[ROYALE-W-CHEESE]

If you settle for a simple and inexpensive (note: didn't say "cheap") reloading press, you may find yourself wishing you got that fancy-shmancy progressive when you had the money.

Cost not withstanding, what specific setup would (or do) you use? Your dream setup, as it were.

Sounds like progressive is the recommendation of choice among many experienced loaders. Is there a fully automated system out there for private use? No manual anything except maybe loading the components into their respective auto-feed bins. That is, you'd simply "fill up the tanks" and hit the ON button.

Or would that be considered manufacturing?
