Excellent advice......thanks!

I actually have used the aforementioned reloading equipment back in the day. We used to all help his dad make rounds. My best friend, his brother and me. So I've gone through the process on that exact equipment. I definitely wouldn't get rid of the single stage, and that's what I'd probably use for the .308 I love your idea about taking stuff with you to the range. You have to know I'm definitely going to do that when working up my loads!

I think even with a progressive, I'd still hand measure the powder for my rifle loads. With the .45, not so much.......LOL. I have several thousand brass (only fired once) whereas I only have around 1000 .308's (again, only fired once).

You've just reminded me I need to call my bro and ask him if he talked to his dad yet. I'm sure he'll include all his reloading books and such as well as the hardware.

That would be great if you get a complete set up to start. All the little things you end up buying really add up to a small fortune.
