Longtime resident Lady Liberty, age 236 was struck by a stolen Chevy Volt last night along the interstate. The driver and passengers, illegally in the US from their native countries across the world, then dragged Ms. Liberty into the woods and brutally sodomized her before heading to the local polling place where they registered using the names of Supreme Court justices and voted without being challenged by UN poll watchers.
Authorities found them around the corner, each with a large supply of newly legalized recreational marijuana, getting high. They were taken into custody and released a short time later with a kiss on each cheek and a prepaid gift card for WaWa to handle the munchies.
Ms. Liberty is in extremely critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit, and doctors are very wary of her chances of recovery. A crowd of zombie-like citizens are already gathered at the Liberty residence, preparing to loot it of valuables when she succumbs to her injuries or the Death Panel declares her worthless and pulls the plug.

Why not an offshoot...
Been meaning to start thread a few days ago, after dry firing, I was trying to copy a link from youtube to chat....
You know you play too many gun games (uspsa/idpa) when you...
...double tap the Control + C twice before pasting the link.

There is no press that you can just sit on a table. They need to be bolted down securely so there is no flexing. They do make complete stands that work good too. I agree with the fact that the Lee Classic turret is a great starter press. You cant realize the full speed of a progressive when you are first starting off. You NEED to go SLOW until you learn the ropes. The Redding T7 Turret press will also last forever and you can do plenty of quality rounds on it. Be prepared to spend more on other tooling than you do on the press. It is a never ending hobby and in no way cheap. I am loading these right now...to the range tomorrow to get velocities.. -
Single stage will have a tighter tolerance, and you have more control over the process. Progressives are for bulk range fodder. Every experienced reloader gave me the same advice when I was getting into the hobby, start with single stage, so you can truly understand the reloading process and what you have to do on your end to make great ammo. Once you have mastered that, then you can think about a progressive. If you want to add a bit of convenience to your single stage reloading, a turret press (rotates the dies, not the shell plate) is probably better suited. It is still effectively a single stage operation, but you don't have to keep removing and remounting dies. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Whatever press you get, it will have to be secured to a work surface in some way. I bought an inexpensive 20"x20" work surface from HF to permanently mount my shotshell press on. It is mounted very sturdy and durable with the added 1/2" hardwood plank and extra big washers. If you haven't already, you should check out some of the reloading channels on YT. Ultimate Reloader is one of my faves, but there are scores of others with great advice. See it in action. -
The 550 is not a true progressive as it does not auto index, right? I'm in the process of selling myself on a XL750. For a starter press, you can't go far wrong with a Lee Classic Turret. It is cheap, auto indexes, and swapping calibers is easy. NB. If you go for a manually indexed press and work multiple cartridges at once, be particularly careful to monitor the powder drop stage to avoid no powder or double charges. With an auto indexing press the risk is way lower. -
The Dillon 550's are amazing machines. Plenty fast, and while there are faster machines in the Dillon lineup, the trade-off is that the faster ones take longer to change between calibers, and the caliber conversion kits are more expensive. You can use the 550 as a single stage press, one cartridge in the shell plate at a time, rotating between the stations after each handle pull. It's a good way to start out and gain experience. I've got a single stage press as well, used for larger rifle cartridges and the occasional oddball handgun cartridge that I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon...but it sounds like those use cases aren't in your immediate future. -

Why is the single stage an advantage exactly? Could I not build them on the progressive?
