With only having a 6.5 CM and it liking factory ammo I haven't felt a need to reload. But I'm going to be adding on a 300WM or a 7MM Mag shortly and thinking I will want to get in to reloading for those. I read up on the sticky here for beginners and figure that I will need/get the Forster Micrometer Seating Die and the Forster Full Length Sizing die. I do also see some other suggested tools & accessories in the thread.
Where I'm stuck is in deciding on a press. Is there a good 'starter' press? Will that be able to work well for me for the future or is it more of a get up to speed and then get something else? I like the idea of a progressive press and just doing 1 round at a time. Do those have issues with precision and usability for trying to get repeatable accurate loads?
How is the Hornady Lock N Load? I found a NIB one for sale on craigslist for a pretty good price.
