Hello,
I am going to jump into reloading soon and try and reload some of my milsurp rifle rounds, 8mm Mauser, 7.62x54r 303 British etc. to save on sourcing these rounds and the cost per round that I am paying. I have never reloaded before and would like to ask a few questions to help me start the process. I have read the stickys and they were a huge help but I have a few questions regarding purchasing a press. I believe I want a progressive press to get started. I like the amount of rounds per hour that they can produce if performed correctly as opposed to the single stage press. Would it be best to try and find a used set up or buy a complete stater set? I saw a Lee Anniversary Kit for a pretty good price but I also thought that maybe someone on MDS has a press they wants to upgrade and sell theirs first. I would like to get into reloading as cost effective as possible.
Any thoughts, comments and advice would be great.
Thanks!
