As I'm pulling the handle on my single stage press for an hour last night, I could not help but think that with a progressive loader I could be generating a loaded round every time I did that.
I can't afford a Dillon Precision. I've heard that the documentation on the Lee is bad, and it is hard to set up.
Anybody use a progressive press or have any recommendations?
Anything with the label of "Progressive" I stay away from............ :P
Harry51 I think might. He mentioned the Dillon to me once.
I use the Lee Turret press for 4acp.
It's probably the biggest bang for your buck unless you do a LOT of loading. Easy to adjust and very precise, sturdy and only a hundred bucks (on sale)
I don't personally own a progressive press, but I have a number of friends with Dillons, all of whom love them and swear by them, and one friend with a Lee progressive, who also loves it and swears by it. If a person is loading lots of ammo, a progressive press makes a lot of sense. I'm a low volume reloader, mostly for rifles, but if I found myself very often with more than a couple of boxes to load at a sitting, I'd get a progressive, likely a Dillon 550.
I've heard the Lee 1000 and the Lee Load Master are junk and a bit dangerous. Reviews seem to think that the Lee Turret is not so bad. I may try one.
