2 different rounds
I will be reloading 358 Browning rifle rounds and Smith and Wesson 357 rounds. I shoot 38 special for targets and use a 357 load for a backup when I am hunting. Thats what I will be reloading so which press would you recommend a single or turret since I will be doing three different loads. I do not know anything about reloading so I would appreciate any information and I am in no big hurry in doing these loads either!

What press you use is immaterial. What IS important is that you learn something about reloading before you attempt it.

Ok, like what do I need to learn before I attempt it? Do I need to get a reloading manual and read up on it, if so what manual do you recommend?

I recommend that a beginner start with a single-stage press, but basically, the difference is that you have to do a lot more die screwing in-screwing out with a single stage than you would if you had a turret press that would take a number of dies. Otherwise, I'd say there's not much to choose between the two types.

I`d go with a single stage to start. The Lyman manual is the one I like for beginners. Speer, Hornady, or Nosler also are good. Be sure to pay attention to the instruction on reloading and ignore the data to begin with. After you understand what you`re doing and why then get into the data and decide on powder, primer, bullet, ect.

Buzzy, I think the best thing to do is to get some books on the subject, they help a lot. The NRA has a book and I think it is free. You need some thing to tell you the how to's and what for's along with what tools. That may even help you with your task of what to buy in the line of tools. hope things work out Buzzy.
