Hey everyone Im considering (actually Im set) on buying a reloading press. Didn't want to start a new thread so thought id ask here. From your experiences what reloading press should I get if money is not an issue, only interested in buying 1 press not multiple. Will be reloading 300wm, 338lm, (maybe 223 in high numbers), 500S&W, 9mm and 380 acp.
Don't want to de-rail this thread, but here are some previous threads with lots of info from a bunch of knowledgeable reloaders for getting started

Welcome to the deep rabbit hole of reloading. Hope you've already said goodbye to the ability to walk past brass on the ground at the range lol
I'd seriously recommend two presses: a Dillon for the high-volume 223 and 9mm, and a single-stage press for the big rifle and revolver rounds that you should want to load with individual care, plus being able to load the less-common calibres with regular die sets. If workbench space is an issue, Fast Toys (FTP) sells mounting plates that let you swap presses on a single base.
Good thing about the 500S&W is I wont have to look at the ground
I have already been collecting all my brass since I started shooting.you know what I like that idea. I might start off with the single stage as you said. I cant find 500S&W ammo if my life depended on it.
^ Totally agree. A good single stage is a must but reloading hundreds of 9mm on it gets old fast.
@Brno17 I have an RCBS Rockchucker supreme single stage press with uniflow measure i'm planning to list, message me if you are interested.

Got into reloading last year after picking up stuff for it over the last 15 years in anticipation for when I would have time to reload.
Enjoying it so far!

Arent you worried about a storage locker break in?
I have seen my fair share of these style units broken into and decimated, it's very common for theives to hit these
Well. Looking to order some T slot pieces soon to properly set up my reloading bench
To help with wire management ( tumbler/ powder shot) I’ve installed a power bar into one of the cross pieces of the husky table I procured
Will post more pics once I get everything set up

I just recently noticed this sticky and explored too find out my gun rooms a pig pen compared against other CGNers but I’m gonna show you anyways. I built the bench with drawers and 100lb sliders so Im able to load lots in the six of them. I made Black walnut face and drawer fronts 8 years ago but still haven’t installed them yet. The drawers have all my primers,powder,loading blocks,magazines/clips,reloading tools,brass,hunting knives etc. The rest is on the desk or shelves. The other side of the room has storage for my loaded ammo,gun cases,books and hunting clothing.

I just finished reloading and realized how disorganized and poorly ergonomic it is.

Forgot about this thread, here’s mine currently. I built the upper shelves earlier in the spring/summer, got tired of everything cluttering up the top of the table. I’ve since mounted and wired in a light above the window, have plans to build a second smaller bench for the left hand side corner and a small vertical end shelf.
