I reload to save money on my handgun and for accuracy on my rifle. I bought a mold and started casting pistol bullets and can shoot my 454 Casull for .06 per round. What helped was I already had the lead furnace and powder coating from making fishing lures. On my rifle I have a Savage Axis in 270 that shot about 1.5" at 100 yds with factory ammo. I have developed 2 loads for it that shoot about .5". A 130gr Interbond over 59 grains of H4831 that goes about 3000 fps and a 140 grain Hornady BTSP over RL-26 at about 3050 fps. For shotgun I did both by saving money and producing a better shell than Win AA or Rem STS.

As far as the press, I have an RCBS and a Lee and both work fine. Yes loading pistol on a single stage is time consuming and if I shot a lot of volume I would definitely look at a progressive of some kind.

Me too. 45 colt goes from prohibitively expensive to shoot to cheap cheap with reloading
