I recently switch over from a single stage Lee cast press to the Hornady Lock and Load AP. I am amazed at how fast I can load ammo now and still be safe. The powder drop is very consistant and the press is very smooth. I am still using my Lee dies with no problem. I haven't quite gotten to the point where I feel completely confident in my abilities with a progressive, but I can still load almost 100 rounds an hour very carefully. I am sure I will increase the speed as I become more familar with the press. I have been loading for .45 ACP.
Anyway, if you are looking for a progressive press, check it out. Hornady is also offering a rebate for free bullets. I figured it out and after subtracting the cost for the 500 free bullets, this press will pay for itself in 1000 loaded rounds (I have supplied the cases).
