[QUOTE="erle, post: 1634319, member: 92976"] I've been hand loading for 67 years as hobby & for hunting. Load 10 rifle calipers & 9 pistol calibers & have never used anything but a single stage press. Never saw a need for a progressive press since I never shot in competitions or matches to have a need for a lot of shells in a short time. I have always just taken my time, learned every detail as much as I can, & enjoyed it. Most all of my equipment is RCBS because of their quality & warranty, & I use full length resizing dies. Always use resizing wax before resizing to avoid a stuck case. I began in 1959 using a hand held "nutcracker" tool & got good results. The main thing, as has been emphasized, is to read & learn as much as you can & then follow the manufacturer's instructions in detail, regardless which brand you buy. Today's equipment is all good. Purchase the best Scale you can because getting accurate reading on the powder load is most important for your safety. [/QUOTE]
