More time is taken reloading on a single stage than a progressive, but you will learn each step and what is involved. This should be your goal right now, not how many rounds you can pump out each hour. You can find older single stage presses for pretty cheap used that still work fine. I would start with reloading .40 cal first to learn the basics and not worry about the .223 yet. That way you will also see if you even like reloading. You probably will though. Get a reloading manual and read it. RCBS has a dvd on reloading that is pretty good, however it is also a big advertisement for their products. But the information is good. If you can find someone that reloads in your area that will let you watch and learn from him, this can be the fast track to learning the process. And check back here from time to time. There have been some basic reloading classes members have given before, but I don't know if people have stopped doing this.</blockquote>
