One more big vote for the Lee Classic turret press. If you can break it with your bare hands, you can probably bench press 400 pounds or more too!
I started with a cheap Lee single stage. Once I found out I liked reloading, I went for the Lee Classic Turret. Best thing I ever did! Immediately bought one for my son. It is now all he uses too. He added the primer feeder, auto powder dispenser, etc. I clean the primer holes, so deprime and prime separately. I also weigh every charge; (I know, I know.....), so I don't use an auto powder dispenser.
As has been mentioned, buy a 'kit' if you can. You will want the other stuff that comes with it eventually, and it's a lot cheaper buying it all in a kit.
Oh, yes, the CLASSIC version of the Lee Turret is a lot larger and stronger than their earlier turret. And one other thing: the Lee 'auto-indexes' when you raise the arm. You don't know it now, but the advantages of that become VERY apparent after you've loaded several hundred rounds on a turret that does NOT do that!!
If you intend to load thousands of rounds a week for competition, I'd probably go straight to a Dillon. But for 'normal' amounts, I don't think the progressives are necessary. And if you load a number of different calibers, the turret is just SO easy and fast to switch between calibers, you won't believe it. Just get a separate turret 'head' for each one. On sale, they're less than $10 apiece!
Bottom line: IMHO, buy the Lee Classic Turret and save all those HUNDREDS of dollars for powder, primers, brass, and bullets!
