I have allways believed in KISS (keep it simple stupid).
In 1975 I purchased my RCBS Rockchucker single stage press with an ammo crafter package and a couple of reloading manuals. I loaded 38/357, 30-30 and 243. My intent was to load a belted magnum in the future (338 win Mag).
I still use the same press some 37 years later. Now i load 38/357 45ACP, 257 Roberts, 44 Mag, 338 win 308 and Camp Perry match in 7.62 x 54 R.
occassionally i consider a progressive, but I like the portability of my single stage press which I have mounted to an old Army field table reinforced with a 3/4 inch piece of plywood. Spare dies, bullets and accesories are stored in my BSA Footlocker (still labeled with my name and Troop 420 as my father painted it in 1965). powders are storred in an old Army footlocker. I can set up or break down my bench in about 10 minutes when the boss kicks me out of the guest bed room.
My advice is to start simple and go from there.
