reloading?

trc313
How much money will a reloader cost? I want to reload .375 H&H to start. I know what the reloader will cost--Dillon 550B at $302 but after I buy all the accessories,what will be the actual cost to load the first shell. What do I need to buy besides the actual 550B? Will it be a zillion dollars[:D]

BTW---I have no clue as what is needed other than the dies and the reloader itself.

    Looking to get into reloading pistol rounds. I have reloaded shotgun shells before at my uncles when I was younger.What is the same and what is different?Exactly what all would I need to buy to get started? Thinking of starting out with .40 S&W at first. That is what I shoot the most of.

    Seriously.......Start out by buying a good reloading manual and reading up on it and then go down to the gun shop and ask questions. You will learn a lot that way. Reloading is very easy. Been doing it for 40+ years. Just start off the right way with the right equipment and knowledge.........[:)][:)]

    Above is EXCELLENT advice. I could only add FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. If you change any component (bullet, primer, powder, casing) you have changed the load. Seek solitude while loading- folks that want to talk to you WILL result in errors in your loads.

    .....and errors in your load can turn into missing body parts...

    +100, as a newbie myself in the art/science of reloading, you CANNOT have or read enough literature.

    As far as the metallics go, a single stage press is the way to go until you learn the basics. I use a Lee Challenger press that came in the Anniversary kit. I reload for my 40, and have also done 357, and 44mag. It's a great starter kit and I recommend it. A turret press is also an idea if you aren't on a super tight budget.
