Whether it is economical depends as always on what you want to load and how many.
It will cost you probably $600+ to get started if you are thinking progressive press. Lots of small things, scale, calipers, dies etc.
So, if you shoot one caliber and don't care about a particular load it's probably not a good investment.
If you want a particular load you may have no choice. I shoot Bullseye and load .45 and 9mm for that. I also load rifle but currently not on a progressive press.
I agree with hgunner on the RL550. I have Star progressives for my pistol but the RL550 or the Hornady L&L would be my next press to give me better options.
