JMC,

You miss the point, how does one use the capability of a progressive if loading highest quality ammunition?

My service rifle (5.56mm NATO) loads are tumbled, lubed, sized, degreased, trimmed to length, primer pockets uniformed, flashholes deburred, primed with a Dillon, charges are thrown then every charge is weighed to .05 grains, back into the Dillon, seated, and then they are boxed. This requires three different trips to the press for each case!

My 600 yard ammunition seems to shoot about 1 minute with iron sights. Which is to say that a progressive may not be the most effective way to build super accurate bottle neck competition ammunition.

By the way, I currently only own one press, a Dillon 550B which started life at my house as a 450 the month Mike Dillon went Direct way back in the very early 80's.
