Are there any good sites out there that lay out the basics of reloading for a novice?

My son & I have been reloading for well over 20 years, in many rifle and pistol calibers - also mold most handgun bullets and some rifle. One of the best ways to learn in my opinion is to purchase a couple of reloading books - (doesn't have to be the newest issue to have a LOT of information and the same basic info). I would recommend Hornady, Lee, Lyman or Speer. They all have the basic methods of reloading explained, Hornady is in my opinion the best as far as explaining all the basics as well as much advanced practices. Of course they all have most of the reloading data as far as brass length, powder charges, bullet weights, dimensions, etc. If you decide to start reloading, I would recommend a "Lee" single stage kit. They are fairly inexpensive and do the same thing as any turret or progressive press - just slower. Slower is not a bad thing when your beginning. Warning: reloading is much like shooting - it can be a very engrossing hobby, you will find you can not only shoot much cheaper, but can "custom tailor" rounds that are more accurate (or more deadly for game) in your firearm. I have heard nothing but good about the classes Profire in Indy holds, and sounds like it might really shorten the learning curve. My son and I are not really interested as we have a great deal of experience, (some learned the hard way) in producing ammo now.Are there any good sites out there that lay out the basics of reloading for a novice?
