[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1342450, member: 100"] You'll need a single stage press (Or possible turret) anyway, and it's a safe way to begin reloading. The RCBS rockchucker is a great press, but has become way overpriced in the last decade. The Lee cast press is actually better IMO, cheaper and has a huge stroke, if you ever get into really long cartridges. Don't forget all of the little stuff- Dies, case prep tools, capper, scale, tumbler, powder measure, trays, zip lock bags, markers, etc.. it all adds up. Surf ebay, check Craigslist, classifieds, OSA, big vendor sales. A progressive press is great if you have 1 or more main calibers and have grown weary of pulling the handle. I have a RL550 and leave it set for .45 cal200gr LSWC's over 5.3 gr 231. I throw a couple charges to weigh and get everything right, then get on with the routine. Too lazy to screw with everything and set it up for other, less frequently shot calibers. [/QUOTE]
