Tell me about progressive presses

Another vote for the 650 Dillon. I've been reloading for 15 years and this press is by far the best I've encountered. I might upgrade to a 1050 one of these days, but I honestly don't think I need it given how fast and accurately I can load on my 650.

My Dream Machine...

I don't really know anything about progressive presses. I'd like to hear from some people who use them.

I've used the Lee Pro1000 and Hornady Pro-jector, still have a 550B. When set up properly, they all produced good ammo at a good rate.

They all have their quirks but the easiest to live with was the 550B, that's why I've used it since 1991.

But if 400 rds per hour is not enough for you, your time is worth more than $10.00/hr, you load a lot of one caliber, and you need to have the fastest, have a look at this Mark X.

I have a 650 and a lee 1000.

I seem to have fewer problems with the Lee. Its worst problem is only 3 stations.

However, I only use it for 38 spl. The 650 is 9mm.

All my rifle loading has been on an old lyman O mag (223, 308, 303 brit, 30-06).
