its not about saving, i just don't want to spend more than that for everything. i guess i'm going to have to get more opinions on what good equipment is. is a progressive REALLY necessary? i wouldn't think so. this is going to be done for fun, relaxing time on the weekends. i think it would be satisfying knowing that i put these things together and i'm shooting them.

It's not necessary. If you shoot a lot and are shooting your reloads it's worth it. Spending an hour loading up 400-500 rds is nothing but on a single stage it's gonna take all day.

I shoot about 500-600rds of 45 a month now, loading it up in a hour or so makes it worth it to me. It all depends on what you want out of it.

Personally, if you've never reloaded, go with a single-stage at first. I learned on a RCBS Rock Chucker kit. (It cost about $125, that was about 1994 or 1995.)

I still have my Rock Chucker, it's been a nice investment.

All of the big names (RCBS, Lyman, Lee, Hornady, Dillon) make good stuff.

Most of your decision will be due to personal preference.

For the precision rifles I'd think you'd need a accurate powder measure.

Good thought, don't make pleasure a chore. I reloaded all I could shoot and we shot a lot with a simple set up.
