I am a newbie to reloading and want to get started reloading my own shells. I currently will be reloading .308 for a POF AR10 with 20 in barrel and .45 for a XD 5in tactical. I imagine that this list will grow some as time goes on(daughters are starting to enjoy shooting). I am debating between the Hornady LNL progressive press and a single stage (Hornady or RCBS). Any wisdom/thoughts out there? My main use for reloading is target/plinking rounds to maintain skills, with a few hunting rounds thrown in(I live in Colorado and hunt).
I have a decent budget but also would like to spend as little as possible. I am out for a Dillon. I imagine I will load about 200-300 .308 per month and the same with .45. I am interested in precision shooting with the .308 and it seems that progressive is great for .45 but maybe not so much with .308? I my original plan was reloading lapua brass with rcbs x,dies and developing loads from there. My question is this. As with most things it seems that as you get better with loading you end up loading more rounds and shooting more. As I start out can I get consistent rounds and refine my skill reloading on a progressive(and spend the money now) or should I just get a single stage and realize I will get great .308 and slower process for .45. I hope this makes sense.
