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?

It all depends on how much your time is worth and how accurate you want to be, I started with a single stage press. I still use it for rifle, but if you want volume with little thought the Dillon progressive is a good choice. Still do your do diligence, if you fuck up you can do damage to your firearms and your self if you make a mistake. Again i want to make clear reloading is not something to start on a whim, it can be dangerous if you go outside of safe pressures, but if you follow safe practices it is no more dangerous then driving a car. Also it is no longer really cheaper to reload then buying cheap, but quality ammo for you specific gun in bulk is cheaper.
