I was in your shoes a couple months ago. I’d hook up with a buddy who really knows what they’re doin. And/or start researching a bunch online.

Panhandle Precision is what I’m mostly basing my process off of: http://panhandleprecision.com/reloading-process-step-step/

I bought individual tools off of amazon during Black Friday deals. Mostly RCBS stuff.

That’s about as far as I can help! I just got my first brass out of the tumbler all nice and shiny. All learning from here.... good luck!

When I started a few years ago I got the Lee turret kit. Its everything you will need, except the scale sucks, so look into something else there. The Lee kit is a good price and has been every bit as accurate as any single stage press. The turret makes it much more convenient than a single stage too.

You'll find after you get the press and basic stuff, you'll end up spending twice as much on all the other crap. Measuring tools, trimming tools, fancier scales and trickelers....

I bought the Hornady Lock-N-Load kit. Then added more to be able to really get going. I put close to $1000 into it at first. Dies, powders etc.

Don't do it... it's not going to save you money. In fact, you'll spend a lot more money. And time, lots of time trying to find that perfect load. Then more time trying to find other perfect loads. And more money...

But it's fun

Rcbs rock chucked will have everything you need to get started.  Hornady lock n load will get you started just fine too. Find one of them on sale and go from there

Kits are ok but not really necessary. Buy a cheap press spend you money on a scale and some mosc items and your good to go. I’ve reloaded about 100’s of rounds with my clearance bid rcbs partner press.

Thank you all !!!

I have a little different view....get the best you can upfront. I like my forester single stage and my dillon 550. Both will cover all my needs.

@pashok23  I would go with h20hunter he will not steer you wrong. Start simple the advance but most of all have fun. FYI I loaded 100 rounds of 9mm today just for fun.

[h20hunter]

Heck.....you buy the dies and we can start soon as you are ready! Load em up, run out to the range at machias, touch a few off. Got any brass? i have cci mag primers and a few lbs of RL26.  Got a bullet in mind?

My vote is buy a decent single stage press, and then the accessories you want.  I bought the RCBS kit and never used the scale, or hand primer, and powder thrower.  I can sell you mine since they are still new lol.

This is great advice,[Plus on the right dies.Buy RCBS or Hornady dies do not buy LEE JUNK. Make sure you buy the right shell holder also for your .300 win. mag. for the same brand die.
