Opinions wanted: Progressive reloaders!

Nothing like a good old fashion pizzing contest.
I've owned most of them over the years.
They all worked. Some required a little tinkering, some more.
They are mechanical in nature so all will experience some failure at some point and time.

As had been said the answer is a moving target.
Whatever you get your taste may change and so will your requirements.
Jump in, learn the dark craft, and enjoy it.

I think do a little reading online. Get a reloading manual and read the reloading stuff a time or two then get with an experienced reloader if you still have questions.

Drink the Blue coolaid it's refreshing. I have a 550 its great. Brian Enos will set you up with nothing more than you need.

On another note I think you will find you will need a single stage press anyhow. Nice to have for a million different reasons. If I did it all over again I would do it the same and get a Dillon RL550B because it is cheap and easy to change and add calibers and I never heard anything bad about the costumer service from Dillon. Brian Enos has free shipping over $400 bucks and will not sell you a thing you don't need. I do think you will find yourself needing a single stage press for things like push through dies and depriming crimped pockets and other stuff just saying the 550 will do the trick but having a single stage too is a must. I think you will want a few 1050s too, I know I do. LOL I would go with Dillon I spent hours looking into this before I bought and went with the dillon.
