I just bought one as well a few weeks back, very happy with it so far. I think all progressives have a slight learning curve, and I definetly wouldn't recommend it to a beginner.

So far all I've done on mine are .223. One update I'm going to make is to get a Hornady seating die that has the bullet sleeve/follower. The flat based longer rifle bullets tend to tip from time to time and the bullet hits the edge of the seater causing it to shear a chuck outa the bullet.

Not real sold on the Hornady bushing on the sizing die, real pain in the ass to make fine adjustments without unlocking the bushing.... Maybe going about it wrong??
