Honestly I tried a progressive press, and wound up going back to Lee Classic Loaders for most of my loads (Lee "Whack-a-mole" set). Back when I was still able to reload (can't handle the lead for several more years because of cancer) I did still like to use a single stage press with a carbide die for decapping and resizing. But most of what I loaded were rimmed straight wall cartridges at the time. Then again I was much more interested in consistency, than I was in volume. Plus one thing I had was time, so being able to "only" load 50 rounds in an hour or two wasn't a big deal to me. So much time, in fact, that I even built custom dippers for my powders and calibers. I had a buddy try to tell me "But dippers aren't consistent!" so I showed him half a dozen times in a row I could drop the exact same load (tested on a digital scale) every single time using Trail Boss, which was my main powder.
God Bless, and One Love

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
