My only experience with reloading was reloading a couple hundred rounds of 9 mm on a friends single stage press in already primed brass.
That was enough to convince me that a single stage press is probably not what I'm looking for.
I don't plan on relaoding huge amounts of ammo, so I think an inexpensive Lee press probably fits my needs better than a more expensive press.
I don't want to waste money by getting something that won't suit my needs, but I don't want to pay high prices if a more cost effective press will do.
From what little I've read the Lee Turret or Progressive presses might suit my needs. I've heard of people who love them, and people that hate them.
I've heard that a lot of the problems on the progressive presses are related to seating the primers. If that's the case is it worth depriming and seating the primers seperately. That sounds like something I could do while watching TV with a hand press and an autoprime. Is that a good idea?
If I'm going to go that route does the Turret press make the most sense, or is a progressive press still worth the slightly higher price? Is there a big difference in quality between Lee's two progressive presses?
It seems like no mater which route I go I need to get a scale, some calipers, and a case tumbler.
Any suggestions on the press, accessories for the press, or tumblers would be greatly appreciated.
