All good advice above. All presses mentioned will suffice.
I reloaded (everything) for yrs on an old Lyman single stage up until last fall.
It all depends on you and what you want, and how much you can afford. Pus, how much time you have for reloading as well as how often you shoot.
I would claim for accurate target loads, that a single stage would be better for, rifle or pistol. For hunting and plinking a progressive will certainly fit the bill. A progressive will produce much more in a short time compared to a single stage.
With a single stage you will handle one completed round several times in contrast only a couple times with a progressive.
Just keep in mine, that if you ever decide to quit reloading you will not have any trouble getting rid of your equipment. Certain presses you may even be in the - blue.
Finally, do a bit of research on Customer Service and Warranty information before you choose.
If you do go progressive be prepared to be nickle and dimed to death.
Lets see some pictures when you get up and running.
Cheers
ETA: I do not necessarily agree with the cliche, that one needs to start out with a straight or single stage press.
most competition rifle and hand gun is done on the dillons. you can check with tubbs (rifle) and enos (handgun). they hold or held most of the records
