Probably because you have to keep changing dies with each stage, would slow me down a lot. This chart will vary thoguh as changing calibers on my progressive is 1 thumbscrew and pop a new turrent in with preloaded dies. 2 steps if you need a new shellplate.

I got mine strictly for .45acp. Then friends wanted reloading done and i agreed but they had to buy the dies. Now i got 40,.38,9mm and .50ae dies but not a single person has asked for me to load anything. I offer but they always say maybe later. I have never done rifle calibers. Looks a lot harder.

I started with a progressive and it was not too bad a learning experience. If you are mechanically inclined then just buy a progressive and you are futureproof. If not then start simpler with a singlestage. I hate buying twice so I just jumped in with both feet.
