We'll probably not agree on cost, time because it is all about personal preferences. I have plenty of time, and am short on "income" ... but this quote from is one that I haven't heard before. And it has a strong ring of truth to it. So, maybe I need to look in my safe and get rid of a safe queen or two to finance a progressive.

Which will certainly light some fires around here. I would probably purchase the Hornady LNL, simply because its not blue. ROFL.... not really... just chuckling.

Good statement , you almost got me to roll over and buy a Dillon!

Alright Ell, we got him on the ropes now, time for Padre to get the beautiful blue machine!

I started prepping some brass today so I can make a video hopefully soon. Its such a great machine. Blue is so easy on the eyes!

This HAS been one great thread so far, couldn't agree more. Again I know its been states many times but on the "other" forum this would have had to be closed after the 5th reply due to a couple of idiots going off on each other.

Yes, yes I do. Every one every time. That doesn't even include military crimps that need to be removed. Dirty primer pockets getting a new primer shoved up there is like wearing the same underwear but just changing your pants. Looks fine on the outside but...


So dirty primer pockets means I need to clean, decap, then clean again. When you decap it also sizes so the only other steps are to flare, prime, powder and seat. Progressive might speed it up a little but not enough for me to upgrade my Rock Chucker yet.
