my 2cents as follows:

I had been wanting to get into reloading for years, always in the back of my mind whenever I went to buy ammo before going to the range. Well, I recently decided also to "bite the bullet" as it were. I was planning on picking up a couple reloading books, read up until I could afford a press (lee, rcbs, dillon, whatever, hadn't really decided). Well, the wife forced my hand a bit. She bought me a lee classic turret press kit and .38/357 dies. I still am gonna spend a significant amount of time reading before I ever put primer to case. Also, probably going to be using the turret as a single stage until I get the hang of it. so, 44magsam, just take it slow, read manuals (that's plural on purpose), and you'll be able to learn the process well, rather than get frustrated and give up.
