[QUOTE="WGTX, post: 1822663, member: 99629"] Years ago I bought a Hornady AP setup, I’ve never used it, I’ve never reloaded at all. When I bought it the thought was mass producing 5.56/.223 due to supplies and prices. Fast forward to now after pretty big life change/relocating I want to start loading but since bulk prices and quality are pretty darn good mass production is not a factor at all,I’d like to focus on accuracy and being able to match ammo to use ”better” than factory offerings. I’ve been trying to study the basics to get started, bought a couple loading manuals and obviously reading stuff on the interwebs. Right now all I have is what came with the Hornady AP kit so I need to buy equipment. My question is, do I use the progressive press setup I have or buy a quility single stage press ? I don’t have a problem at all settling aside what I have now, maybe selling or trading it and buy another press setup. Not saying money is no object but I want equipment that I hopefully won’t want to upgrade quickly. So to recap, as a complete rookie at loading would you recommend buy a single stage press or use the progressive I have ? I need all the case prep stuff, dies, scales, measuring equipment anyway. Any advice and guidance is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
