Ok, here's where I am.
I currently have a Lee hand loader and it is great for pistol calibers. It's a little annoying but if I have all other prep work done at Dad's or somewhere I can use it to seat bullets in the .300WSM.
Anyway, I am finally realizing just how much I should be reloading .223. I generally shoot Wolf and that's fine, but I am in a situation where I need to find out if there is something wrong with my AR and I need a couple thousand brass-cased plinking rounds, which I really don't want to buy just to zip through them. This may be moot if I can determine in some other way if there is a chamber issue.
So I figure, I need a press anyway to do the .300WSM, I have several other rifle calibers that I'd like to reload (30-30, 7.62x55), so I might as well get set up to load .223 while I'm at it.
What I'd like is this: a single stage press for a low cost. I already have a priming tool that I love, I weigh each charge, and I can use the hand tool for some operations. I don't really like Lee and I'd like something I can use for a good long time for the calibers I generally reload (the biggest being .300WSM, the longest potentially 30-06).
I've pretty much narrowed it down to the RCBS Pardner but I'd like to hear some recommendations from the board.
I'll also need a trimmer I suppose. Reviews seem to vary on those pretty wildly.
