Dillon Precision

If you purchase a Dillon 550B or XL650 machine, you can get a video that will show you how the machine works and how to do caliber conversions, proper loading techniques, etc.



Here is their website: www.dillonprecision.com

a pretty good primer on reloading (primer meaning beginning reading, not cartridge component)

Not really. I just read the manuals and did it on my own.

+1 on that. Buy as many manuals as you can find and/ or afford. The Sierra "binder" is absolutely a MUST. Nosler, Barnes, Lee,Lapua (learn from a European point of view!), Speer, + all the free "booklet"-type manuals from the powder companies (Alliant, Accurate, Hodgdon, IMR,etc) are all available if you call the companies. I have all of the above++, a veritable feast of a reloading "LIBRARY", and I've been doing it for only about 2-3 yrs. w/ nothing but successful results. Never saw anyone do it in person.

Learned how to reload from reading books and watching videos.

Reloading Store at the Angeles Range offers classes - i wish I knew it when I've started, but I went the way of trial and marginal error by reading manuals and watching videos... It's not that manuals are incomplete, it's just harder to understand when enough is enough or when you are just creating extra work...

Speer Manual is comprehensive and good for the beginners, especially if you get RCBS products. Lee's Manual goes into more detail explaining tools and the desired effect.
