Newb reloader questions - Page 2

Some good advice here. When I got my first and only press though, I went with the Dillon 550b. I figured I would want a progressive sooner or later. + I really think you learn as much on a progressive as on a single stage. I would go for the progressive to begin with, unless cost is too much of a factor.

I would suggest a primer flip tray, and a decent micrometer, too. Those things are worth their weight in lead :)

I made a couple of videos for people who wanted to get into reloading. Not the best, but they've apparently helped some people. It goes over setup of a dillon rl 550b too.

5 parts, here's the link to the first...

You might want to consider reading a good book on how to reload. I thought modern reloading by Richard Lee was a very good book.
