Short story (about reloading):
Walked in the door one Saturday afternoon, wife had "that look" on her face. She was dying to tell me something...hmmm...no...one of us is fixed..so it is not that...what could it be.
She finally confessed, that while garage saling...she found a complete reloading outfit on the cheap and bought it for ME! YEAH BABY!!
Pulls TWO LARGE boxes out...hmm...say outloud...looks like I will have to buy a shotgun now. She questions...."why?". Well, this is stotgun shell reloading stuff. Wife, "...you don't have one of those?"...nope.
At this moment, neighbor from across the street stops in....drools over the shotgun reloading press and tons of accessories...and states, "..you are going to have to buy a shotgun now." (totally unrehearsed).
After the chuckling, and my wife's great moment ruined, neighbor says, I will trade you all of my reloading stuff for yours. Done deal.
So, with that, I have two RCBS presses (502 & 503), and everything but a case tumbler.
What should I do now....build a reloading bench or set the stuff up on my workbench and try my hand at this.
...about me....I am a VERY technical type person and can do just about anything.

If you view it as part of the sport you will have fun and enjoy it very much. It is very satifying to spend a few hours working up a load and punching those 1/2" groups or less at the range know that your work paid off.
