This is the best thing you can do -- get an experienced reloader to teach you and point out potential pitfalls. Of course, there are hundreds of YouTube videos that can also help, but you can't beat being able to ask questions and get answers from people who know what they are doing.Richbirdhunter wrote:Looks like we're both located in DFW, if you'd like to get together I'd be happy to show you both systems.

have read here and there on it and see some recommend a single stage to start then get progressive and others say jump to progressive.
I'd be looking for volume with each session so progressive makes the most sense, does brand really matter? Lee vs hornandy vs dillon?
Would mainly be doing 9mm and 45acp to start but then expand out to 223 and then reloading for the c&r items like 303 british and 7.5x55
I wouldn't guy a single stage press, if you have any intention of getting a progressive later. I learned on single stage presses because that's all that were available. If I were starting out now, I'd get a Dillon and a reloading mentor.
