[QUOTE="ssgrock3, post: 1046905, member: 71"] I disagree, if you don't keep cranking the handle then nothing happens faster than you want it to. A single stage will have you committing suicide in short order. They are fine for specialized loads or something non-semi auto, but christ you would be bored out of your mind in short order. The key to reloading is get a good manual...speer or other, read, read and read some more. Don't take anything or any advice without verifying it yourself with your manual. Reloading can be a fun experiance and very fulfilling, just be cautious. btw, 9mm on a single stage sucks, but back in the day there weren't near as many choices.. you can get some .223 done though if you aren't blasting. Single stages can be found used cheap....ebay the dillon 550 is probably the best choice but I probably wouldn't buy a proggressive till I know for sure I am going to stick with it. check craigslist or just your local friends. someone might give you a single stage press. used presses and dies are fairly cheap..unless it is .380 dies of course.
