I don't think anybody has said that....I imagine nobody's willing to show someone the ropes during these COVID times..?

Would you like some help?
That is a 'loaded' question(pun intended). There are no stupid questions.Sorry for the stupid question. What will I need to start reloading the 223, 9MM, and 45 ACP? I mean what do I need to buy. Do you think it would be better to have the equipment ready before learning?
I'd be willing to advise and set up a day for you to do some press time, if you'd like.I'm thinking through the process of buying all the crap and getting started, just curious if I pull the trigger on getting a press if there'd be guys willing to do some teaching in exchange for cheap beer something similar!

You see the reloading kits fro sale everywhere. Well, that's about a quarter to a third of the outlay required, just to get started. It is a bit of a rabbit hole once you start down that path.
For each caliber you want to reload, you will need dies-$40-$80 per set. A case gauge for each-$25-$65. Powder, primers, brass, and bullets.
Depending on the setup you buy, there will be plenty of extra tools you'll need, granted, many of those are a onetime purchase.
Case prep tools also figure in as a large part of the investment, whether or not, you attempt to do mass quantities of a certain caliber. Look at it as a hobby. All hobbies require constant upgrading and additional tools.
We all started at the same place...the beginning.
I'd be willing to teach on my equipment, because it is already calibrated and ready to go. I also have components on have for teaching.I'm thinking through the process of buying all the crap and getting started, just curious if I pull the trigger on getting a press if there'd be guys willing to do some teaching in exchange for cheap beer something similar!

Let me know.Appreciated. Let me think things through and figure how much $$$ this would set me back. And figure out how to approach the wife about it!
Which one is it? The 550 or the 650?So I asked for some help setting up to load 223/556 on my Dillon 650 or 550 a while ago. I will finally have everything in place in the next week or so. I live in Anne Arundel (Glen Burnie). I have been loading pistol rounds for about 8 years but just never got into rifle.
Looking for someone to make sure my stupid gene doesn't come out.
Also, just ordered a Mr. Bulletfeeder if anyone has ever set one of these up that would be a bonus as well.
My schedule is pretty open weekdays, nights, weekends. Shift work has it's privileges.
Thanks

I can help with the 550, but I have zero experience with the 650.Daemon
Misread your question. I have a 650 and a 550. Waiting to get the Mr. Bulletfeeder in the mail. I got the 223 and 9mm set up for the bulletfeeder.
Eg I have the kit from the link below, what else do I need to reload a 45acp.
