[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1584183, member: 69192"] I would[U][I][B] NEVER[/B][/I][/U] recommend anything other than a single stage press for a person who is just starting out reloading. There are numerous critical stages to learn about reloading without having to learn the process of keeping a turret press up and running. I recently bought a Dillon 650XL and I am still having trouble figuring it out, when it is up and running it pumps ammo every time quickly and accurately. However if you have a problem with a powder drop or a primer seating problem, or a bullet depth the [I][U]press then will pump out defective ammunition just as easily as pumping out good ammunition[/U][/I], and then you have to figure out how to fix it. I find that getting a Dillon back on track can be a challenging task and I have been reloading for 55+ years. Get yourself a good single stage "O" press to start out, something strong, reliable and accurate. I have an RCBS Rockchucker that I have had for many years and thousands of rounds of ammunition to start out with. I believe that Forster Coax makes a good press, however they usually are out of stock when you try to buy one. I mentioned in a previous post on this thread, if you can find someone who is already experienced with reloading, a mentor, it will help you out tremendously. [/QUOTE]
