I’d spend a little money on a progressive press... 5,000 rounds of pistol ammo, even using good batch technique, takes a fair amount of time on a single stage.

You can get a lee 1000, which will work fine if you are careful with it, for about a $100. Probably even find a better deal used.

Lee sometimes has seconds for a nice price if you go to their web site.

If you want a little nicer and are willing to pay more, maybe a square deal from Dillon...

i just moved up to a turret press, its still not a nice progressive where every pull= a bullet, but at least i get all the dies set up on the same machine. that’s cut my production time by a lot already.
i suppose if i shot less, or quit buying guns for a while, i could afford a dillon :)
