For starting reloaders, I really enjoyed this comprehensive thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/reloading/wiki/faq

I sell guns at Academy Sports and was visiting with a customer last week. I told him I was getting into shotgun reloading and he offered to sell me an old 12ga MEC 200 for $50. He said that he bought a more expensive press for competition and left me his name and number. Is this a good deal?
