Default RE: Getting in the game

Are most single stage presses going to be able to handle long cases as well as short ones? Like I said, I'll want one press that I can reload all of my brass on, which includes .45 acp, .44 rem. mag, 7.62x39mm, .308,.22-250, 6.5x55 swe, 7.62x54R, .270, .30-06, and the long @$$ .416 rigby. Are almost all single stage presses going to be able to handle the large C.O.L. difference that I have?

I have a Speer reloading manual, Vol. No. 7 or 13, I forget now that I'm typing, I'm also looking at a couple others at the gun shop I frequent, but I forget what ones I really liked (know them by sight, not name). How well do you guys like the Speer? I really like it compared to what I've seen, but I haven't dug around a lot, I've read it cover to cover 6 times now, and I'm grazing it again now.

I've been looking at some of the packages that Cabela's has, there's one in there for only like 80 that's called the Cabela's special or something, it comes with a manual scale, single stage press, and a couple other gadgets. ANyone have any advice on it or one of the other packages?

What other stuff will I need besides the press, scale, glass, calipers, dies, shell holders? Like case tumblers, or deburrers, or any of the other 1500 things I see in the magazines? What about priming tool, is it easier to buy a hand priming tool or do it in the press?

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
