[Once Fired]

This gives me some great information. I appreciate it.

I plan on reloading for pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Although frankly the idea of reloading plastic shot shells just feels odd, and I'll have to work harder at the research on that side to be thoroughly convinced of its safety compared to brass.

I am looking for maximum utility. Mostly for plinking, then self defense & target, and possibly for hunting over the long term. No truly competitive shooting planned.

The overall idea is maximum versatility with the smallest set of components. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible, spending once and getting precisely what I want for the long haul, while providing myself a respectable level of output over the long term. So, I plan to go progressive on the reloader, to minimize the number of reloaders I buy over time, for instance.
