New to reloading

I've been shooting on a limited basis for years and now getting into reloading. I have a turret press, die sets for both size ammo I will be loading, and a scale (all a gift). Were can I get a good book with illistrations, and a source of reference to begin the process. I'm mechanically inclinded but have even seen someone reload before. If there is a total beginning I'm starting there.

thanks for the help
Oh and I'll be loading ACP.45 and ruger .480 if that helps.

  How did you lube them?
  The groove your discribing on this thread sounds like a lube groove, and the "waxy substance" is lube. Depending on what color/hardness your seeing, it could be anything from a beeswax/alox mix up through a hard carnubia wax

  I used Lee liquid alox to lube them and I was told not to worry about the groove I just want to be safe and not hurt anyone or ruin any guns

  This groove around the bottom of cast bullets is for a gascheck. A gascheck is HIGHLY reccommended if you are loading full house loads.
