    Instructions perschmuckshuns. Just go for it like I did. Nothing quite like popping a primer because you forgot to ream the crimp out before priming the brass then attempted to use brute force to seat it!

    Wooo, hoooo! I love excitement in my life!

    FWIW, I started with a Dillon 650 and I don't regret it. The learning curve is steep, but I'm glad I have the progressive. This being said, I still plan to buy a regular (single stage) press at some point to do precision ammo for a long range gun.

    I started on a turret and am glad I did. I would have preferred a better model press than what I initially got, but adding a second turret press is cheap and easy.

    I do some single stage work with it, but all the dies are setup in the turrets and I can swap out a setup in a snap.

    For a turret press, this is a better choice IMHO.

    Thanks everyone. Picked up a few items today at Cabela's. Going back and forth between the Dillon 550b and the Lee Turret press kit. Dillon is more expensive and needs more stuff whereas the Lee provides a lot of what is needed to get going. This whole process has so much information. Can't wait to get started though.

    Avoid the Lee "deluxe" press kit. Not as nice as the Classic, different presses altogether. I made that mistake and will end up using the deluxe for pistol and get a classic for rifle.

    Thanks. I have a trip to Phoenix coming up. Maybe a stop at the Dillon store is in order.
