    So would a SDB Be sufficient for maybe 500 rounds a month initially. With another set of dies?

    AB and RUMBLER
    i appreciate it. Still working on thr 262 mod1 project by the way.
    I know i would like and appreciate a 650 or 550 but am trying to save some pain on initial investment..
    if i can buy a kit and get loading in both calibers for the cost of a 550 that would be great.

    I am not loooking to produce match grade ammo. Simply a decent quality practice ammo that i can affordably shoot in a higher quantity.
    I have an idea that i would have no problem selling a used press they seem to go pretty quick on here.

    SB yeah i talk to as many guys who reload with a lee press as reload with a dillon. I have seen dillons and they are well made. I have also seen lamborghinis and can admire them also.

    I have a dillon 1050 so I load a shitload of rounds but when I first started out I used a single stage press.
    By using a single stage I was able to take my time and load accurately and slowly to get the process down. Then I moved up to a progressive press where things get complicated and not so nice for the beginner.

    Just my 2 cents.
