probably been asked before but what books are good for reloading starters

I don't know what books are available to you down under, but all of our reloading manuals have a chapter on "How To Reload". Hornady, Sierra, and Lyman have these chapters. There may be others too.
I'd go to a gun store near you and look at books they have for reloading. If there is no store close, I'd buy one, or more from an Internet supplier. The ABC's of reloading is another good read when learning the loading process.
Good luck, and if U have more questions, just post them.

I like Modern Reloading by Richard Lee as it reads like a novel, and has some interesting load data. Many, many on this site will disagree and say it's outdated or whatever else. There are a bunch of good "inside" tips to be learned by reading the book IMO. I am sure the Hornaday book or Nosler , etc. are good as well. But I have always respected Lee for his products, practicality, and experience in all stages of reloading.

1. Any of the manuals have excellent chapters on reloading.
2. The ABCs of Reloading (any version) is good.
