I have a hard time recommending buying a progressive of any type for a new reloader. Im not saying it cant be done, Im just saying you have not only the learning curve of learning to reload, but you have the learning curve of the press itself.
That being said, the 750 is a fine and reliable press. A good way to approach setting up a progressive it just approach it like a single station. Get each station working on a single round, checking as you go, and once you have the press setup, then you can move onto to full progressive. The thing about a progressive? You can make alot of bad ammo in a hurry if you arent setup right.
The case feeder is worth every penny on a progressive. A bullet feeder is a distant second. You can easily load 400-500 per hour without a bullet feeder once you get into the swing of it. A powder check die isnt a bad idea, but you will develop a manual of arms as you learn to use one. I check every round I load on my progressive with my Mark One Eyeball for powder. For me its an unconscious act now. You are also less likely to load a squib on a progressive unless you run the powder drop dry, or it malfunctions, as the press generally needs to be run full stroke every round.
A pretty standard setup for a 5 station progressive is something like this:
Station 1: size and decap
Station 2: expander
Station 3: powder drop
Station 4: seater
Station 5: crimper
In order to add the check die or a bullet feeder you have to do one of a few things. You have to use a PTX expander in the powder drop, or you have to use a seater/crimper die. If you want to use a bullet feeder and a check die, you have to do both. Personally I think the PTX is easier to setup, especially with revolver cartridges that need a roll crimp. I do run a bullet feeder, so in my case I use a PTX in the powder drop and put it in station 2, put the bullet feeder in station 3, the rest is the same.
Dont discount having even a simple single stage press as well. Sometimes you need one.
