[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 1626056, member: 108777"] I began reloading to save money, $5.00 and up for a factory round now $1.35 for my reloads. I was shooting 12" groups at 1/4 mile, figured I was getting older and I hadn't shot for many years as family and business took up my time. My first reloads the groups dropped to three inch. I got excited and began collecting data and reading more. Now at a quarter mile my groups are inside of a quarter in diameter. Still getting better. I am using Hornady AP press. They made a custom shell plate for my larger brass for me. The powder drop is within 0.1 g when the temperature is 68℉, I still check each one. I have an electronic digital scale, calibrated regularly. With my elderly eyesight the digital is much easier than a three beam. The changeovers take between five minutes and fifteen minutes. A single stage press would be fine if you never want to do quantities. You can use the multi-station press as a single stage if you wish. Spending the extra thirty dollars up front will save a bit later on. I use a sonic cleaner rather than a tumbler. A quick rinse and a dry over my cast iron and we are ready to go. Get what you need to get started, if you missed something buy it. Read a lot, buy a few reloading manuals, search the web. As you reload more you will make purchases for ease and more accuracy. I made my reloading table, there are many for sale. Bolt it to the floor. Have fun, be safe, concentrate, and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
