All about the process. Understand what needs to be done to a fired piece of brass to get it ready to chamber and shoot safely, and bounce that off each process in your reloading cycle.
My first press was a Dillon 550 (lots of years ago.) After a couple decade hiatus, I'm using a Hornady AP. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either (or other progressives) to someone starting out in reloading as long as you first do the above mentioned learning.Comment

Wow, guys, I remember when this thread started and I thought "what a great idea!" 4 years later and I haven't reloaded in probably 3 :-/ Kid. Work. Etc.
I'm looking to simplify my life but I'd still be down to join y'all if you do another get-together. In the mean time I just made an inventory of my stuff and I plan to put it up for sale. Perhaps if someone here is interested we can just PM and work it out directly. I live in Oakland.
What I want:
- simple single-stage press to reload for hunting rifles (.270/30-06)
- any dies/components for above
What I'm getting rid of:
- Hornady Lock-n-Load progressive press. Maybe 1000rd ever gone through it.
- Only shell-holders I have now are 40cal/10mm and 7.62x54R.
- Misc primers I probably won't use (eg small pistol, sm. rifle)
- bullets I won't use (110gr .277" aka good 6.8SPC rounds); 750ct .40cal
- cases of once-fired brass I got and never used (.40/45/9mm/556)
- 6.8SPC loaded ammo (57rds; Barnes 95gr TTSX good for hunting in condor zone)
- dies: 762x54r (used, Lee): .40cal new Redding
- misc powders I won't need
I'll make someone a good deal on all this stuff. I mostly want it gone as I have neither the room or time to dedicate to this hobby anymore. I'll just keep enough around to keep me into hunting ammo and to quell the urge to reload...
(attached a shot of my notes from the inventory -- forgive the crappy hand-writing I wasn't planning on sharing it)

Guys....
Let's put something together finally....
I may have a large indoor area in San Leandro that we might be able to use to meet, greet, problem-solve, etc.
You bring your gear & materials and we'll hone techniques, share advice, and kibbitz.
No entry fee and maybe the opportunity for a swapmeet.
