The lee scale blows. Get a pocket digital scale for quickly checking charge weights. Get a beam scale if your reloading match rifle. I have the lee breechlock, I use it for precision rifle and also decapping. The rest goes on my turret which is much quicker

I'm just getting into reloading myself. I opted to spend the money on a progressive press since I was looking to get volume out of it, and I don't have a lot of time.

 

If your looking to just load match grade ammo, a single stage press is fine. If your looking to save money making go bang ammo, a progressive is a lot faster.
