Help!! Have never reloaded before I want to get the 650 to start, but am confused as to what to get along with it, accessory wise to start, am going to start slowly. I figure I will purchase alot of accesories once I get started but would like to know what is neccessary to start.

I suggest you start by purchasing a copy of the Lyman 49th edition reloading manual, and read the front section a few times, to gain some basic knowledge.

Start by loading a handgun caliber, easier to learn. In addition to the machine, at minimum you will need a die set, powder scale, your loading manual, a set of calipers. This will allow you to reload. You will soon add a case cleaner, meida, polish, and a separator.

I recommend a sonic cleaner as opposed to a tumbler for someone just starting out. Sonic cleaner is much easier, quieter, and takes less time.

I ordered the Lyman 49th edition from here, will I get an e-mil letting me know when it ships? or is there a spot on the Dillon website I can review and track purchases?
