Reloading

I want to start reloading but I have zero knowledge or experience.
I know there are kits available but what are some recommended brands? Should I buy everything piece meal?
I would mainly be reloading .223, 45 and 9mm.

Man, it's been years, I think mine is a Rockchucker. It's in storage. It was great. 9mm and .45 cals. are easyeasy. The .223 takes a little practice.
Rcbs was the caps I used and most any fast burning powder if I remember correctly.
Buy a reloading handbook, it will have data and other needed info.
A tumbler came in handy for me, but I was reloading a lot.
Good luck.
Oh, go with only carbide dies
Googled it, they have one for $415, but it does a lot. Mine was plain and I added what I needed on the side.

Good question. People have told me it's a wash reloading 9mm but I've never done it.

I've been loading for quite a few years now and i started with the rcbs kit. It has everything you need to get going, you'll want to upgrade a few items after you get the hang of it though! Get the Sierra manual it has the most in depth information and detail. Watch your headspace and start out on the weak side and you'll enjoy it!
never loaded pistol ammo just rifle!
