I'd like to get into reloading, partly for fun (handguns), partly because I can't get the loads I used to be able to get for my hunting. In particular, I like to shoot my magnum rifle with lighter bullets for smaller game, so I don't have to buy yet another rifle ...
I looked around at it seems to me that for a few hundred rounds of handgun ammo a year plus maybe 100 rounds for hunting a year, a progressive press isn't the way to go. Also, seems that the single stage presses may be more accurate / higher quality for less money than the progressive.
So, what is your preferred single stage press? And would you recommend buying a kit? From all the reading I have done, the kits seem to be spotting poor components, such as cheaply made scales or measures.
My budget is $300 to get going with a pistol caliber. Is that feasible? All I have so far is spent cases and a caliper.
I checked on CL - not much there - and overpriced.
Thanks!
George
