+1 on the not saving a ton of money becouse you end up shooting more.. And with prices what they are today its kinda hard to justify loading calibers like 9mm. Now when the price goes back up , and it will , you will be saving money and getting premium ammo once your loading skills get better.. Reloading like any hobbie is constantly growing , learning and upgradeing equipment or components...

Most people think that reloaders are better shots becouse they reload and that's true becouse they shoot more.. Quality ammo helps but is no substitute for trigger time.. In rifle it's hard to beat federal gold medal match ammo but an experienced reloader can and save money doing it.. If your loading non NATO calibers you can really save some money..

As others have said buy the best stuff you can the first time even if you have to save up for awhile to get it.. In the precision reloading world you get what you pay for.. While your waiting read everything to can , this will continue forever. The way your reloads get better is for you to be a better reloader.. By doing this you will save money by not buying stuff or components that doesn't work or work well together... And go slow and be safe.. If there is any doubt...DON'T do it till you find out for sure.. I had no one , but if you can get an experienced reloader to help you it will help shorten the learning curve...
