I to am also thinkiong of reloading and by chance I picked up a business card of a NRA certified reloading instructor, and after speaking to him a couple of times I decided to take the class.

I am very glad I did, the class was held at my local Gander Mountain where the instructor set up all the equipment and materials for the class.

The class lasted all day and I learned so much in one day about how to start reloading, I was fortunate that the he agreed to hold the class during the week because that resulted in only two of us attending the class.

He normally conducts the class on the weekend and the class is full

This resulted in us being able to have more hands on experince actually reloading.

You can go on the web to the NRA homepage and find a NRA certified reloading instructors in your area, the class cost $120.00 which is not cheap but I found it worth while.

If you take the class you begin to develop a sense for what type of reloading press you want to start with.

Good Luck
