I was on a very tight budget, and bought the cheapest RCBS special press, a set of dies, beam scales, and went to town. At that time was only loading bottle necked rifle rounds, and shotgun. Polished brass with steel wool and a drill to chuck the case into Over the years, getting heavily into trap, and then handgun and rifle competitions, the volume of reloading has gone to about 800-1000 rounds a month sometimes. Depends on how many matches I hit, so consequently the ability to load a lot of rounds has forced investing into progressive reloaders. What you need to do before starting is look at your budget, determine what your needs are going to be, and IMHO go a grade higher than you expect to need right now. Are you loading just pistol or a combo of rifle and pistol? Wanting to get into shooting matches? All things that need to be thought about before getting into a great hobby.</blockquote>
