Thread: Reloading newb

As for presses, you're likely to choose one or other of these.

Single stage. Generally Cheaper (but not lacking in precision) slow, simple, fiddly in terms of changing dies unless you're doing batch type reloading. Saves money over a turret press.

Turret. More expensive, faster, more complex, less mucking about with dies. Saves time over a single stage press.

I started with a single stage to learn on, and have graduated to two turrets , one each for rifle and pistol.

To my mind, the best of both worlds is the Lee Classic turret, which can be used as either a single stage or a turret by removing a small operating rod. Not the top of the heap, but quite versatile.
