	1- I found that my ruger single six, the first pistol I owned,
	   did exactly that.  I started storing it in a cloth case and
	   have done so ever since, with no problem.

	2- If you are left handed, then you are likely pulling the
	   trigger rather than squeezing.  If you are right handed,
	   then you are likely anticipating the recoil and pushing
	   against it.  Relax, squeeze and let your arm absorb the
	   recoil either way.  Try shooting two handed if you aren't
	   already.  Go to a range and ask someone who seems to know
	   for some help.  Most shooters are more than willing to
           help.

	3- $150 is about right if you get all of the following:

		press(app $45)
		dies(app $25)
		shell holder(app $4)
		scale(app $40
		powder measure(app $20)
		reloading manual(app $10)
		funnel(app $3)
		lube pad and lubricant(app $5)
		
A caution.  Be careful, it is very easy to overload a pistol case and that
is DANGEROUS.  Check your cases all one last time before you put the
bullets in.  Do a visual check to see that they all have the same amount
of powder in them.

Good Luck and enjoy.
