New to reloading and looking for some guidance

[Ramem7mm]

Reloading is a big rabbit hole with lots of opinions and you will need to form your own opinions based on your testing. Learn the basics and if you find something that works do it the same every time to be able to repeat the same results. Quality results are an outcome of repeatable consistency.

Panhandle Precision and Erik Cortina have a few youtube videos that can be super informative. Watch them a few times and take notes.

Get Mitutoyo digital calipers and some basic hand tools. Burstfire anealer with prep center might be a decent option too.

If you pay for quality components brass, powder, bullets, barrel, and so on, you will get better results. Buy once cry once type of situation.

Where’s the best place to buy powder/primers?

Primers are usually cheaper online when you can get free hazmat.

Powder is way better to get in person unless you're buying 24 pounds at a time. $80 for a pound of H4350 in person is way cheaper than $59 + $20 hazmat + $17 shipping from PV or Grafs.
