a therapy than a race to see how many rounds I can load. I guess if I was involved in competition shooting I would have sprung for one of the Dillon beasts.
By the way, I'm envious of your location as you are a very good range facility on the West side of Harris County off State 6.
Stay safe & enjoy a wonderful hobby.
Jim
