Which progressive press do you own?  Up to 3 can be chosen if you own more than 1 different brand/model.  You can come back any time to adjust your vote based on future changes.

I don't yet own one.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

475/480

I have two Hornady progressive presses. Usually one has 44 mag dies the other is for my 22 center fires. I have heard how great other brands are and purchased a couple . I sold them in short order, one did not auto index, another did not use standard dies. Neither had a powder measure as good as the Hornady drum measure.
All in all Hornady customer service is among the best, they also can help with load data.

Dillon XL650. First progressive press and I love it. I did a lot of research before purchasing it and I am very happy with my decision.

Have you ever had the itch to switch to the auto indexing model?

Xl 650.

Its fantastic.   If I could do it over it would be the super 1050.  But I might just add one of them in a few years.

But the 650 was my first progressive machine and I do love it.

I have not yet made the leap to progressive.

When I do it will be a Lock-n-load.

I dont know anything about Dillon, but I cant imagine caliber change-overs get much easier than they do on the LNL AP

I thought about it but never got serious about looking.

Me too. :D 

Definitely gonna be a while yet though. :'( 

My want-to-buy-list is gonna take some time to whittle down. :( 

Plus I'm leaning toward getting a Redding T-7 Turret Press before an all out progressive. :-\

If I live long enough... ::)

I guess manually indexing can only keep a guy more focused than less.  And if it works for ya... 8)

I bought my son in law the T-7 , he loves it.

I load on a 650 myself

Thanks Osageid, good to hear about the T-7.

I don't is the simple answer. Once I bought a Lee something or other progressive, but it never auto fed the primers right. I would be spitting out bullets with no primers all the time. Went back to my single stage press and used a hand primer.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?
