So I am looking to get into the game of reloading.. I recently purchased a 338 rum that came with 150 pieces of lapua brass and another 50 that are already reloaded. Also came with rcbs reloading dies. I have all the load data for the bullets that are already loaded, so I guess my question is where do I start?What single stage press do you recommend?

What are those 50 rounds of loaded ammo for?Sorry, forgot to answer your original question. The RUM cases are one of the longest on the market so in a RCBS press I'd get the Rock Chucker Supreme.
The Rock Chucker has been the gold standard for years, you really can't go wrong buying one. If space is at a premium I'd recommend the Summit, it has a fairly small foot print and you don't have anything hanging over the bench blocking drawers. Just because they are RCBS dies doesn't mean you have to get and RCBS press. The threads on the dies are pretty universal so they'll work with pretty much all the name brand reloading presses.
