[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4179362, member: 45785"] If all you do is zero the sights once a year, and shoot 1 deer a year, just buy the ammo. 1000 rounds will last you a lifetime. If you shoot every week, and go through 500-1000 rounds a week, you need a high-end progressive press or two. I've mostly managed with a single stage turret press. I think it's been over a year since I last went shooting. In the 80's I was doing a couple hundred rounds nearly every weekend, at a minimum. Same press. Lyman Spar-T. I'd get a fairly simple press regardless, in case you just want to play, but that's just me. I have a couple of projects I need a hydraulic press for. Bought a HF 20-ton press the other day. Mostly to make stuff to play with for reloading gear and fixing my machine tools. It would allow swaging softer metals for fancier bullets... Maybe some day. My reach doesn't seem to go as far as I'd like... [/QUOTE]
