I am pretty much in the same boat as OP. I've finally decided to pull the plug and start reloading even though I won't be having a "stationary" bench, that's the compromise I could talk my wife into I just keep my press mounted to the board clamp it to a table and move it to storage when not in use. I've decided to go with progressive press, so my initial investments are high, but I keep telling myself that this is an investment. I did some calculations yesterday and my box of 50 of .357 should be around $9.90 (I have brass saved, so only bullet powder & primer goes into price). Next best price I can find is about $23 per 50 in Wallmart so it gives me "savings" of $13 per box and it will only take me to produce 70 boxes to break even
