My "Trainer" press arrived today.
The mailman was good to me today, received both my carry permit AND my first press.

Nothing fabulous, a RCBS Reloaders Special in very good shape. I was looking at Rock Chuckers, but the 3 or 4 per day that sold on Ebay were running around $100 plus used. I can get a new one for about $135 delivered. But you all have convinced me that Dillon is the way to go, so I don't want to invest much upfront on a single stage setup. Buying used, should I decide to sell later I can pretty much get my money back, but as small as the investment is I'll likely just keep it. May decide to do some rifle someday. Didn't want to jump into Dillon right away, "baby steps" right? Also I may not really enjoy doing this, don't know until I try it.
Adding a pic of my workbench, the poor little RS sure looks lonely. I'll probably throw together a bench elsewhere in the shop for the loading stuff. I feel fortunate to have this 16 x 20 room off the carport.

Have some more stuff to get, but plan to be rolling by Labor Day.
