Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll be eyeing prices on progressive presses and maybe look into turrets as a cheaper option to start as well right now the hornandy and Dillon setups have the best reviews and pricing
Once I figure out my plan I might take you up on that offer for assistance richbirdhunter
We're both in Denton county as well

Re: Beginer Setup? Progressive?
yeah, i'd definitely go slow and cautious at first since you're talking about something that could be VERY dangerous if done wrong.AndyC wrote:If you're attentive, you'll be fine with a progressive press.
If you're a moron, it'll help you blow your gun up real quick - like a guy I know who destroyed his M&P because he was too impatient to take things slow, learn the process and understand it.
Brand doesn't really matter, no - but whatever you do, stay away from the Lee Pro 1000; you might get it to work eventually but it'll be a frustrating ride for a beginner.
hate to hear that about the lee pro 1000 it was one of the cheapest deals i could find.
I may check around and if i dont find a decent price on a progressive just get a rock chucker single stage for starting.

Beginer Setup? Progressive?
I've thought about reloading for a few years now and see more shortages on the horizon so now might be as good a time as any to jump in.
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
