Who here knows about reloading? Is it hard to get into?

Not hard to start, nor expensive to kit yourself out at Reloading 101 level.

Was going to suggest Lee Precision “Lee Loader Rifle or Pistol” kit, less than $40, but they’re all out of stock in the pistol category and they suggest going to a dealer.

A simple single cartridge handloader includes everything but brass, primer, powder, and bullet. It’s kind of like learning to shoot a single loader rifle. Learn the basics and get comfortable with them before dealing with turret presses and all. Some just don’t take to it. With the Lee Loader you’re not out big bucks if reloading isn’t for you. But even that $40 isn’t wasted. Handy little kit to have for a bug out bag or to have at the range to hand load different powder or bullet weights.

Old fellow in W VA swears he only loads one .30-30 cartridge a year being as how he only takes one deer a season and that’s all he needs.

Any way, take a gander here to wet your toes:

If you take to it or want more control for precision shooting you can go whole hog but that Lee Loader will still get the job done.
