    I did it...

    I puchased a Hornady LNL AP, on eBay today. I'm pretty sure I scored. It should be here by the end of the week!

    I'm going to get some hands on training from a friend who's been reloading for a while, what other resources should I look to?

    The press comes with everything I need to start with .45 and .380 (I'll add 9mm and .223 soon),Hornady reloading book, lots of extras.

    Where should I start?

    Buy some more books and start looking for a sturdy bench. You'll be addicted soon. I haven't loaded in almost four months and it's killing me. We recently moved to ID and I decided to insulate and finish the garage before building myself a badass reloading bench.

      Start with a reloading manual. Hornady publishes a good one.

        Thanks! The press comes with the Hornady Manual. I've loaded some on my friends lock n load, but now that it's my garage, I'd really like to get as much information and practice as I can. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to load a thousand rounds of everything on day 1!

          I've got a pretty sturdy bench that's been waiting to be put to work!

              You're going to love it. Takes some tweeking, but when you figure it out . . . wow. It makes some great ammo.

                Check into u-tube videos from Hornady .. I'm sure there are others,, take them with a grain of salt ... Be safe and good luck.. Cheers..

                  Please for the LOVE of GOD and Puppies and Kittens pick up a reloading manual and READ it FIRST.

                  Even if there is only 1 single shell running in a progressive at a time, it is still very easy to become distracted if you have not reloaded before. Even though there is only ONE thing running, there are still several different operations going on. On a Single stage or a turret, there is only ONE operation going on... That is why those are easier to learn on.
