Are 2 single stage presses a big benefit? Are 2 scales helpful for consistency/safety?

I was thinking about buying a RCBS Master Reloading Kit to compliment my Forester Co-Ax and possibly buying a second beam scale. I have no other equipment yet and thought the accessories in the kit would be a good base to start with and the press would be a bonus. If a second press wouldn't be a big benefit or 2 scales are unnecessary, I'll just buy the components individually.

I would prefer to have a digital scale as a second backup unit. It is always handy to have a second press but it is not really nessesary. Again, why not get an inexpensive progressive as your second reloading press. Have fun deciding!

As for the presses, in addition to a Coax I use another single stage preess for at least one thing the Coax can't do. You can't use a neck reamer die in a Coax and if you do any reforming of cases requiring this, a conventional press IS essential. In addition to this, another press is convenient to have set up to pull bullets when necessary. It IS convenient to have, especially when seating bullets for different depths. If you seat one too deep, pull it out a bit, readjust the seating die, and move on. I use two presses ALL the time.

As for scales, two are probably a waste of time though I have 4 set up to use, two electronics, and two beams. I seldom use the beam scales any more and can't recall the last time I did. Probably a few years ago. The electronics are far faster and more accurate. For a time I double weighed charges on the electronics for my 'security' and confidence, but because of their consistency and precision, I found that to be a waste of time.
