    I use a RCBS press that I purchased as a teen, about 40 years ago. It is slow, but for my purposes, it's fine.

    I don't know if they still do this or not, but DHS (gun shop on Centerville Road, between the Fleishman's), used to offer a reloading class, after which they'd allow you to use their presses in the reloading room). That's a good way to try out a few different brands of reloaders.

    You should also spend some time reading the "Reloading" section of the forum. Lots of good information and "How do I..." type questions and answers.

    Coach.

    How do I... get someone else to do all this shit for me and still pay less for ammo with no initial outlay of cash for equipment and/or materials?

    Simple - turn it into a government entitlement program; make sure you set the parameters so that you qualify.

    In that case, I self-identify as an ammo-sexual. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

    A gun is kind of like a parachute;
    if you need one and don't have one,
    you'll probably never need one again

    I was using the LEE 4 die turret press but after the squib I took the auto advance rod out and turned it into a manual advance... I use it like a single stage now.
    I also use the RCBS Rock Chucker as well now.

    The best I could figure on the squib either it got a partial powder drop or no drop at all just the primer.
