Got to say...if you buy a progressive for your hand gun ammo...go with a quality press. Not a Lee...ask me how I know. I would recommend a Dillon 550... Oh and the full blown mag handgun loads? Do them on your single stage press. It is a bit safer till you really learn your press. I never load top of the pressure range loads on a progressive. You are loading for quantity. I am sure you understand the reasoning for that statement
