Getting started...

[<MADDOG>]

Foxtrot said it best...Start on the low end, and if you like it, you will quickly "move up". I started with the RCBS Partner Press, which I still use for my bolt action/accuracy rounds, and then I moved up to a couple different progressives for pistol calibers. I could add to his list, but he nailed it,
"3 billion accessories they make for reloading that you really shouldn't buy until you have tried, and enjoy it".
Start with the basics, and see if its for you. I have seen a couple of guys spend alot of money on reloading equipment, then go buy factory because they don't like the time spent.

Reviving this thread as I'm planning on getting into reloading. I'm planning on starting with handgun rounds, 45 ACP, 9mm para.

This is a great read with some sound advice.

I still have a couple questions...

My budget is slightly larger and was planning on a Dillon 650. I've read what the "basic" equipment needed per the thread and the recommended items.

I was wondering if there were any other recommend items that you would recommend after the basics and recommended items?

Items that would help ensure accuracy or reduce any risk areas...

TIA

Most just starting out start with the Dillon 550, and it's a better choice IMO unless you are planning on going through 30k+ rounds a year. The 550 is easier to change calibers with, easier to learn on, and less likely to set off the primer tube. Ya, it doesn't auto-index. Like I said, unless you are going through boo-koo ammo, that's not going to matter.
