If you've never loaded before, drop by my house. Then if you have a question you can ask right there instead of waiting for replies.
Once you see the process in person, the stuff you read online and books will make a lot more sense.

Thank you sir, well thanks too all that have given their two cents. All posts have been helpful.

I would say the best thing to buy "First" is a reloading book or two. Definitely one from a projectile manufacture like Hornady or Sierra, and maybe a Lyman book.
Read them twice till terms like "Ogive" or "OAL" and the benefits of a "Single stage", or a "Turret" or "Progressive" Presses start to have meaning, rather than other peoples suggestions.
This will also greatly help your learning curve when you get advice from other members and their words make a lot of sense.
There are great members here to give you hands on advise and being able to relate to their advise rather than a crash course will be a big plus for your reloading experience. :shaka:

BTW, I reload the same calibers as your needs on a Turret Press. If you are venturing on that direction, give me a shout, I can give you some tips. :thumbsup:

Thanks Fabtek, that sounds like a good plan...btw I shot the friggin gong pin out again. I'll text you later when I have time to meet up lol!!

Thank you to all for your advice, it is greatly appreciated!!!

General Discussion / Re: ISIS IN HAWAII

what's to stop someone from going beyond that list and reporting people for other things?  or what's to stop some dumbass from reporting people off of lies?

There is nothing to stop paranoid mofos from reporting others based on lies or something that was totally uncalled for. Cops been to my house because a neighbor said one of my friends parked to close to his driveway. With that said, we cannot control what other people do.  But I agree with oldfart that we shouldn't go crazy worrying about what's going to happen next. IMO  I think one of the things we can do is keep trying to make headway into being able to carry and protect ourselves in the hopefully unilikely event that we have to....

People don't believe that Hawaii doesn't need CC/OC laws just because we have one of the lowest if not the lowest gun related incidents in the country weather it be accidental/crime. But I was made to believe that the like minded people in this forum was (to use the term lightly) "fighting" to change laws like that.

Welcome to the forum. Go to tbe introduce yourself thread and tell us about yourself.
...
To start, tell us
1. What caliber would you use most?
2. What firearm would that be?
3. How many rounds would you like to shoot every month?
4. How much money can you drop just to get started?
5. How much free time do you have to reload per week?
6. Do you have a space with a bench to set up a loader?
7. Do you have a good buddy that already reloads?

There are many knowledgeable people here and I do have a standing invitation to newbie reloaders to drop by the house to chat.
Answering those few questions will help keep the replies on target.

1. Let's just say I use .45 the least
2. Glock 9mm, AR-15, Para USA 1911
3. Never really took count
4. After researching probably wouldn't mind 700-1000 to get started
5. LOL what is FREE time?
6. I do have a bench set up already
7. I have a friend that does but he lives in Vegas

Hello everyone, I see that there are a lot of helpful people that frequent this site!! I would like to ask help from you all in getting started with reloading. I've been keeping my brass for a while now and would like to get started reloading and wanted to know where do I start. I am looking to reload 9mm, .45, 556 and 223. I would like to know what are good value equiptment I should get. It doesn't have to be high volume auto reloading (which I understand can get pricey) but i don't want cheap stuff. What should I buy first? Should I attempt to do rifle reloads (as I been reading you have to be pretty accurate with this)? It's just for shooting paper, nothing competition grade. I'm just looking for a starting point. Mahalo guys!!
