Ok guys, this is my scenario. The last time I did reloading was 20 years ago and I borrowed my neighbors press. Today I currently shoot the following calibers . 5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 6.5 Creedmoor, 9mm, .40, .45acp, and .41ae. I already have the dies for .41ae since I ran across a new-still wrapped in plastic Hornady dies. The 7.62x51, 6.5 Creedmoor, and all pistol calibers will see only single stage press work since the volume will be somewhat low and with the rifles accuracy counts. So initially I will be doing all of my reloading on the single stage, but once I get comfortable with my abilities I plan on getting a progressive press for the 5.56 and 9mm since I shoot these calibers hundreds of rounds at a time. So since I will have a rather considerable investment in dies, what brand of press should I consider for the single stage that all dies will work on the progressive press. As I understand it most dies will work with most presses, which die/press combination is the exception? Any opinions about sticking with Hornady items? Is there a superior die brand over all?
