[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2348047, member: 30309"] I would recommend a turret press or a single stage. The Lee turret press allows the reloader to operate in "single stage" mode by simply removing the advancing rod. Pretty simple. Lee offers their turret press in as a kit with everything but dies to get you started, but you will quickly realize that you will want some accessories, like a digital scale and the powder measure. The good news is that as you upgrade, you will continue to use the older components. For example, you would use the sliding scale that came with the kit to cross-check the digital scale. When yo upgrade to the primer feed, you will never look back. As you can see, I am a Lee fan. I've dealt with their customer service a couple of times. They were always helpful and courteous. Both times they sent replacement parts that I needed no questions asked. Excellent customer service, good prices and quality product. It was the trifecta that made the decision for me. Most Lee dies are very good. RCBS also makes excellent equipment and I'm not knocking any other product. For the beginner, the Lee Turret press is the best bang for the buck, JMHO. I would recommend you get a reloading manual first and foremost. Read the chapters on the basics and ask questions. A reloading manual (Lymans 4th edition is what I use the most) is a critical part of the reloaders tool chest. Most Reloading presses will handle both rifle and pistol calibers. 50cal is it's own animal. Pistol is typically easier to reload than necked rifle cartridges. Reload for the enjoyment and the process and to get a custom round. Cowboy action shooting is the perfect example of what a reloader is perfect for. Lighter loads, cast bullets. It's perfect! This last ammo shortage led to shortages of primers, powder and bullets - and in some cases brass. Stock up now so when the lean times hit, you can keep reloading. Once you find the powder you like, buy it 8lb. kegs or bigger. bulk bullets are fairly inexpensive. Primer availability has come back and, if you look, you can find them You might even consider casting your own projectiles after you start reloading. Good Luck! Ask lots of questions! [/QUOTE]
