I would not use a progressive press for rifles. The powder will not measure well. If you do use a progressive press, only use ball powder. It will meter fine, like H380. However, if you are going to shoot competively, I'd go single stage, and make sure you invest in a powder trickler and a VERY good digital scale, or save the money and get a good balance scale. I'm prejudice toward the balance scale, but that's just me. I may catch some heat for this next statement but I'm going to make it anyway, some will disagree but...It is dangerous to reload a max charge in a progressive press with non ball powder. So if you go progressive, stay .5 gr under max and you will be fine. If you are at max, weigh every powder charge every time.
