LA,
I totally agree with bigcountry. I have a Lee Pro1000 and it's great for plinking and mass production but as far as loading consistency, it leaves alot to be desired. It will usually throw a charge to within .5 grains, which is usually fine for my SBH out to 30 yards but as for shooting in my 44 carbine, I can't get the load consistent enough to group better than 2" at 50 yards. At 100 yards, the group opens up to about 5". IMO, if you are just loading for hunting and not shooting alot, I would definitely go with a single stage and either electronic powder scale or good quality measure...you will definitely be able to tell the difference.
