There are one or two changes in routine needed if you go to a progressive, b ut they don't have to be bad, just different.
Case trimming & primer pocket cleaning are the two most commonly cited concerns.
I deprime with the Lyman, prep the pockets & the rest is done on the progressive, problem #1 solved.

I know the stretch my cases get when resizing, so I allow for it & trim by the spec plus that amount before resizing. Problem #2 solved.
