    .38/.357/9mm reloading newbie

    I have a Lyman reloading manual and 9mm .38 and .357 brass. I need EVERYTHING else but have no idea where to start. And by everything I mean't I have nothing. Can someone please link me or list every necessary item I need to buy to reload these 3 rounds?

    1. Press (I use Lee's Press) I use a progressive lee for 9mm. Been working fine.
    2. Die for press (I use Lee's) Need one for each caliber.
    3. Handgun Powder,Small(9) or large primers, and Bullets.

        Start by taking a reloading class.

            Start out with a cheap Lee single stage kit, and learn the basics before you move up to the Auto Indexing machines. Start SLOW.

              I would start with a lee loader hand . I used to carry one for my 270 and 45 in truck when hunting .
              You will still need powder , primers , bullets . You should have cases .
              Try to find a reloading case . Go to utube and watch the reloading videos .
              I use a lee 5 station - but try to buy locally - if they sell it , they can answer questions . Don't ask a chevy dealer about your ford .

                    Also, it doesn't hurt to read your Lyman reloading manual which will answer a lot of questions too. Furthermore, Youtube reloading videos will let you understand the process and different tools available. Before you know it, you'll be hooked.

                          Try Angeles Shooting Range. They have a reloading store that has all the supplies, equipment, tools, and they also have classes on reloading.
