I started with a single stage to learn the process steps. It wasn't long before I wanted to increase output so began looking at progressives. I found that the progressive presses are great but most are expensive, all are faily complex and more prone to malfunction especially in the primer feed areas.
When I looked at the complexity and cost of changing calibers and primer sizes I ended up with the Lee Classic 4 hole Turret press with Pro-Disc Powder measure and am very happy with it. Prices for additional turrets etc are very resaonable so I now have turrets with dies and powder die risers for .40 S&W, 9mm, .45ACP, 45LC, .380 ACP. Once set-up caliber changes are a snap.
If interested FS Reloading has about the best prices.

I may end up buying a full progressive someday but I'm sure I will keep and continuing to use my turret to develop new loads and run small batches.
By the way I don't work for Lee I just really appreciate the LCT.
Hope this helps
