The reason for buying a single-stage is to learn the process of reloading, and to have the right tool for the job, if you ever decide you want very accurate bolt-action ammunition, in lower quantities. If all you're ever going to reload is LOTS of 9mm, 40, 45 or other pistol ammo, a progressive is fine, but as a gunsmith, I seriously doubt your scope is going to remain that narrow.
Thank you very much for your service to country and I wish you nothing but success in the future. I would also be glad to show you the ropes, when it comes to reloading, if you are interested.

Thank you. I just did some looking at single stage presses. And I think I can afford this- Reloader Single Stage Press to learn on.
Will that be ok to learn the ropes and start on? I just dont want to spend a bunch on one since my main goal is to move up to a progressive.
