Based on your response a progressive would be the way to go. The Hornady LNL is a good press, but with the auto case and bullet feeder it runs about $1,100 the Lee LoadMaster is a less expensive alternitive at about $240.00 and comes set for one caliber with dies and powder measure. It does take a little more work to set it up and make sure it is cycling properly but is not that hard to use.
I shoot IDPA and only need to load 150 rounds per match, but spend half my time shooting and half reloading. So a progressive would be in-order if I shot many matches. I have had 8 years of trouble free use from my Lee equipment so I would have no problem ordering a Lee LoadMaster for my progressive press, I just don't want to have to spend that much money on ordering 1,000 bullets at a time.
