So I have been satisfied with my cheap little Lee press until tonight when I resized 300 pieces of .45 Colt brass.
A single stage press is great for low volume rifle reloading but for high volume pistol it's about as efficient as square wheels on a truck.
I started off with the Lee whack a round because I wanted a cheap test kit to see if reloading was something I wanted to get into. I was able to get my feet wet for under $30.
Then after using that system i upgraded to a single stage and I was thrilled with the increase in efficiency. I was able to reload more rounds faster. Not a surprise when the competition involves a hammer
I am thinking my next logical step is to invest in a progressive press vs a turret press. I figure the turret only saves time in die changes.
Do I go straight for a Dillon or is there other quality presses out there such as Hornady?
Thanks for the input.
