Seeking suggestions

[bhost1]

Want to re-enter the reloading game after a 40 year absence, and think I want to go right into a progressive setup rather than single-stage. Previously loaded 45ACP with good success on a Rock Chucker.

Respectfully seeking recommendations for equipment in the following calibers:
• 223 Rem / 5.56 NATO
• 300 Win Mag
• 308 Win
• 38 Spl.
• 44 Rem Mag
• 45 ACP

Not opposed to spending good money for superior equipment, but not interested in throwing money for flashy glitz either - utilitarianism is king at this stage of my life.

Would be great if there was a system/brand that would be a "Do-All" machine without sacrificing too much efficiency, but understand there may not be a good “universal” system, especially between handgun & rifle.

Hope this doesn't start a brand-war.

Thanks in advance...

I personally use the Hornady LNL AP and love it. I also use almost all hornady dies. They seem to work fine for me too. The one thing I will say for your rifle calibers, especially the longer range ones, is that I tend to load them single stage instead of progressive. I still use the progressive press but I manually weigh and charge each round instead of relying on the powder drop.

Thanks jcreek, I hadn't thought of that option - makes good sense.
