Overview of the Reloading Process - From Spent Case to Loaded Round
I made a couple of hundred cases ready to load,& put em' away somewhere's safe, they were so shiny I couldn't see em for the bright lights!, found em' today while rooting around in the depths of the gunroom.
Brilliant write up, couldn't have been done at a better time. Just put some thought into starting reloading over the weekend.
This may have been covered before, if so bear with me, what equipment is needed to start reloading??
Looking at adverts there are kits at £ 199 and kits at £ 399, as a beginner where do I start?

Thanks for that could not have come at a better time. I have been trawling over youtube for the past 3 days and just learnt more in 10 min.

Lee classic loaders are great fun, especially when you set off primers in your living room 
I have to admit, unless the primer pocket has been cleaned out very well, you need to give the primers a very good whacking to seat flush, which now and again offers you a nice alternative to a shot of espresso!

Mortified that the drum in my powder measure must have been damp when bagged up so that's off to be recycled.
Interested to know what powder measures folks are using and what they recommend.
My case cleaner has been used over the years and occasionally at work for small components so not surprisingly the cleaning medium was a bit tired, being a cheapskate I put in a good scoop of Bar Keepers friend to pep it up a bit, don't do it! cases look like they have been sand blasted.
