If you need five sets of five for a ladder test, not so much. Depends greatly on what you need. If you don't know what you're doing, a progressive press is a great way to load dangerously overloaded or underloaded ammo in great quantity. You should learn the basics first. Learn to make 50 rounds of consistent ammo suitable for the kind of shooting you do. Once you can do that repeatedly, THEN maybe you can get good use out of a progressive press. And you may find out that you don't need or even want one. Might also find them the greatest thing since sliced bread! In which case have a ball! But starting on a progressive when you don't have the basics of reloading safe and functional rounds is asking for trouble. Financial and safety. You can go through a lot of increasingly expensive components very quickly with a progressive press. It's much harder to do with a single stage or smallish turret press. Get the basics first. Then you will have a clue.</blockquote>
