If you have any questions, ask any reloader for advice. Everyone is willing to help someone new to the field. As you are shopping start buying primers for both your pistols and rifles when you find them (for example small rifle primers for 5.56/.223 and large rifle primers for .308). Also pick up your expended brass at the range for future reloading. Brass cases accounts for almost two-thirds the cost of ammunition. No need to pick up steel cases. In today's environment no one should leave brass laying on the ground at the range. Finally, when available start buying bullets and powder specific to the caliber you plan to reload. It is best to have these items onhand when you need them.
