Have you ever reloaded on a single stage press? It doesn't take that long. As mentioned it's not a bad idea to start with as it doesn't cost as much to get started, you get to learn the basics and see if it's for you. Reloading can be dangerous, it's not to be taken lightly, and it's not for everyone. I'm OCD but I can still easily load 100 rounds in an hour on my single stage of 45 ACP no problem.
I do use a progressive press (a Hornady as well) these days most of the time now, but I loaded literally a couple thousand rounds on a single stand Lee press, that I still have. Still works fine. Sure a RCBS press would have been more heavy duty, but for some pistol rounds, that Lee O Press works fine.
