getting started with reloading CZ

[Danny]

just bought a new CZ, and I want to reload it. I've got a few questions for the pros here before I start buying gear
first, what kind of investment am I looking at to get set up properly? I want to do it right, but I don’t need the super expensive version
and then, about how long does it take to churn out 100 rounds once you've got the hang of it? also, what's the easiest, most beginner friendly press to start with that won't give me a headache?
Looking forward to hearing what works for you guys!

Great purchase. Around $400-$700 for a beginner setup should do, so theres press, dies, scale, calipers, primer tool, etc., depending on brand too and whether you catch deals. Once youve got the process down, 100 rounds can take anywhere from 45minutes to an hour on a single-stage press, bit faster if you go progressive.

@Danny If you want the easiest start, look at the Lee Classic Turret Press. It’s the perfect middle ground. You can use it as a single stage while you’re learning (one pull, one action), and then once you’ve got the hang of it, you can engage the auto-index and speed things up.

It’s way less fiddly than a full progressive press but much faster than a standard single stage. It's basically the gold standard for beginner 9mm loaders
