Thinking of a Progressive Press to Augment my Forster Co-Ax

If Lee made a 4 station version of the Pro, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I'm over 40,000 (yes really) 9mm loads on mine, and while it takes some sorting out, the worst thing about it is having to use another press to factory crimp. The trick to the primer feed is to get it set up, and use only CCI primers, they're thicker which means they're heavier. Once you've run a press with a case feed, there's no going back, but damn it, I want a 4th station.

This was one of the main reason I got a LNL. Plus I wanted smoother indexing (for less/no powder spillage).

The Dillon 550, the regular one is a great deal, smooth works good is simple and you can make a ton of ammo in a short time. I thought about a SBD but the proprietary dies turned me off, and can only be used for one caliber. The 550 on the other hand can be used for all calibers, rifle and pistol. Much easier to change calibers on a 550 than the 650. I have had a 550 for a lot of years and never regretted the decision. The manual indexing is not a big of a con as some people think once you get your rhythm going its easy to fit that flip in. I had a bigger issue when deciding a 650 or LNL. If you picked up the 550 I am sure you will enjoy it. Its a great press.

I always tell people to look at the Hornady Lock-N-Load. It's a great press and you can easily add a case feeder and/or a bullet feeder if you so desire. It's also easy to change calibers - just a set of dies and the corresponding shellplate and your on your way.

I agree! I sell lots of these presses & the customers that buy them are extremely happy with them.
You also get more for your money with the press. It's not just a press in the box.

Any chance of a sale in the future?
I have looked around online and with all the fees and exchange it's still cheaper ordering out of the states...
