I think every reloader should own a single stage press, and more than likely most of them do.

Buy the Progressive first or after your single stage, I don't think it matters. I own and operate a Hornady LNL, I also own and operate a RCBS RockChucker. There are several jobs I do, that can only be done on the RockChucker so I will always have a need for it.

I do all of my cast bullet sizing, de-bulging, BHN testing jobs on the RC and I wouldn't be able to do it on the LNL.
