[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 3070425, member: 112241"] I see what you're saying about paper punching loads, but for the exorbitant cost of factory ammo, even for that it's worth my time on a single stage press to load up 100 rounds to put away whenever I'm hanging out (away from the wife!) at my bench in the garage. That adds up after a while. Also, once the People's Republik of California passed that BS law in January 2019 not allowing mail order ammo, I prided myself on never buying another box of factory ammo again. I'm not going to be on anyones's registry. So I reload everything, and in advance of that law made sure I had enough reloading components put away to last the next few dozen years or so, getting on the right side of the supply chain for once. I have a Dillon 550B progressive, but only use it for pistol rounds, 9, .38/.357, .40/10mm, and .45 ACP, with 4 toolheads setup for those calibers on a wood stand I built that fits over another set of shelves, and locks into place with bench dog. I have two single stages for decapping / priming and loading anything with a shoulder (mostly 5.56, .308, .30-06 for Garands, and 6.5CM), including .357 SIG, plus .444 Marlin, .44 Mag and .45LC, just how it turned out. And a MEC Jr. for shotshell. Sometimes I see great mail order deals on shotshells, or recently the CMP had an excellent sale on Creedmoor 10mm already loaded with XTP bullets, and wished I lived in a free state where I could have it mailed to me, but until then I'll make all my own instead of going in and buying overpriced ammo at Turner's and having to go through a background check to get it.
