I would like to start reloading 9mm I was looking at lee pro 1000 it is less money than other presses just would like to know if it is one of thoughts cases you get what you pay for

I don't really know what I want I have only ever loaded shotgun shells maybe a single stage of better quality wouldbe better all of your help would be great

I don't really no just shot for fun on the weekends and I enjoyed the shotgun stuff just want to do it for fun calibers are 9mm + 38 super + 45 acp

What about the single stage presses would that be a cheaper way to get started don't want to spend to much at least to start then maybe move to a progressive type

What brand would you suggested

you can also look at turret presses.. I have a Lee 4 hole turret press for my first press. That plus the auto disk powder measure, the riser for the measure, the safety prime (i believe its called, its lets you prime off the press), and then the dies was like 180 or something total I think... It works great for beginners in my opinion because you can take the auto indexing rod out and reload like you had a single stage press, then when your comfortable or you just want to operate somewhat like a progressive press, you can leave the auto indexing rod in and the turret will rotate itself. You will just have one case instead of multiple casings.

Then to change calibers you can by a new turret head, powder measure (to keep it really simple and not change out the disks), and dies and you can set up multiple turret heads for different calibers. So if you would like to change just pull it off and then drop in your other caliber set up and your good to go. The safety prime kit comes with a small primer and large primer dispenser.

That's my two cents for a first press. I have nothing against it. I only load 9mm right now, but I have friends that shoot .380, .40, and .45acp so I will be purchasing the turret heads for all of them.. If your going to just stick to 9mm then take the changeability out of the decision process.
