I will. I've been there a couple times. Bought a few things. Definately going back. He's a nice guy and very helpful.
Geronimo, If you have questions then ask. Many of us reload. Wish I had taken a class instead of learned from a friend. Picked up a lot of bad habits.

Or any of the major reloading manuals. They all have step by step instructions. And there are some good tutorials on youtube as well.
Hickok45 on YouTube has done a couple good reloading basics videos. There is a shop in Temecula that has a lot of blue press business and had a setup to teach you the basics. West coast ammo I believe. Also if you ever get up to the Covina area philips wholesale is my favorite place for all things reloading.
I believe there is a class at LMC Ammo on Magnolia in El Cajon. I considered attending a class there but never followed through. Primarily because after doing a ton of research, I opted to drink the Blue Kool Aid and ordered a 550C; I am so glad I did! But LMC stated that I'd be better off starting with a single stage press, which I felt wasn't in my best interest. A few months ago I received my 550C; an electronic scale; bullet puller; machine dust cover, low powder sensor, strong mount, roller handle, toolholder & wrench, bullet tray, cartridge case bin & bracket ( these last 6 or 7 are options), an extra powder die; primer flip tray, two tool heads, an extra tool head stand, dies (Dillon) for .38 special & .38 short colt (I'm a beginning Cowboy Action Shooter). It isn't rocket science to get started, but you have to be careful when you set up your bench. Keep it spotless, no distractions (radio, telephone, bystanders, etc..). The instructions that come with your machine is detailed so if you pay attention you'll be fine. The Dillon staff is but a phone call away and always there if you need help. I opted to pruchase a Frankford Arsenal wet case cleaner for my brass because I didn't want to keep purchasing the dry media, polish, etc.. (Lemi-shine & Dawn dish liquid soap is easy to find and less expensive in the long run, and makes your brass look like new; but watch the ph level of your water or your brass may come out on the graying-black side). Adjusting your dies is the most critical step you'll encounter. I bought a digital Caliper from Harbor Freight and use it all the time to check measurements periodically when loading. Treat your scale with kid gloves, and measure your powder charge being thrown about every 10 to 15 cases. Hope some of this helped.
