    Completed cartridges are the goal but if you have no experience: "reloading" is really a abstract unknown. I recommend you reach out to see if you can get up with someone near you to familiarize you with the process starting with a Single Stage Press then follow up with progressive later. There are several details and critical pre/in progress/final inspections, settings, gradual adjustment and tests that you need master as Basics. These same basics are the foundtion you will rely on with the higher output press.

    Once you really comprehend what is involved, you can figure where you want to go. Reloading ammo is serious business and there are risks to life, limb and property if done improperly. Done correctly you can increase accuracy, tailor ammo to specific firearms/tasks, reduce ammo costs or produce higher quality ammo at a lower cost. I'm sure some people jumped directly into progressive presses, Great. I still recommend folks learn towalk before they run dealing with the intricacies of reloading.

    Obligatory commercial plug: RCBS Rockchucker. It will handle the largest and longest rifle magnums down to the .17 cal., and has the strength and leverage to handle reforming like 30.06 to other calibers.

    Good luck in your pursuit of this skill.

    I second the RCBS Rockchucker. I have had mine now since about 1979 or so. Reloaded thousands of rounds of 7mm RemMag,300H&H Mag,416Rigby,458Lott and the like with it. Reformed cases also. Several Ackley's and 30-06 to wildcats. Still going strong.
    Start with that. When you get really deep into reloading there will still be a "small batch" use for it. GUARANTEED !! ---- SAWMAN
