I am a reloading instructor.
There is allot to this - and - the last thing you need are 'tips and tricks' since these are always caliber specific. That means a tip or trick that works good on one caliber will blow your other firearm up in your face.
Before you buy anything - get a Hornady, Speer or Sierra reloading manual and read the begining - every word of the begining. If this looks like something you wanna do - then start off by buying a rifle or a pistol reloading kit.
Start off with a basic C press. Do Not get an expensive high tech progressive press!!! You need a basic C press anyway for small batches of loads. Starting off with a progressive press is just going to generate waste - and worse - this type of press if where all the blown up guns that decorate gun shops all across America come from.
45acp, 380 and 9mm brass - you can load almost 20 times - I only disgard mine when the heastamp cannot be read anymore. Not so for the 44Mag or 50AE - you will only get 5 uses of the brass at full power loads. Rifle brass is always good for 3-4 times. More if it is a bolt action.
If you use lead hard cast bullets - you can drop your ammo cost to under $4 a box of 50 for 45acp, 44Mag and 50AE.
There is always an exception in ammo and firearms. No rule is etched in stone. You need to read and be dilligent. Example - hard cast lead bullets work in all guns - except Glocks. (clogs up the barrel due to the way the lands and grooves are tooled).
It is important to take a class, or, find someone local to mentor you.
One rule with no exception: if it is not written down in the manual - do not do it or use the data. You need to verify everything in writting from two sources - one manual that comes with your tools, and one from the company that makes the bullets you are using. You cannot use Company A's manual for Company B's bullets.
And do not trust any load data you get online unless it comes from a manufacturer's web site and you double check it.
If you send me your email address - I will send you my basic reloading class handout.
Good luck and enjoy you new hobby.
