Greetings, all!
A week ago I had not even considered reloading. With encouragement from my wife (who knows the cost of loaded ammo), I started reading everything I could about it, and came across this informative site.
Ignoring recommendations to "start" with a Dillon 550, (I only plan on buying one press... ever) I found a bargain XL 650 on Craigslist three days ago with quick change heads for 9mm and .45 - perfect!
Yesterday, I went to the local steel yard for material, and welded up a nice bench. Of course, I painted it Dillon blue, haha!
I want to mention that I have found this site to be a wealth of information on reloading. I hope that in time, I too will be able to contribute.
Cheers!
