[QUOTE="WhiteyMacD, post: 822727, member: 7633"] I dont think the single stage is neccessary as a "first step". You can take your time with a progressive and learn just the same, you just need the discipline to do so. For me, it isnt hard to stay focused as I am creating little tiny pipe bombs. Rushing through it to just have 1000 rounds isnt worth a possible KB in my narrow mind. On the other hand, I bought a progressive first. Now I am working a single stage in the budget because I have specialty dies I need it for plus my rifle shooting is for precision. You can get a better "tuned" bullet from a SS for rifle than you can using a progressive. So my two cents,... think about your needs and rate them (do you want plinking rounds more than precision?), then research, then research some more, take a class, then research some more, buy a book or 3, find a buddy who will give you some hands on experience. If you are like me, you will find yourself with both,... eventually. So very very very true. You gotta do it cause you like the idea of making better than factory ammo, not cause it will save (allow you to reposition finances). ;) [/QUOTE]
