[QUOTE="Okieprepper, post: 3689396, member: 11631"] RJ, I spent many hours back in the 70s sitting next to my grandfather watching and learning to reload everything. Those were fond memories. Years later during the ammo scare days of the Obama administration I decided to get into reloading, relearn the skillset and assure I would have ammo if and when ammo scarcity reared up its head again, as it always does. I bought both a Hornady single stage and progressive presses and all the accessories to load 12 or more calibers. I do find it therapeutic and fun to reload. Its a great pastime. I found that I could save money by reloading pistole ammo, but I could only about break even on rifle ammo. If I had it to do over again I would only buy a single stage press. Progressive presses are great for shooters who put a lot of pistol rounds down range and want to save money. But, loading with a progressive press takes absolute concentration to the process without distractions. There are many things that can go awry if your not paying very close attention. If you own a rare or hard to find caliber or one that is creatively made from another caliber's brass then reloading maybe just what you needed. One of the best reloading exposure and learning tools is youtube. Keep researching before taking the expensive start-up leap into this hobby. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
