Thanks. It is a little intimidating just going through everything to figure it all out. I am going to build a bench to set it all up then take my time to get started.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Well, the good news is you have access to all kinds of info that I didn't have 35 years ago when I got started.

Taking your time is the correct way to go. Ask questions.

After a while you may want to start casting your own bullets. That opens an additional level to the hobby. Honestly I enjoy reloading/casting as much as shooting. Go figure.

I really enjoy reloading and all the experimenting that goes into precision rifle reloading.

a fraction of a grain or the depth of bullet seating can make a large difference in accuracy. It's an really neat and fun process.

ETA:

2 things I'd recommend if you plan on loading for rifles:

Take copious amounts of notes and keep them.
Buy a really good micrometer.

You should take notes on pistol bullets as well, but rifle notes are essential.
