550 is great. But its not for a new reloader. Reloading can be dangerous, and understanding the principles is very important. Start out with a single stage press. I have a progressive and I kow I would have had issues if I started out on it.
diddo!! I highly agree. A progressive is deffinately not for the novice I reloaded metallics for 2 years on a single stage before I felt comfortable enough to buy a progressive. Get ya a quality single stage press untill you are comfortable with all aspects of reloading only after then would I recommend a progressive and the dillon 550 is good choice but can be a bit of pain changing between calibers so that is why I went with a hornady L-n-L instead.
Any particular presses I should be looking at?
