Well said
.
As a noob, I listened to to the "old timer's"/"wise ones" and the vote was unanimous that I get a single stage press aka Rock Chucker. Only your vote was for a progressive.
Now I don't shoot competition, only range plinking. But after a year now, if I had it all to buy over again, I'd of spent the extra and gone with a Dillon 550 or 650 with all the bells and whistles. Why? It sucks spending over an hour just to make 100 rds, doing every process 100 times. Sorry if it seems like I'm whining, but I like to work smart, not hard and a using a progressive press is just that, smart.
And if any of you know my story, I screwed the pooch on my first go around using my single stage and had a few squibs. Who's fault was that? It was mine, not mechanical.
Please remember, this is only MY OPINION.
