Reloading needs to be learned one station/one step at a time. Whether one uses a progressive press or a single stage there is absolutely no substitute for knowing the feel of the handle as the press performs a given step or function.

In ANY progressive press you can feel each function, but the experience is "compressed" because several functions are happening near simultaneously. That is not conducive to new reloaders learning what they really do need to know.

So as i suspect you can guess; I highly recommend a single stage press to start with. Even over a "turret" style press. They are slick - sure enough. But when they do start to wear, and they will, where they wear is where the turret is connected to the frame. That translates directly to inconsistent ammunition. I don't personally like inconsistent ammunition.

Not only will the single stage serve you for a lifetime but if you buy one from "Big Green" you will have a press that you can load virtually any cartridge you can come with with dies for. And do it consistently.
