Most people who use a single stage press load small batch rifle rounds. When you start getting into pistol and 223/556, it will be very time consuming. A progressive stage press is best for those. The value in loading your own isn't necessarily in saving money but making a round that best suits your gun and needs. There is a costly rabbit hole you can go down very easily here. If you just want to reload stock rounds, that's one thing, but when you start wanting to do custom, you will need additional equipment.


I reload custom pistol rounds exclusively (9mm) and it's been well worth it for me and I enjoy reloading. The politics of it are that at any time one of the components, like primers, could be regulated and halt your production.

I think that I would enjoy it as well, as a winter time hobby. I just can't decide if it is worth the initial investment. I can't really see myself doing much custom loads or anything like that.

If I'm following you, that means I should look harder at a progressive loader/press?
