Reloading is the one part of the hobby I haven't jumped into.

My EDC is a .38 special.

The other calibers I have in my collection are: .300 blk 5.56 NATO .308 Winchester 9 mm .45 ACP .22LR (Don't plan on reloading) 12 Gauge

Probably picking up my first .32 ACP soon


I've read a bit about progressive presses versus single stage.

This seems like a do-it-all choice. But very pricey. Out of my budget by far.

Any recommendations for something a bit more conservative?

I highly recommend a Dillon progressive press with a minimum of the automatic powder dispenser. You really want to be able to crank out the volume for all of those calibers. If you had said you just wanted it for hunting or precision shooting, I would say cheap out for the single stage presses like a Lee. Dillon has really good customer service, I would give them a call.

In summary, save up for the Dillon.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I gotta wait a bit longer to jump into this. All good :)
