    Take into account the RCBS rebate. 500 bullets might make it worth the $200 difference. That and the RCBS seems to be a higher quality kit.

You can start with a progressive if you like as well, I just don't recommend it unless you plan on loading 1000+ rounds each run. If it's going to be a few hundred here and there then it isn't worth the investment. I see guys buying Dillon 650's and all they do is load 500 rounds of 9mm a year.
      What about Hornady's Lock and Load AP? I was really eying that. It seems pretty damned complete and easy to use for a beginner.

        When it comes to turret presses, that's one of the biggest controversies out there, red (hornady) vs blue (dillon). Either one will suit you well.

          I realy need to get into .223/9mm/.308/.300. I wouldn't mind a progressive for bulk range stuff and a single stage for .308 and precission .223 rounds.

              Lyman makes a good product. What in that kit runs on 220 though I'm not noticing anything that would warrant it over 110.

                You are 100% right, I had two screens open. I should have posted the 110v version.

                I maybe closer to pulling the trigger.......on a Hornady Lock and Load Progressive with the case feed attachment.

                  The lock and load is a good setup die setup can be a little tricky at first but after you get it done It's a breeze.

                  Edit: That is if the dies setup the same in the progressive as they do the single stage of the same name.

                    Good point. I want to be able to bulk load .223 and load if for the precision gun with the same dies.......maybe. It might be worth the $80 to buy a second set.

                      You won't exactly need a second set depending on the type of rifle being used and variance in bullet choices. Are you looking at running a single stage as well as the progressive? The skater die will be your biggest concern since target bullets are longer which will require readjustment compared to the bulk bullets. Also if you are gonna be running a bolt gun I highly recommend a neck sizing die.

                        I have the Lee Classic Turret kit on order. No feedback yet but from what I've read and seen, its a good mix between a single stage and a semi-progressive.

                          What dies and stuff will I need with the RCBS kit? There's over 20 dies listed for .223 on Midway, I have no idea which one(s) I need.

                            Not all dies work well in a progressive. I have a set of high precision Redding dies in .45ACP which are a bitch in my progressive. I have to guide cases into the resizing die and it hangs up often.

                              I figured some didn't work as well as others. Only progressive loaders I have experience with is shotgun related.
