[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1824574, member: 107384"] IMO you don't need a high leverage press for .233 stuff; you're not reloading 20mm anti-aircraft shells. I'd get decent single stage press like the RCBS Jr. and learn the ropes on that. Get a powder measure that you can use with a progressive later on. You'd be limited to using powders that "throw" accurately from a measure. I have a Hornady Pro-Jector that works pretty sick when properly set up. As an aside, if I was in your shoes I'd just get new brass and "load" that as opposed to reloading fired brass. Find a friend or 2 to go in on a 5,000 or 10,000 round drum of the stuff [if you can find a source for that much] and sell off the once-fired brass. Hornady shows .223 Rem as being available in 3500 round drums. Lubing cases to use in a progressive seems like such a PITA. Old pics from Hornady ads used to show them using a Pro-Jector to load their premium ammo. [/QUOTE]
