greenr18... Are you a sales person?
How'd you get that from his posts in this thread?
Greenr18,
That setup would work for rifle and pistol ammo. Shotshell is another animal entirely, and you need different equipment (
not saying it is necessarily harder, just different... I don't currently load shotshell, so I couldn't help you on that one).
Anyway, that kit would certainly work for loading rifle and pistol, though it wouldn't be as quick as using a $500-1000 progressive press. FWIW, I load rifle single stage anyway, so it is a moot point for the speed of rifle loading, at least to me. And, you can certainly load pistol ammo on it if you only need a couple of boxes at a time (I wouldn't try to load 1,000rds/wk on a single stage, but most people don't need that capacity anyway).
If you do feel that you need more speed, you may also want to check out the turret kit I linked to above. It isn't as fast as a progressive, but is faster than a single stage.
Also, read before you buy!!! I found that my local library carried the ABC's of Reloading, as well as a few other shooting books. You should also check out the Lyman 49th Edition loading manual. You'll need a manual anyway, and this book has a lot of "how to" information at the beginning.
When I started loading (about a year ago) everyone told me to read up on the topic first; I'm glad that I did.
