[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 105989, member: 12"] I agree that a progressive is not the place to start on reloading, plus you are going to need a single stage anyway. No matter what, you are going to need a basis of experience and the good single stage press (used ones on Ebay for $40 or less) is the place to start. As this is a LR forum, the assumption is you are reloading for rifles and you can get in a bind in a hurry if you do not understand the nuances of properly setting up the dies, powder charges, etc on a single stage much less a progressive. Progressives are easy to make mistakes on with powder in particular and that can lead to a "significant emotional event". Get someone who is an experienced reloader to walk you through the steps, setting up dies, weighing charges, OALs, trimming etc. As you gain experience you can learn how to set up the progressive and turn out limited loads and compare to what you build on the single stage. As your technique and experience improves and the rounds are the same and shoot the same, then you can spend more time on the progressive. got both and the progressive is not the place to build quality LR rounds.
