best reloading press for beginners
The problem w/ new reloaders and YouTube videos is they don’t know what’s good information and what’s bad. It’s a case of you don’t know what you don’t know. The same can be said for forums to an extent. I will point to annealing. It’s based in scientific fact around time and temperature. Yet you will see people constantly posting misinformation about it.
A new reloader should buy a reloading manual, or three, and read them multiple times. Each one will give you the basics and then some. I always suggest Lee’s. Richard is of course trying to sell his product but the basics are there in an easy to understand format. And since a lot of new reloaders use Lee equipment it’s a no brainer to get the manual. Bonus is it has a lot of load information in it. It’s not in a “recipe” fashion but it’s data non the less.
New reloaders should trust published manuals for the basics. And view forums and YouTube as opinions. There’s obviously good in both but it takes knowledge of the subject to know it when you see it.
