Accuracy expectations from a progressive press

[nickorette]

I'm just wondering as to what the average accuracy you can expect from reloading rifle ammuntion on a progressive press. I'm thinking about reloading 223 and 308 in a hornady LNL.

I don't plan on shooting past 200 yards.

With a Hornady LNL AP, I get ammo that measures (concentricity, OAL variance, velocity SD and so on) and shoots as well as that from a single-stage (223 in an AR). You could likely do the same with a Dillon 650. You could not do the same with a Lee Loadmaster.

So, you can't do benchrest on a progressive, but you can do decent 200-300 yard loads for a normal rifle.
