I am getting ready to set up a new reloading room. I have a Rock Chucker and a Pro Chucker 5. I've had the Pro Chucker for a while, but have been very patient waiting to get all the parts I need (OK - Want) and a new room to set the Pro Chucker up.
I have shell plates and tool heads set for 9mm and 223, so change out for those calibers will be fairly simple, I presume.
I recently added another caliber to the stable - 45 ACP. Since I shoot higher volumes of 9mm and 223, I plan to load those on the progressive. As for the 45, it will be shot less, I'm guessing 100 rounds per month. All of my other calibers are low volume, so definitely single stage.
Just curious - what would your threshold be to invest $150 into equipment for another caliber on a progressive vs just cranking them out on a single stage? I'll find out my threshold when I start loading 9mm and compare it to loading 45 quite soon!
