Default reloading for beginers

I am looking into reloading, and wanted to know what you guys thought about a good setup for 9mm, 38/357, and .223/5.56? I have reloaded shot gun rounds, and liked how the carousel setups work. What would be a good starter setup I can get that will work well?

I started and still have my lee pro 1000. It's a great piece of equipment once you get use to it. Get some reloading handbooks.

XL 650: Dillon Reloading Machines
I said to hell with it and got this the way its pictured. Makes reloading fun and not too time consuming. The quick change feature it makes switching from 9mm to 45 easy.

If you have the cash this is the way to go.

Ive used a dillon 550 for years now. Love it.
We have a 650 and several 1050's at the shop.


I started out on a RCBS rockchucker supreme kit back about 2003. Didnt know a single thing bout reloading.
Best thing to do is buy a reloading manual and read it while your deciding on the press setup.

Dillon 550 would be the minimum id suggest. If you lived closer i could show ya first hand.

What are the best reloading books? I could use some reading material while I'm bored on early morning concrete pours.

I have the older version of this book, might actually get the new one since it goes over the s&w 500 mag. I'd hate to screw up on that one!
