I have a Lyman Spar-T turret press that I've used to reload approx. 35,000 rounds (rifle and pistol) over the past 2 1/2 years. Actually, i have 3 of these presses installed on my reloading bench and I'm very happy with them. I use Lee Precision dies, Lyman Turbo Tumbler, Lyman digital scale, etc... and an old powder measurer that I bought at a gun show. for about $500-$1000, you can buy everything you need to start reloading. Reloading is my "winter hobby" and it keeps me busy and makes the cold, winter nights fly by as I'm always working on something. Lee has kits that included everything you need to reload, except the "consumables" (brass, bullets, primer and powder).

My next step will be to buy a Dillon progressive press to increase my volume. but the single stage, turret-style press is a good, safe way to start and really learn the process.
