What is a reload?

Answer 1

A reloader is called a press. There are single stage presses and progressive presses. You must use a set of dies for each caliber you want to reload. In each set of dies there are 2 or 3 dies. Each cartridge you reload must be processed with each die. A single stage has room for 1 die at a time, so each case is processed with one die, then the die is changed and processed with the next die. A progressive press has space for many dies, so it processes the case with all of the dies each time. Progressive presses are much faster but also more expensive.
