I have been using a single stage, and turret press for about 10 years now, both LEE. I just sold both and am ready to upgrade to a progressive. I don't want to stay with lee because I don't like their dies.
Can I get some well articulated suggestions as to which progressive press I should buy and why? I am looking in the $400-$600 market including dies and shell plates. I don't want a press that is limited to only handgun or rifle. I reload 30-06, .223, .45acp, .40S&W, 9mm, .357mag, and .380acp.
Also, I am curious as to if ya'll think there is a cheaper place to buy a press than midwayusa, but is still not going to sell me a lemon.
I am getting back into competition shooting next year, (idpa and uspsa hopefully), and will need to start cranking out some serious amounts of lead soon.
