[QUOTE="338Shooter, post: 822462, member: 3449"] lol, I think I saw you. I was getting primers. A single stage press isn't a beginner setup....I hate hearing people give that advice. They are good for beginners to learn on, but only because it is slow and in full view. I wouldn't call a progressive an advanced users press either. A monkey with half a brain could use one effectively. You just need to know the basics of reloading...what you're doing, why, and how to do it safely. That will all translate very well from a single stage to a progressive....you're doing the same thing still right? first, get at least one reloading manual and read the beginning of it. That will give you an idea what's going on with pictures and stuff. I say if you want to crank out rounds for IPSC or something find a buddy to let you work on his single stage or turret and load a few hundred rounds. By then, you'll see what's going on and why you do the things you do to reload and you could probably get your own progressive and be just fine. Then all that's left is to be safe. Follow your manuals. Start 10% under max and work up for each gun. It's really a simple process IMO. If you want precision or mainly rifle loading, you'll want a single stage or turret press anyway.
