[QUOTE="vooduchikn, post: 2032619, member: 24535"] This. Knowledge is a must. Read, read, and read again. Ask questions. I have been reloading for only a few years now, but have loaded .38spc, .357mag, 9MM, 44MAG, 45ACP, 40SW, 223, 308, 300AAC, and now 308 and .243. I Learned the basics single stage and then went to a dillon progressive (650). At the time I was shooting a lot of pistol so it made since because prices in Hawaii are well, rediculous. Now that I have moved from Hawaii, I am not shooting as much (really need to find IDPA/IPSC group so I can get back into shooting pistol). Started loading 5.56 on it and now I am loading 308 and .243, but I am not using the full progressive mode. I hand weigh each charge and check every seat depth vice pulling the handle and letting it roll through the normal sequence. I would say if you are shooting modest amounts per month, a single stage should be fine. Progressives are great, but sometimes I wish I had a single stage again. Lee turrets as suggested above are really great too. May get me another single stage press. Get a good scale...do not skimp on this part. Trimming set up required for rifle brass. Read read read! Let us know if you have questions. The one thing we wont be able to help you with is the reloading bug, once bitten, you are screwed. Cheers! -Vood [/QUOTE]
