ToTal beginner to reloading here.

I bought a Lee single stage press and supposedly all the stuff I'd need to reload .303 british about three years ago. It's all still in the box. I really need to do something with it. I also have 300 pre primed .303 cases to start with to get me into the actual loading before I get into the cleaning and depriming aspect of things. Realistically how hard is this to do? Can anyone recommend a book which is a good one to read - not too complicated - nice and basic. all i want to do is figure out a couple of loads to make my shootinmg a wee bitty more accurate and to make my pocketbook hurt a wee bit less by buying components in bulk.

Any of the reloading manuals will have step by step directions in them for setting your dies and starting reloading. I would recommend buying one and reading it a couple of times before you start.

I use the Hornady, Lee and Lyman books but the "ABC's of Reloading" is a very good one to start with.

Another thing is you post your location there may be someone local to you on here who could halp you out.

+ 1.
You can also try the Lyman reloading handbook, lots of good info.

I have the Lyman and Hornady manuals. IMO, the Lyman is far superior for beginners - the intro to reloading is much easier to understand, and it's got a lot more diverse data. The hornady manual is nice if you buy Hornady bullets, but doesn't provide any data for any other bullets.

Powder and Bullet manufacturer websites are also a good source of information.

This is good, brief (23 pages) read for beginners, or even a good refresher for someone that hasn't reloaded in a long time:

My fav's in order of learning about reloading in general...

ABC's of reloading
Speer
Hornady
Lyman

For specific reloading data layout and info I like the Hornady setup the best.
