Because I was buying the gun, the press, and all the reloading components at the same time, I ended up starting off with a very inexpensive press. I bought the Lee deluxe pistol reloading kit for $79 from fmreloading.com. (includes auto-indexing turret press, scale, powder measure, plus a few other small items)
A lot of people cut down the Lee equipment, but for me it was an economical purchase that allowed me to get started in reloading. I am still using this press and it is working perfectly.
I am currently in the process of trying to decide if I am reloading enough to "really" need a fully progressive press. (Dillon 550 or currently leaning towards the new RCBS Pro 2000).
Even if I get a new press, I will keep the Lee turret to develop new loads on.
Cheers,
Reg
