Lee Classic is a good starting press. Progressive when they are running well are great, but they are all complicated animals and require a proper setup. I would never recommend anyone starting with one any more than I would recommend someone buying a high end rifle or pistol when they have never shot a gun. If you decide at a later date you want a progressive you can always EBay your single stage. I sold my first press for 80% of what I paid for it when I upgraded after using it for three years. Now I have a Hornady LnL and a Lee classic sharing bench space. LnL has pistol duty and the classic is for my rifle rounds
