To me a progressive is the only way to go and I have a Hornady Lock-n-load. When I first got the press I setup each die station separately and then produced a single round at a time till I got the hang of it. I have a RCBS lockout die to keep me from under/over charging and havn't had any problems with the first 4k rounds loaded so far. I enjoy reloading and will continue to do so as long as I am able.

Patiently waiting on the Dillon RL550B. I haven't reloaded at all yet, but in doing research, I decided that I wanted to go to a progressive press. To each his own... For me, I wanted to be able to reload a few hundred rounds fairly quickly. Looking forward to getting the toy to play with.

I use a Lee Classic Turret press for pistol (45 & 9mm), and with the indexer. I dump and weigh powder often and visually inspect every round. I do use the attached primer and find it to be almost completely reliable. I also use the disk style powder measure that comes with and have gotten it to work reliably.
For rifle (5.56 & 7.62) I use a Lee Breechlock Challenger single stage and a Uniflow powder measure with micrometer, all in batch mode as taught by Father Mike. I have a Hornady Lock & Load powder scale and measure that I use infrequently. Like Dave, I also like reloading. It gets me out by myself with my thoughts and relaxes me. I'm a medium volume shooter I guess. Maybe 1000 rounds of 45 a month, and much less of other calibers. This setup works well for me and the only reason I could think of to move to something more sophisticated is because I'm an engineer and like fancy equipment  Tom

I have a few Lee Progressive 1000's, a Turret and a single stage... I like the progressive for making mass ammo that I shoot a lot like 9MM, 45ACP, 22TCM and 38Super but use the turret for making batches of ammo to test and it's what I started on, it has loaded tens of thousands of rounds by now and just won't give up
