I started with the RCBS Rock Chucker and still use it today, I have purchaced a Lee Pro 1000 for my pistol and .223 plinking rounds, but still use the Rock Chucker for hunting and competition shooting. With that being said though!, now is not a good time to get into reloading either, components have dried up just as much as the ammo, also, equipment is hard to get. If I were to start over, I would look for used stuffat the gun shows, local papers and check out estate sales.
