I have changed jobs and am not home as often as I used to hopefully that will change soon, anyway I have decided I need to get into reloading because I just love to shoot my XD too much wait "too much" not possible but I have no clue what I need to get started is there a book I should read just looking for some direction here.

You've got several options, but your best bet is to pick up a book like "The ABCs of Reloading" or other such books. Find a good gun shop or sporting goods store that sells loading equipment and ask them what you'd need. You'll want to read up and learn so that you don't get screwed in a deal.

Basic equipment includes a press of some sort, dies, a powder dispenser, a scale, a pair of calipers.
You'll also need primers, powder, brass casings, and bullets.

hey new here but thought i would chime in that www.midwayUSA.com has a list of what you need to start reloading for free on their site. However i do agree that ABC's of reloading is a good start.

I actually just picked up my first 2 handguns/firearms ever. Working at Midway has got me into an industry that I NEVER thought i would get excited about.

P.S. XD 40 and Ruger P94 are my first 2
