[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2037252, member: 18710"] I have heard the "start on a single stage" advice before and that is how I started. It is good advice. I keep thinking that my Dillon 550 is just a turret that rotates on the bottom if I put one case in and rotate it around by itself. That is what I do to set up the press or adjust the dies. A person can use the 550 just like a turret press. If you were to start with the BL550 until you learn how and only use one case at a time your upgrade to a progressive would be smaller. I have a RCBS rock chucker and a Dillon 550 upgrade to "B" and I just got a Lee hand press. The Lee hand press would be the most basic one available but I don't think it would be great to start with. Starting with a single stage and getting a progressive later is good too if you keep them both you can get the progressive setup for your most used cartridge and use the single stage on the others until you get the conversions for the progressives. That way you don't have to get all of the conversions at once. There is very little bad reloading gear. It is about like sex. It is all good and some is better and you will like some that another person doesn't. So get what catches your eye and learn with it. Unlike sex you do have to read the manual. [/QUOTE]
