I live in NW Austin near Braker & Metric. I'd be glad to show you how I reload my .45's. I use a Lee Turret and also have 2 Lee single presses available, too. I've been reloading for 2 years and have shown a friend of mine how to reload. I have supplies and components to get you started. PM me if you want to get together.
I believe there is safety in numbers..
numbers like: 9, .22, .38, .357, .45, .223, 5.56, 7.62, 6.5, .30-06...

It looks like KR training has a reloading class back on their schedule:

Unfortunately I will be at work (in Louisiana) that weekend. Coincidentally, that's also why I haven't been able to take a CHL class yet. I've been at work for every class that I could find.

I would try to get with 06nop whenever both of you can schedule it.

Read the ABC's of Reloading, look over some manuals, then meet up with your mentor. There are certain things you simply need to be guided through; you're wise to seek out a mentor.

My dad showed me, and Longtooth filled in.

I bought the Single Stage Lee Anniversary Kit. It was under $100 when I bought it at the time. Separately, I had to purchase the calipers, loading blocks, carbide dies, tumbler, and (of course) consumable materials (primers, powder, bullets, and tumbling media). A kind soul and mentor on here even gave me a ton of .45 brass. (Non-reloaders at the range will often give you their used brass if you ask nicely.)

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.
